Eras & Champion Curse

Forever World Cup Simulator · published 11 Aug 2026, 07:16 UTC · build 24670857

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Eras

Every few seasons, the simulator will introduce a new era, with each era focusing on a specific team attribute, such as attack, defense, or mentality.

During an era, teams will be more likely to develop the featured attribute as their strength / strong field. As a result, that attribute will improve at a faster rate throughout the era.

To view the past eras, click the "Eras" button on the homepage.

Champion Curses

The World Cup final, European Championship final, and African Cup final, as well as the knockout stages of the Asian Cup, now have a high chance of triggering the Champion Curse by default. Defending champions will receive a small rating penalty during matches. Hopefully, these changes will reduce the frequency of teams winning consecutive titles.

The setting will soon be configurable on a stage-by-stage basis in the editor.

A new save is required.

Referees

Referees now have the following attributes, which determine which team receives special treatment during matches:

  • Bias Rate
  • Home Preference
  • Bias Based On (Elo , Reputation or Mentality)

Venues

Added an “Injury Chance” column to the venues table.

Bug Fix

Fixed a pagination issue in the user team section.
