Q: What licenses do you have?
A: In Man of the Match, players are offered a unique feature that enables them to scan their own faces using their mobile devices, creating personalized avatars to use in the game.

By providing the option to use personal faces and allowing club customization, Man of the Match ensures an engaging and personalized gaming experience, all without the necessity for official footballer or club licenses.

This dynamic feature adds depth to the gameplay experience and allows for tactical decisions to be implemented during matches.
