Co nowego

Season, referral pass, and achievement cards on the dashboard now have distinctive football backgrounds and clearer progress.

Matches now store the data needed to replay and analyse them exactly; match outcomes are unchanged.

The top bar has been refreshed. Search now has its own page, notifications and messages share one icon, squad status is a coloured icon, and the profile menu is simpler — signing out now asks for confirmation.

Rank IV–VII cups are temporarily hidden while we align their prize money with the other ranks.

The manager profile has a new look — a large header with a background, one main button with a «…» menu for other actions, and a stylish club card. Pick the profile header and club card background from 5 free presets.

Managers now stay "online" for 10 minutes after their last activity, even if they just keep the tab open.

In extra time, the half-time break now appears in the match feed after the 105th minute, not after moments from the 106th.

The "Goal!" card in the match broadcast now shows the score including the goal just scored, not the previous one.

During a match, the "Today" block in the left menu now shows the live broadcast minute and score (e.g. "67' 2:1"), and the final score after the full-time whistle.

Corners are now swung into the box, and attackers head at goal from corners and crosses. The keeper can claim the delivery and a defender can head it clear, often for another corner. Headers are slower and less accurate than shots with the foot.

Goalkeeper saves now depend on the gap between the keeper and the shooter rather than on the overall attribute level. Evenly matched teams save at the same rate at any level, and keepers save slightly more often overall.

Penalties are now awarded only for a clear foul in the box. Light contact there no longer becomes a penalty, and play goes on.

Invite your friends! For everyone who joins via your link and plays a first match, you get 5 butcer and points on the new season referral pass, with exclusive frames, banners and titles the shop doesn't sell. At 3, 10, 20 and 100 friends you earn permanent titles next to your name. Your link, QR code and progress are on the new "Invite friends" page. If your Telegram is linked, the STRATKA bot lets you know when a friend joins and when they count.

Save the Match got a big update — a stadium scoreboard and match flow, your line-up on a pitch with every player's fitness, tap-to-substitute, tactics that explain their effect, a dramatic replay of the rest of the match, your rank among today's managers, a daily streak and a card for Stories.

Chat and private messages have a new messenger look. On the phone the chat fills the screen, the input always stays above the keyboard, you pick a room from its name at the top, and message actions (react, reply, edit, report) open with a tap or long press. A «New messages» divider and a jump-to-new button were added. The rank, clan and cup rooms are gone — the language rooms and «Transfers» remain.

Clans are temporarily switched off while we rework them.

Clearer cups. The home page now shows the cup your club is playing instead of the open cups — the stage and where you stand: playing now, next opponent or knocked out. In the cup bracket a match in progress shows its minute and score («67' 2:1») instead of «Watch». The match page no longer carries staff-only buttons, and a cup that has already started can no longer be restarted or filled with bots.

New daily puzzle "Save the match" — no sign-up needed. Your team is losing around the 70th minute; you get three subs and two tactical changes, and the real engine plays out the rest. Plus a new page, "How the match engine works", in plain words with honest numbers.

You can now invite a specific club to a friendly. The "Friendly" button on a club's page opens a confirmation with line-up and limit checks, and the request is sent only after you confirm. The new "My requests" tab shows incoming requests (accept or decline) and the ones you sent, and the menu shows the number of new ones next to "Friendlies". Open challenges and requests are valid for 3 hours.

STRATKA is now available in Polish, Turkish, Portuguese and Spanish, and Russian is back in the language switcher. Pick a language in the header, your profile or settings; new players get theirs automatically from the browser or Telegram.

On the player page, the "Matches" and "Career" tabs are replaced by one "Statistics" tab — a season or whole-career summary, form, recent matches and career by season and club. An analyst on your staff unlocks a deeper breakdown, from per-90 numbers to trend, impact on results and strengths; about other clubs' players he learns less, depending on your scouting.

Every club and footballer now has a public page with crest, ranking, results, squad and career, and match pages show a written report with goals, cards and the player of the match. Pages have language addresses (/uk, /en, /de), and the Share button gives a link in your language with a proper preview in Telegram and social networks.

See your stadium in 3D, built from the stand level, the club colours and the decor you own; turn it on a computer, phones show a picture of the same model. Matches now play in the home club's stadium — wide screens surround the 2D pitch with stands in the club colours, a crowd as big as the attendance, the tifo and evening floodlights; phones get a club-coloured frame, a tifo strip and the attendance.

Our Telegram bot @StratkaGameBot now answers — /start greets you with a "▶ Play" button and /help explains how to get going. The bot speaks English, Ukrainian and German (following your Telegram language), and links to a match or club open the right page in the game.

STRATKA is ready to run inside Telegram — as a mini app with automatic sign-in — and the website gets "Continue with Telegram". In Settings → Account you can link Telegram to your existing account and unlink it. The feature turns on as soon as our bot goes live.

You can now share a match, club or profile straight to Telegram — a match or club link opens right in the game inside Telegram. The website also has a new "Play in Telegram" button.

