After two failed attempts in FIFA 2020 tournaments, we've now turned our hand to Football Manager.
If you’re missing the thrill of seeing your team in action on the pitch, then we might just have the next best thing.
Alongside Football Manager and the EFL's official charity partner, Mind, we're bringing you the EFL Football Manager Cup – an FM tournament that will take place over the next month.
Fifty-four Clubs from across the EFL, each represented by a virtual manager, will face off in a straight knockout competition with the final two teams left standing facing off in the showpiece final in mid-May.
The list of virtual managers representing the 54 Clubs includes current pro footballers, backroom staff and even some famous faces from the FM community.
As well as supporting your team during the tournament, you can also show your support for the EFL’s charity partner, Mind, the mental health charity. In these tough times their services are needed more than ever so while you’re being entertained by the action, please consider donating here.
