'FM26' is a title that has undergone massive changes. From the switch to the Unity engine and a complete graphical overhaul to a total redesign of the UI/UX and the addition of a women's league, it represents the biggest shift in the series' history. The series has continued to evolve since its launch, with updates rolling out over several months to steadily improve quality and boost user satisfaction.

This meetup was an opportunity to witness that turnaround firsthand with fans. On Saturday, July 11, at 4:00 PM, SEGA Publishing Korea hosted the 'Voice of Manager' fan event for 'Football Manager 26 (FM26)' at Gen.G Gaming Xperience (GGX) in Jung-gu, Seoul.

Selected through a pre-application process, 'FM' fans sat down with the developers and publisher, with the event moderated by football commentator and YouTube creator Hwang Deok-yeon. The program featured five segments: 'FM Creator Talk,' 'FM Manager Discussion,' 'FM Quiz,' 'Developer Q&A,' and 'FM World Cup Mode PVP.' It was packed with activities that went beyond just listening to fan feedback, allowing attendees to ask developers questions directly and compete against one another.

As a fan of the FM series, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a chance to meet people who love and enjoy the series just as much as I do, talk about the game, and participate in a Q&A with the developers—giving me even more reasons to love and cherish FM.
