Fifth Tier

You're not just the manager — you own the club. Start in the fifth tier with a broke squad and a crumbling ground: set tactics, sign players, build the stadium, keep the board happy. Then sell up, buy a bigger club, and climb again. Five leagues. One long road to the top.

About the Game

Be the Manager. Be the Chairman.

Fifth Tier puts you in charge of a football club from top to bottom. On the pitch, you pick the squad, set the tactics, and steer every transfer window. Off the pitch, you control the budget, manage the board, and invest in your facilities and stadium. Every decision — sporting or financial — shapes where your club ends up.

Features

KOPYALA (KODLAR DAHIL, AYNEN)

Be the manager. Be the chairman.

Most football games give you one job. Fifth Tier gives you both: run the team from the dugout and run the club from the boardroom — and live with the consequences of every decision on both sides.

The dugout is yours

  • Formations, player roles and match instructions — change them live, mid-match
  • Squads that age, develop, get injured, argue and come good again
  • Youth academy intakes, transfers, contracts, free agents and trials

So is the boardroom

  • Set ticket prices, manage sponsors, balance the wage bill
  • Build your stadium, academy, shop and training ground — brick by brick
  • Share price, dividends, board meetings and a chairman's reputation to protect

Buy. Sell. Climb.

  • Five full divisions, from non-league mud to the top flight
  • Sell your club mid-career and buy a bigger one — build an empire, not just a season
  • Cups, derbies, promotions, relegations and the occasional giant killing

A living football world

  • Every AI club buys, sells, ages and rebuilds season after season
  • Honours boards, records and club legends tracked across your whole career
  • 16-track original soundtrack with an in-game jukebox

Try it first

The free demo lets you play the entire first half of a season — every feature unlocked. If you enjoy it, wishlisting the full game genuinely helps a small indie team. Thank you!
  • Full management control — Build your squad, choose your starting eleven, and set tactics for every match.
  • Run the boardroom — Balance budgets, handle club finances, and invest in facilities and your stadium as chairman.
  • A living, fictional world — Every club, player, and competition is entirely fictional — a football universe that's yours to grow.
  • Long-term career — Progress across multiple seasons and build a lasting legacy, climbing from the lower tiers upward.

Rise Through the Tiers

Start small and climb. Weigh ambition against your budget, develop young talent, and turn a modest club into a powerhouse — one season at a time.
