Expand your Stadium for the future

Healthy finances are vital for short- and long-term success. If you have no Team Money you cannot train properly, buy Players, pay wages, support your Youth Academy or develop your Stadium. Your Stadium and facilities should be your starting point for developing long-term revenues.

The template on the left offers one example of what a healthy Stadium and facilities could look like for a mid-level (Division 4, 5 and 6) team.

As you gain more experience, you should further develop your Stadium, particularly as you rise through the divisions. Higher division teams attract more fans, so their Stadiums need to be larger.
