RB Évora: the challenge that takes Red Bull to the Alentejo in FM2020

Salzburg, Leipzig, New York… and Évora. What if Red Bull chose the Alentejo for its next club?

That is the premise of this challenge. After the FM2019 version, RB Évora is back, now for FM2020.

How it works

In this mod you run Red Bull’s new team in Portuguese football from day one. You start with 10 million for transfers, far less than Leipzig or New York had, and you have to get the club’s three teams performing quickly.

Why Évora?

Because the Alentejo, despite being the country’s largest region, has no professional club. And because Red Bull is known for investing in youth, and Évora is no exception: the club has under-19 and under-23 teams and excellent facilities for young players.

RB Évora starts in the Campeonato de Portugal and also enters the Liga Revelação, replacing Cova da Piedade. Finances are comfortable thanks to sponsorship, with those 10 million to spend. Home will be the Red Bull Arena Évora, for 25,000 people. Until it is ready, the team plays at the training ground, which holds 2,000.

There are also three development teams: the B team, in the Évora First District division, the under-23s, in the Liga Revelação, and the under-19s, who start in the second junior league. And, to make things harder, with the new Club Vision the board demands signing Portuguese players, attacking football and investment in youth.
