The app was last updated on July 24, 2026. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.5 — 2026-08-28 Several bug fixes ### 2.2 — 2026-08-14 10 new nations — the playable list is now complete to full FIFA membership (212 nations), including Thailand, Russia, Israel, Kuwait, Oman, Syria, North Korea, Cambodia, Guinea-Bissau and Mauritius. Each with correct flags, stadiums and player names. Flags fixed — national flags now display as proper images on every screen and work fully offline. No more two-letter country codes. More varied squads — every nation now has a much deeper pool of authentic player names. Away games fixed — matches are now played at the correct home team's stadium (and get the right weather) instead of always your own ground. Youth fix — young players at smaller nations now develop and improve properly instead of declining. Tournament awards fixed — top scorer and Player of the Tournament now go to the right players from the nations that actually competed, not always your own squad. Custom database fix — imported CSV squads now stay in your save instead of being replaced by random players over time. Thanks for all your feedback and bug reports! ### 2.0 — 2026-07-24 Added national flags and various bug fixes ### 1.9 — 2026-07-20 Added CSV player import function Various Bug Fixes ### 1.7 — 2026-07-15 This is a big one. Based on your feedback, this update fixes several important gameplay issues and adds features you've asked for — including a fairer ranking system and richer match scoreboards. - Fixed: Manager decisions returning every match - The biggest fix in this update. Some managers found that after the first game, matches started playing out on their own — no shout prompts, no in-match decisions, just like watch mode. That's fixed. When you choose to play the full match, you'll now get your touchline shouts and decision moments in every game, first match to last. Fairer team rankings - Getting your nation to a major tournament and then losing to the giants shouldn't wreck everything you built. The ranking system now understands expected results: losing to a far stronger side barely moves you, while genuine shocks — both upsets you cause and collapses you suffer — carry real weight. Underdog runs are rewarded, not punished. - Red cards and missed penalties on the scoreboard - The match scoreboard now tells the full story. Alongside goals, you'll see red cards and missed penalties marked by minute for each side — so a tense 0-0 with a sending-off finally shows what actually happened. - Match speed now remembered - Set your commentary speed to fast and it stays that way for every match after, instead of resetting to normal each time. Your tactics carry over between matches too. - Faster starts - Choosing a shorter history now drops you straight into your career without delay, and the loading screen appears instantly when you kick off a new game. The progress bar also fills smoothly across the whole setup rather than stalling and jumping. - Also in this update: Default history generation set to 20 years for a quicker first run (you can still choose up to the maximum) Smarter, more responsive setup so the game never feels frozen while your world is built A range of stability improvements and smaller bug fixes throughout Thank you to everyone sending feedback and reporting issues — a lot of this update came directly from you. Keep it coming, and enjoy taking your nation all the way. ## Apps similar to SIM | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Dirty Football Boss: Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dirty-football-boss-manager/id6760014933) | — | Free | Games | | [Idle Football Club](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/idle-football-club/id6775264306) | 3.5 (2) | Free | Games | | [Touchline Football Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/touchline-football-manager/id6780492544) | — | Free | Games | | [Ringmaster Tycoon](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ringmaster-tycoon/id6760728412) | — | Free | Games | | [International Cup Sim: Soccer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/international-cup-sim-soccer/id6777551902) | 4.0 (4) | Free | Games | | [MMA Promoter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mma-promoter/id6762361626) | 4.9 (41) | Free | Games | ## More apps by Jason Chi Yuen Fu - [ELT](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/elt/id6760318144) - [Heavyweight Boxing Champion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heavyweight-boxing-champion/id6760427768) All apps by Jason Chi Yuen Fu: https://appshunter.io/developer/1883829326 ## Related topics [international football sim](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/international-football-sim) · [international football manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/international-football-manager) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
