The creators of Copa City, a soccer tycoon game by Polish studio Triple Espresso, announced today (February 10th) two major updates for the title: the fundraising campaign on Kickstarter is now live, and the game will officially launch on March 26, 2026.
The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer, showcasing one of the many challenges players will solve in Copa City while offering a deeper look at the game’s vibrant and bustling world.
Copa City is already fully funded and planned for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.

Why launch a crowdfunding campaign?
Our goal isn’t to finish the game, but to make it bigger: The campaign aims to help expand Copa City’s scope with additional features, future content, and ambitious ideas for launch and beyond. From marketing to game systems, the team behind the title wants to involve the community directly and give fans a voice in shaping what’s coming.
“It also offers something unique: an opportunity for highlighted club supporters to bring their passion into the game itself—whether through custom content, community-driven ideas, or special representations of your club’s culture in-game,” said Jakub Szumielewicz, CEO of Triple Espresso. “Copa City will give supporters a way to shape how their favorite clubs come to life beyond the pitch.”
A campaign created for the community – not just for funding
The development team isn’t afraid to dream big. With growing support from clubs, supporters, and players worldwide, the campaign transforms momentum into something greater. It’s about taking everything the team has built and raising the bar. Kickstarter provides Triple Espresso a way to engage the community in this mission: giving back, receiving feedback, expanding the game, and celebrating this co-created experience.
What is Copa City?
Copa City isn’t a typical soccer game. It’s not about scoring goals – it’s about bringing the entire matchday experience to life. Players become behind-the-scenes organizers preparing the city for game day. From creating fan zones and decorating streets to managing transportation, food trucks, marketing, and stadium logistics, Copa City focuses on orchestrating the energy, excitement, and controlled chaos surrounding the match.
Officially licensed clubs include Borussia Dortmund, FC Bayern München, Flamengo, and others, with more to be announced.
Developed by a passionate team of artists, soccer fans, and game developers at Triple Espresso, Copa City is a heartfelt love letter to soccer culture, urban life, and matchday excitement. Now, the team invites fans to be part of this journey.