Interface palettes. In the profile menu and in «Settings → Appearance» you can pick a colour scheme — Floodlight, Classic grey, Pitch, Midnight or Claret — in dark and light mode; the choice is saved to your account. The manager profile is now compact — a few-line header and «Overview», «Wall», «Friends» tabs; long club names on the match scoreboard fit in two lines.

Every new coach now gets a personal welcome message from STRATKA in their language right after creating a club — with the club's starting budget and links to the first steps. System messages carry the STRATKA mark and need no reply.

Mastery and fitness in squads are now rings, like talent; a scouted player's mastery shows a rank ("Star", "Leader"…) instead of a range. Trophy names fit the showcase, notifications have an icon and status, and cups, the player profile and youth cards look tidier. Settings are split into sections, and About the game shows a "New" label. Friendlies no longer show "Round 1".

The game is more resilient under load — technical records of finished matches no longer fill up the database, and live match broadcasts put less strain on the server.

Your club's whole identity and decor now live on one "Identity & decor" page — name, crest, kits, banner and theme, trophy cabinet and legends, stadium (name, facade, seats, tifo, anthem) with a live preview. The shop groups items the same way and shows where they appear. Seasons, weekly quests and achievements are explained on screen, with a new help article.

Navigation is smoother. The STRATKA splash appears only once per session, and clicking a notification no longer reloads the game. Help and About the game (with the version and a new-update marker) are always at the bottom of the menu, manager profiles, help and About open inside the game with the menu, and player, match, club, forum topic and listing pages have a "← Back" button.

Public pages (home, help, clubs, players, matches) now open straight away without the loading splash. The home page has a game overview, answers to common questions and links to the top clubs and notable matches, and match headers no longer run team names into the score. Standout friendlies involving players' clubs now get a searchable page too.

We now count site visits ourselves — no cookies, no third-party services, with an anonymised visitor mark that changes every day. Details are in the Privacy Policy; Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are respected.

The STRATKA team now has a sub-admin role. Sub-admins carry their own «Sub-admin» shield next to their name in chat and on the forum and moderate just like moderators.

You can now sign in with Google inside the Telegram app — through your browser, with a confirmation of which Telegram gets linked. Signing in to Telegram again after signing out no longer shows an error, website sign-in with Telegram is more reliable, and Ukrainian texts with an apostrophe (such as the coach's full name label) display correctly again.

The top bar looks cleaner — no more vertical dividers between items.

A fresh look. The dark theme is livelier — deep night tones instead of flat grey — and the light theme was rebuilt from scratch. Home is now short — your club and next match, progress cards, open cups of your rank with one-tap entry, and shortcuts you pick yourself. On phones the bottom bar has four sections, the rest is in the menu at the top left, and profile, language and theme open from the avatar in the header.

Screens are simpler. On phones the page header fits one line, stats fit one line without zeros, and tabs that don't fit become a list. Training is split into "Today" and "Progress", settings into sections, and the match report has Summary · Commentary · Stats · Lineups tabs. Notifications no longer show raw templates like "{player}", and long club names are no longer cut off.

Simpler pages. «My staff» is one table of roles with the staff market on its own page, the club page is split into tabs, transfers into three sections with one row per lot, and the stadium and buildings pages no longer repeat each other. On the website — a shorter home page, a one-screen «About the game», a separate «What's new» page and help with categories.

If you're already signed in, the home page now opens the game right away. The landing page no longer flashes for a second before the app loads.

On phones the bottom menu no longer covers the bottom of dialogs and sheets, so buttons like "Sign out" in the profile are visible and tappable again.

The 3D stadium on desktop no longer makes the page lag. The scene draws a frame only while the camera moves, the shadow is computed once instead of every frame, and flags, masts and roofs are drawn together. On a slow computer the quality lowers itself, and if that is not enough, the stadium picture is shown instead.

Bot clubs are no longer twice as strong as players' clubs — their strength now matches their rating, and friendlies pair you with the bot closest to your rating instead of the strongest one in range.

The market and friendlies are fairer. A player changes clubs for at least half of their valuation and cannot be sold or listed during a match. The money behind a bid you lead with is reserved. Only the first three friendlies a day give experience, and friendlies no longer affect stadium attendance. The sponsor and first-week money rewards start after your first official match. Up to 30 friend requests a day.

Google sign-in now opens on the stratka.app domain and works more reliably in browsers that block third-party cookies. New passwords need at least 8 characters (existing passwords still work), and verification and password reset emails arrive in your interface language and bring you back to the site.

STRATKA team accounts are better protected. Two-factor authentication can only be set up right after signing in, and the owner is notified of every change to it. Private clan sections on the forum can no longer become public, and players who hide their online status no longer appear in the chat's who-is-here list. Your opponent no longer sees your players' kickoff fitness during a match.

Security update for the game server: known weaknesses are closed, including one where under heavy load a server reply could reach the wrong player.

The game now holds up better against abusive traffic: slow or oversized requests can no longer take the server down, and the public match page only streams replays. Manager names, city, motto and profile settings now pass the same checks as club names, and invisible control characters are stripped from messages.

The STRATKA site now runs on a current version of its web platform with the latest security fixes, and page protection against third-party code is stricter.

