Calcio 98

Classic football management, reborn.

Calcio 98 is a single-player football management game starting in the 1998/99 season. Created by passionate fans of the genre’s great classics and inspired in particular by the spirit of PC Calcio 7, it brings deep, hands-on club management back to life through tactics, transfers, training, finances and match-day decisions.

Experience match day

Experimental 3D match preview

The Early Access version also includes a separate experimental 3D match preview, available from the main menu to collect player feedback.

This preview is not currently integrated into the management career. It is intended to experiment with playable matches and help guide their potential future development.

Early Access

We expect Early Access to last approximately 6–12 months, with monthly updates and urgent hotfixes when required. Features, balancing and data formats may change during development, and some updates may require starting a new career.

Calcio 98 currently supports single-player gameplay on Windows with mouse and keyboard. Online play, controller support, Steam achievements and declared Steam Deck compatibility are not currently included.

Customize the game world

You can customize the names of clubs, competitions, coaches and players by importing simple spreadsheets in XLSX format. These customizations remain on the user’s device and are not provided or verified by the developer.
