Company mission

To give football the game it deserves.

Our take

GOALS isn't your typical football game. It's a free multiplayer football experience, playable on both PC and consoles, that's on a mission to redefine how we engage with football in the gaming world. Unlike other titles that prioritise profits, GOALS aims to bring football back to its roots and provide players with an authentic and enjoyable experience without draining their wallets.

What sets GOALS apart is its dedication to innovation, not just in gameplay, and the way it operates as a company. Based in Europe and following a remote-first model, GOALS believes in flexibility and inclusivity. The company values a work culture that empowers its team members to express themselves and share their unique perspectives. This commitment to a diverse and balanced workforce mirrors GOALS' dedication to creating a football game that captures the true essence of the sport and resonates with a diverse community of fans.

In a gaming industry often driven by commercial interests, GOALS is the game that football enthusiasts have been waiting for - one that prioritises the love for the sport and the inclusivity of its community over profits. It's a game that aims to truly embody the spirit of football, giving players the experience they deserve.
