Sponsors: Your Main Income
Sponsors: Your Main Income
In Football Tycoon, sponsors are your primary source of income. They provide regular payments that fuel your ability to buy players, upgrade facilities, and hire coaches. Without strong sponsorship deals, your club’s progress will stall. Mastering the sponsorship system is key to building a football empire.
🏟️ What Are Sponsors?
Sponsors are companies that pay your club money in exchange for brand exposure on your team’s jersey, stadium, and bus. Each category represents a different sponsorship opportunity, and you can have one sponsor for each at any time.
📈 How Sponsors Help You
- Consistent Income: Sponsors pay you on a weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis depending on the contract.
- Boost Your Funds: Their payments give you the money needed for player transfers, facility upgrades, and coach hires.
- Donor Bonus Influence: Some sponsors offer Donor Bonuses, which boost your earnings when tapping in the Raise Funds section.
🔄 How to Choose a Sponsor
You’ll have access to a list of available sponsors that refreshes every in-game hour. Each sponsor has:
- Fan Requirements: Minimum number of fans you need to sign or keep a sponsor.
- Payment Plan: How often they pay—weekly, monthly, or seasonally.
- Total Payment Amount: How much money they give you over time.
- Donor Bonus (hidden): Impacts Raise Funds tapping bonuses.
The better the sponsor, the higher the fan requirement. If your fan base drops too low, sponsors can cancel the deal, leaving you with less income. Stay popular to keep your best sponsors!
💡 Sponsorship Tiers & Payments
Sponsors are categorized by levels. Higher levels give more money but have steeper fan requirements. For example:
- Level 1 Sponsor:
- Min Fans: 0
- Pays: $13/week, $80/month, or $1,000/season
- Level 10 Sponsor:
- Min Fans: 375,300
- Pays: $1,158/week, $7,408/month, or $92,600/season
- Level 20 Sponsor:
- Min Fans: 625,974,300 (massive!)
- Pays: $173,145/week, $1,108,128/month, or $13,851,600/season
Sponsors scale as your fan base grows, so increasing your fans unlocks more lucrative deals.
⚠️ What Happens If You Lose Fans?
If your fans drop 10% below the sponsor’s minimum requirement, they’ll cancel the contract. This means:
- You lose regular payments.
- You’ll need to find a replacement sponsor quickly (usually a lower-paying one until your fan base recovers).
Stay competitive in the league and keep fans happy by winning matches and managing prices at your stadium to avoid losing sponsors.
✅ How to Maximize Sponsor Income
- Grow Your Fan Base: Winning games and managing fan happiness leads to more fans, unlocking higher-tier sponsors.
- Balance Income Streams: Sponsors provide steady money, but you should also earn through stadium sales and fundraisers.
- Reevaluate Sponsors Frequently: Every hour, new sponsors are available. If you qualify for a better deal, don’t hesitate to switch.
- When switching sponsors, you’ll get a warning screen telling you when your next payment is due and confirming the change.
- Use Donor Bonuses: Some sponsors offer better donor bonuses, making Raise Funds tapping more profitable.
🔥 Pro Tips
- After league promotions, immediately check for new sponsor offers! Your larger fan base may unlock huge deals.
- Before switching sponsors, wait until after the next payment, so you don’t miss out on income.
- Balance your team upgrades and marketing efforts—a bigger fan base is often more valuable than a single sponsor payment.
Sponsors are your financial backbone in Football Tycoon. Nurture your fan base, and the big money sponsors will follow.
