Hometown FC: Football Tycoon: iPhone vs Android

Whitby is one of more than 14,000 real starting places across 23 countries in European football. You give the fictional club a new name and its own colours. Its first ground is modest.

The coach controls the team sheet, while a sporting director scouts potential signings. Their recommendations come to your desk with a price. You decide what the club can afford without putting the next season at risk.

Club money is only one part of the career. Away from the club, you can buy property and make personal investments. Your family changes as the seasons pass. In time, you choose who may inherit the club and the obligations that come with it.

Whitby changes as the club grows. Sensible investment around the club can bring more people through the gates and improve its commercial outlook. Better facilities give young players a clearer route. Promotion can raise income, but expansion still has to fit the budget.

The core career is playable offline after installation. Ads, purchases, store prices, verification, recovery and support can require a connection.

You are the owner. You do not pick the starting eleven and you do not scout players yourself. Your coach and sporting director bring you the decisions that matter, and you say yes or no. What you really build is bigger than a team. You build the town around it.

Start with a non-league village club and almost nothing in the bank. Invest in the town, and the town grows. A bigger town means bigger sponsors, fuller stands, a stronger youth academy, and a club that good players actually want to join. Win promotions, lift trophies, and reinvest. That loop is the whole game, and every win pays for the next one.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO
- Build the town. Shops, hotels, training grounds and more, each one feeding back into the club.
- Approve the deals. Transfer targets arrive as proposals. Take them on yourself or let your sporting director handle them.
- Climb the pyramid. Five divisions, promotion and relegation, playoffs, domestic cups and European nights.
- Watch the matches. Take an instant result or follow it live, then see how your decisions paid off.
- Live the owner life. Personal wealth, homes, cars, investments, family, and an heir to carry the club to the next generation.

A REAL FOOTBALL WORLD
Fictional clubs across the top divisions, a deep economy that behaves like a real one, continental and international tournaments, and players who develop, age, and retire over careers that span decades.

FAIR BY DESIGN
The core career is designed to be completable without a purchase. There is no subscription and there are no energy timers. Optional offers include cash, paid starting tiers, premium facilities, supporter benefits and Remove Ads. Purchases cannot choose a match result directly, but they can affect resources and progression; price and effect are shown before purchase. Your career can be stored locally and, after disclosure, synced privately through the signed-in platform account. Cloud sync, ads, store prices, purchases, verification, recovery and support can require a connection.

Hometown FC is for anyone who ever looked at a club and thought they could run it better. Take a village side, build it into a dynasty, and leave something behind.
