The 2026 World Cup kicks off tomorrow, and we're building a dedicated FM Scout WC2026 content hub - a home for everything we publish around the tournament, whether it's pure real-life football or given a Football Manager spin.
We'd love to have community contributors involved. If you've ever wanted your work seen by a big audience, this is the moment: anything you create gets published on FM Scout with full credit to you - the kind of exposure and recognition that's hard to get anywhere else in the FM world.
Content we're looking for:
- Players to watch
- Team reviews with a FM26 spin
- Real-life opinion pieces on players or storylines
- Replica tactics of current or historical national teams
- FM26 simulations of the tournament
- FM26 manager stories, if you're managing a nation at the WC
Not sure you can commit to a full article? No problem. The easiest way in is to just start a Manager Story thread of your World Cup 2026 save, or even drop a post about one player or team you rate. Small contributions are genuinely welcome - pick whatever fits the time you've got.
If you're up for it, reply here to declare your interest, or message me or one of the moderators on chat.
