If you ever played Footballidentity (Football Identity), you know it wasn’t just another football game.
It was a world.
What Was Footballidentity?
Footballidentity was a browser-based football MMO that allowed players to create their own footballer and live out a complete career — from an anonymous lower-league player to a star of the biggest stadiums.
You played matches in real time, trained, chose your playing style, changed positions, negotiated with clubs, and built your reputation. But what truly set Footballidentity apart from other games was its community.
Community Above All
For many players, Footballidentity was never just a passing form of entertainment.
It was daily competition and the closest thing to real football an online game could offer.
Footballidentity wasn’t about controlling a team — it was about being one player among 22 real people on the pitch, where teamwork, positioning, and trust mattered more than raw stats.
It was a game where David could beat Goliath — through knowledge, tactics, and patience.
- Players connected with people from different countries
- Rivalries and friendships were formed
- Endless discussions took place about tactics, balance, and game development
It was a place where you didn’t just click through menus — you truly lived as a footballer.
Why Talk About Footballidentity Today?
Years after the game shut down, one question still keeps coming up among fans:
“What if Footballidentity came back?”
The Fan Revival Project is not an announcement of a new game, nor a promise.
It is an attempt to show that interest still exists — and that the community never truly disappeared.
What Is the Footballidentity Fan Revival Project?
This project was born out of love for the original game and a desire to preserve the memory of a unique piece of online football history.
The goal is simple:
- to reconnect former players
- to document experiences and memories
- to show that a real, living community still exists
No false promises. No marketing smoke.
