In development · demo with fictional data

Arquibancada Manager

A football management game that runs in your browser, with its own match simulation engine. Build your squad, pick a tactic and follow every match play by play.

No sign-up and no install. The demo saves nothing.

The demo is short: just 2 fictional clubs, Rio FC and Capital Paulista, and a single 90-minute match. The full game has a league with 20 clubs.

Result of a real simulation by the game engine with a fixed seed, which is why it is always the same. When you play the demo, each match gets its own result. Clubs, players and stadiums are made up.

What already works

  • Deterministic 2D match enginethe same seed and the same commands always produce the same match.
  • Tactics, formations and substitutionsto adjust the team before and during the match.
  • League and season (full game)38 rounds with 20 clubs, league table, top scorers and season wrap-up. This demo has only 2 clubs and one match.
  • Play replayswith a timeline bar to watch the match again.
  • Animated crowd and stadiumwith a walk-out ceremony before kick-off.
  • About 95 automated testscovering the engine, the season and the demo.

How it's built

Arquibancada Manager is developed by an independent Brazilian founder with professional experience in digital production and visualization. Using Claude Code as the main development tool, the project already has its own simulation engine, sports management systems and automated tests.

Our aim is to show how artificial intelligence can expand what is possible in building digital products, even for extremely small teams.

Our vision

To turn Arquibancada Manager into a football management platform that runs in the browser, starting with Brazilian audiences and growing into a complete experience of managing clubs, competitions and seasons.

The goal is to build a sustainable commercial product, with continuous updates, advanced simulation features and future artificial intelligence integrations to deliver a more dynamic and personalized experience.

Next steps

Plans · not implemented yet

The plan is to use the Claude API inside the game for text only: dynamic match commentary, press conferences and a technical assistant. Match results would stay deterministic, decided by the simulation engine and not by the AI.

This is NOT implemented yet. Today's demo does not use AI while you play.

Notice

Demo with fictional data. Clubs, crests, players and people are made up; any resemblance is a coincidence. No connection to real clubs, leagues or federations.
