Footium Scores Grant with the Arbitrum Foundation
We’re absolutely delighted to share that we have secured a grant from the Arbitrum Foundation. This grant will allow Footium to continue expanding our community and reach, as well as bring new users to Arbitrum!
The Grant
This grant places Footium among a group of just over 50 projects selected for this honour, underscoring the unique potential and vision Footium brings to the rapidly evolving web3 gaming space. The Arbitrum Foundation’s support is not just a financial boost but a vote of confidence in our mission to redefine the landscape of football management games. This collaboration aligns perfectly with Footium’s ambitious vision of becoming a leader in the gaming industry, leveraging Arbitrum’s cutting-edge layer2 solutions to offer an unparalleled gaming experience!
“We are super excited to be bringing Footium to Arbitrum — After speaking with many L2 teams in the space, it became clear that Arbitrum was the best home for Footium for many reasons, especially the support offered by their team!
Receiving the grant from the Arbitrum Foundation to continue expanding Footium’s userbase was the cherry on top, and we are excited to show the Arbitrum community what Footium is all about”

Footium Launching on Arbitrum
All 3060 Footium Clubs officially landed on Arbitrum One after the migration from Ethereum mainet yesterday as we get closer to the launch of the game. For our players, this translates to a richer Footium experience where you can mint academy prospects, negotiate and scout for star players in the transfer market, and manage your club’s strategy — all with the advantages of minimal gas fees and increased speed. This strategic move ensures that your focus remains on the game, not the cost of participation.
If you missed the news or don’t know what this means for you as a Footium Club owner — please make sure to read our detailed FAQ page here.
