The Women’s Champions League is also included in the licensing agreement and will feature in a future version of the game, although not the 2023 edition.
Described as “the world’s leading football management simulation series,” the new Football Manager release will be available on the PlayStation console for the first time, as well as on PCs and Macs.
Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive’s studio director, said: “Football Manager 2023 marks another significant step forward for the Football Manager series as we introduce the UEFA club competitions and bring the game to PlayStation 5.
