About

You were a 30-something office worker who quit your job to become a football team owner. You used your savings of 15 million yen to buy a stadium—though it's a tiny one with only 300 seats. No sponsors will back a small grassroots team. You must earn promotion to attract sponsors. If you fail to achieve promotion within 3 years, you will go bankrupt and the game will be over. Your current funds are 15 million yen. You need to use this money to hire an assistant coach who can lead the team to promotion. Your starting squad consists of 16 players gathered from local clubs, all 18 years old.
