TopGoal , the football-themed metaverse, is launching the alpha version of its much-awaited NFT GameFi application, TopManager. TopManager is set to be a pioneer in the TopGoal metaverse, engaging both crypto and non-crypto users through their love for the sport.

TopManager is a football team management game in the blockchain sports landscape. Leveraging the popularity and utility of NFTs, the game employs a play-to-earn (P2E) model where gamers can earn cryptocurrencies or collect other digital assets. The gameplay is set to be a user-friendly, Web 3.0 counterpart of Football Manager, with novel features like training, upgrading, merging, and inheriting players' skills.

Though the game features both Player versus Player (PvP) and Player versus Environment (PvE) modes, the alpha version will have only the PVP season mode. This is known as Top League and will allow managers to earn TMT and special TopGoal mystery boxes depending on the daily rank points during the season.