Live matches, chat and notifications hold up better under load and after server updates — tabs reconnect on their own, and not all at once. Players on a shared network (office, mobile carrier) hit the connection limit less often. After a ban or a clan kick, chat access ends immediately.

Chat now has rooms: by language, by rank (I–II, III–IV, V–VII), for your clan, for the cups your club plays in, and «Transfers». You can reply to messages, mention managers with @ (they get a notification), and see who is in the room and who is typing. Links to a player, club or match show as a card.

Clans are now live. Found a clan with a name, a tag and two colours, or join one — right away if it is open, by application if it is closed. Members share a clan chat and a private forum section only they can see; the leader accepts applications, invites friends' clubs or clubs found by name, removes members and changes the description, colours and entry rules.

You can now rename and restyle your club — name, abbreviation, city, motto, a crest from the editor and three kits with a live preview. Every club gets one free rename and one free crest redesign, and any change can be undone for 10 minutes. The shop has tabs and 24-hour returns for unused items, and the butcer page shows your history. Renaming the stadium is now priced by club rank and possible once every 30 days.

The forum got a big update: unread and bookmarks, watching topics, quote replies, @mentions with notifications, reactions on posts, marked answers, search, subforums and polls for experienced members. Premoderation now applies only to newcomers in their first days: a moderator checks their topics and replies first.

There is now a Help centre — "Help" in the menu, with search and a glossary of game terms. Its articles cover your first week, squad and tactics, matches and live control, training and the academy, transfers, cups, finances and the shop, staff, buildings and the stadium, chat, the forum, friends and clans, the rules and settings. A "?" next to most screen titles opens the matching article.

A manager profile with a face, frame, banner, title, showcase and signature; statuses (Founder, Beta tester, Champion…) next to your name and on the manager card. New weekly quests, a 28-day season with a free cosmetics track, 30 achievements and a «First week» for new clubs — rewards in training tokens, money and cosmetics.

Club decor: banner, page theme, trophy showcase with a cabinet skin, legend plaque and statue, anthem. At the stadium: facade, seats in club colours and a tifo at home official matches (looks only, no effect on attendance). Faces now appear in the academy, the scout report, on coaches and legends, and a youth keeps his face after signing and promotion.

The new home page shows the game in action and leads straight to sign-up. Creating a club now takes 3 steps — you can keep the default tactics — and ends on a page with your squad and your first match. In your first minutes short tips show where to start: a friendly against a bot, the live scoreboard and controls, your first training. Turn them off in settings or show them again; tips you close stay closed on your other devices.

New player faces. Every player got a new look once — more realistic for his country and age; in the squad and on club pages he wears the team's kit. Players now go grey and bald as they age and change their haircut and beard about every six months.

Moving between sections no longer flashes a loading screen — pages load ahead of time, and Back returns you to the same spot in long lists. The start-up splash disappears as soon as the game is ready, and the home page, sign-in and Help open without it at all.

A finished match now opens on the result — big score, player of the match, top ratings, a short "why" and a momentum strip that jumps the replay. In live matches a tactics preset now takes two taps and confirms itself, and on phones the scoreboard is a single line.

Every spend of money, tokens or OPUT now shows the price on the button and asks for confirmation with your balance before and after; if you are short, you see by how much and roughly how many days of income it takes. Dismissals, unlisting and deals are confirmed too, and watchlist changes can be undone in one tap.

Redesigned squad list and player page — four tabs, filters in a side sheet, player strength coloured by tier, shirt numbers changed from a menu. The home screen shows what to do next, your last result and form as five blocks, and First steps link straight to the right section.

Lime now means an action only — cash, rating and counters are neutral. Cash and rating count up when they change, and friendlies, notifications and empty cup, friend and message lists suggest the next step.

Buttons now show keyboard focus, and an unavailable action explains why in plain text. Ratings and attributes have their own quality colour scale, and dialogs and notifications close smoothly and respect the "reduce motion" setting.

Tactics is now a board: one row with formation and plan above the pitch, formations as mini pitches with «Recommended», and the dials in a «Game plan» drawer with ready-made plans. Swap players with two taps (player → slot); «Auto», formation changes and removals can be undone; «Defence / Midfield / Attack» bars show an estimate of line strength.

The stadium name you chose when creating your club is now shown everywhere, including on phones. Purchased gold and rainbow nickname colours are visible again in chat, on the forum and in profiles. Club and stadium names can no longer contain invisible characters or look-alike letters, and chat accepts only the reactions from the picker.

Stadium, buildings and finance no longer flash "failed to load" or an empty log while your profile loads; training and a transfer lot show the page outline instead of a grey box.

A club's first cup of the day pays in full — prizes, match rewards and tickets; each further cup that day pays half of the previous one. Early ticket income is smaller, and stadium expansions from level 3 up are much cheaper.

Fatigue now shows on the pitch. Late in a match tired players run and accelerate more slowly, press less and misplace more passes, so stamina and high-intensity tactics matter more, and a fresh substitute brings a real speed advantage.

Versions and a public changelog are here: every release now has a version number, and the About page shows what changed.
