👋 Welcome and Introduction

First of all, welcome to Footium!

Footium is redefining the landscape of football management games. Footium is a live, immersive, strategic gaming experience where you own and manage your own digital football club. Club owners buy, sell, and sign unique players, craft tactical game plans, and compete in real-time leagues where the glory of promotion and prizes, and the risk of relegation and ruin, are just a corner away.

With Footium, you're not just playing a game; you're actively participating in a football ecosystem where every decision shapes your club's legacy. It’s your team, your strategy, and your victory.

This guide details how you can get started with Footium - If you’d like to learn more about the game itself and how it all works, head to the Footium Game Guide.

👏 How to get started.

In order to play Footium, you need to buy a Footium Club and a squad of Footium Players. To do this, you’ll need a crypto wallet and some ETH on Arbitrum.

Arbitrum is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain (meaning it’s faster and cheaper than Ethereum mainnet, but still secured by it).

We’ve got a full in-depth guide here, but here’s a quick walkthrough:

💼 Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet (Rabby Recommended)

To play Footium, you need a Web3 wallet — think of it as your account for the Footium universe. We recommend using Rabby Wallet — a modern, beginner-friendly browser extension that works great with Arbitrum.

🟢 Rabby is the preferred wallet for Footium players.

If you’re already using MetaMask, that’s fine too — you can use it or import it into Rabby.

🔐 Protect Your Secret Recovery Phrase

When you set up your wallet, you’ll be given a Secret Recovery Phrase (sometimes called a seed phrase). This is incredibly important — it’s the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access.
