Shochiku Games released Triple Espresso's football event management sim Copa City for PlayStation 5 on June 16, 2026. Players act as match organizers, handling stadium logistics, security, and fan zones. The game includes real clubs like Arsenal and Bayern Munich and real cities. It won the sports category at Steam Next Fest in February 2026.
The player manages transportation, security, and fan zones rather than tactics or transfers. Real-name clubs such as Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Flamengo, Beşiktaş, and Olympique Marseille appear, and the game is set in real cities including Berlin, Warsaw, and Rio de Janeiro. Gameplay splits into a preparation phase for infrastructure and a live operational phase where the player responds to crowd troubles in real time. Three resource types-funds, specialists, and volunteers-must be balanced while satisfying different fan groups. The game won first place in the sports category at Steam Next Fest in February 2026, and its demo accumulated over 55,000 worldwide downloads.
