Top Eleven 2027 Brings Big Tactical Updates and Legendary Names to the Pitch

Latest annual release introduces slate of new content to Nordeus' popular football management game

San Mateo, CA - August 9, 2026 - Zynga Inc., a wholly-owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) and a global leader in interactive entertainment, today announced the release of Top Eleven 2027, the latest update to Nordeus' popular football management game. Featuring significant gameplay updates and the introduction of an array of real-world football legends to the touchline, Top Eleven 2027 powers into another year of action with more immersion and tactical depth than ever before.

Top Eleven 2027 delivers two key updates to the manager experience with a revamped tactical depth and an all-new Top Eleven Mentors campaign.

As football managers, players rely on not just their instincts and know-how to get results, but performance data and statistics which go a long way towards helping unlock the perfect strategy. With Top Eleven 2027's tactics enhancements, players are provided with new tactical inputs, statistical visualizations and reports to help them achieve the football they're aiming to play. With both in-match and post-match statistics being upgraded, players will be better prepared to not only snatch a late goal in a tight match, but also know how to best repeat that success in the next one.

The second half of the 2027 feature slate sees historic names bringing their expertise as Top Eleven Mentors. Football legends Alan Shearer, Claude Makélélé, Nemanja Vidić, and Cesc Fàbregas are included as the first Legendary Mentors in the game's 16-year history, with the latter also joining the ranks as Top Eleven's official brand ambassador.

Top Eleven Mentors provide boosts to specific positions on the pitch, letting squads enjoy the influence that only world-renowned experience can provide. From Shearer's scoring prowess to Fàbregas' vision, Makélélé's ball-winning to Vidić's defensive commitment, Legendary Mentors give Top Eleven managers critical options to explore before those important moments in a season.

"The football goals of our players are our main inspiration," said Simo Kosanović, Senior Director of Product Management at Nordeus. "We aim to give our managers the tools to feel like they're out under the bright lights in a final every time they play Top Eleven. These new tactical options and stats give our players even greater control, letting them see how each decision directly influences the football they play. To do so with the guidance of such legendary players like Shearer, Vidić, Fàbregas and Makélélé really brings it all home for us. We're thrilled to have them onboard for such an exciting feature."

Top Eleven 2027 is available as a free download on the App Store, Google Play Store, AppGallery and Microsoft Store. For more information, please visit the Nordeus website. Join the Top Eleven community on Facebook and on Instagram, and follow us on X and use the hashtag #TopEleven.
