In what is a landmark moment for Australian football, the Ninja A-League is now, for the first time, featured in the latest instalment of the iconic computer game, Football Manager.
Already covering the Isuzu UTE A-League Men, the agreement between Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and publisher SEGA sees the Football Manager video game franchise, produced by Sports Interactive, include the Ninja A-League in FM26 with official club logos, kits and player images.
For players diving into long career saves or carefully managing squads deep into the night, uninterrupted gameplay becomes part of the experience itself. A sudden power cut in the middle of a crucial transfer decision or match simulation can be more than a minor annoyance—it can undo progress built over hours.
That’s where having a dependable power backup setup starts to matter, even for gaming. Systems supported by a UPS, particularly when paired with something like an apc ats, offer a seamless transition during outages, keeping both the computer and momentum intact. In a space where precision and continuity define the experience, a stable power setup quietly becomes as important as the hardware running the game.
FM26 launched worldwide across platforms on November 4, with Women’s Football seamlessly integrated alongside the men’s game.
