I have been supporting Mansfield Town (English 4th division) since 1995, even though I am Belgian 🙂. I got the shirts and everything. This year I finally got around to see them play in the promotion playoffs and at Wembley for the promotion final, with my 5 year old son. It was a magical experience and he is now already a Mansfield Town fan. We are going to see them play again before the end of this year. A family tradition is born. Thank you Football Manager! 😀
Amazing! I'm from Mansfield and have had a season ticket ever since I could! Sorry you had to witness such a poor display though 😆 hopefully we'll be better when you next watch us!
FAC made this save even more special with all their support and then this trip. Well done to them and I hope they have success in the next few years. How many of us are going to be starting as FAC on FM23? lol
I may not get FM23. Once I finish my Smorgon save in Belarus from FM21 I might have the Dorfers for one of my saves on FM22. I try to not have too many saves at once.
Any minor club should be taking this as an opportunity to grow their fanbase internationally. I'd be curious to see if they found if their sales in memorabilia had any increase due to Zealand. Maybe get a discount with the kit for FM23 club save?
Beautiful video. Like others said, gonna be hard to top the love you got from this beautiful Austrian club, but I can't wait to see what team you choose in FM23.
This was super wholesome and funny. I love how Zealand looked out of place when they were introducing him on the pitch as the youtube from new york that has 200k subs and plays FM...LOL hahahahahahaha he was knighted super nerd the moment he got off that plane
It is incredible what can happen when you get people passionate about football like Z and combine them with people passionate about their club like Floridsdorfer AC. Absolutely beautiful stuff. How can't you be romantic about Football?
Thank you Zealand. you experiencing our football culture like this warms my heart. I feel like ive played on that pitch. Gonna make me enjoy the streams even more now
This video was awesome. You did a really great job of keeping it about the content and not about you like a huge majority of other UA-camrs do. Looks like everyone took the whole thing in good humour.
You’d never see Kevvy however many times he’s won the showdown being invited to any of the clubs he manages in the game. Well done Zealand and not just for being an American who understands and follows actual Football.
I always thought this was a "park to prem" team. but to find out they are a real team and someone i can follow. Their stadium is cracking, open and with such an awesome surrounding.
Finding out that one of the biggest FM UA-camrs manages a small team from my city is crazy. I've been an SK Rapid Wien fan all my life, but this is amazing. Fun fact: Arnautovic started at FAC.
I love this so much and loved it so much during the save. We all became infatuated with FAC for their great support and we won’t forget them even after the save has ended. It was such a great positive relationship and a win-win for both sides!
Loved watching this, not only for them giving you an inside look of the day to day life at the club but how it must’ve felt for you seeing it. Incredibly wholesome video
Do a Brøndby IF career in 2023. They just got new american owners and that has split the fansbase in two. Please bring us back to Europa League or even Champions League. We are a sleeping GIANT. Love your videos!
As I met him there when they played and talked around an hour about everything, I can say he is the nicest and coolest guy I have ever seen from youtube in my entire life Thank you again for the time we had and the 2 goals we celebrated 🔵⚪️🇦🇹🫶 11:48 oh hey myself 👋
The talk: "We are expected to win today boys. So dont let the fans down!" The team: *neutral* The talk: "The media have given you a lot of praise lately, show them why!" The team: *Happy and motivated*
That underpaid "marketing manager" is doing some great work using youtube to promote the club. Idk why almost all the PR´s from mid-sized and small football clubs are so conservative about such things, UA-camrs and influencers can bring much attention.
Bate, the Dragons, The Dorflers… what is next? Maybe take a Bosnian club - from division 1 or 2, it’s an unreal challenge, it took me 20 years to win the Champions League :)
It's gonna be tough to get something as magical as this for FM23
That's what we said about Oriental Dragon last year
@@lennartj5356 he never got invited there tho
He will get appointed as real manager in 23😎
well...
This comment aged well
My favourite part was when Zealand said, "It's Dorfin' time" and then proceeded to Dorf all over Austria
Even funnier when you know that Dorf just means village
lmao, that's gold
@@RiciB13Hahahahaha
Its also an accurate description of 95% of Austria
Just Dörfer - and Wien lol

Your son will cherish the memories, good job mate.
Amazing story!
Ayy big up MTFC!
Ayyyy me to man, I’m all the way out in Australia and although I haven’t had the pleasure to watch them
I hope to one day up the Stags
Amazing! I'm from Mansfield and have had a season ticket ever since I could! Sorry you had to witness such a poor display though 😆 hopefully we'll be better when you next watch us!
this is the face of a man who's realised he's in way too deep
Not deep enough until he's managing the real life club
This was so cool tho!
yeah he is not (yet) the big confident presence arriving at the club, but that is probably just why it works for Z
If you make Wrexham your FM23 save you could probably get into the new Deadpool movie.
He tweeted Wrexham asking if he could attend a game with Ryan Reynolds if he chooses them for his FM23 save.
hahahahahaha
best comment on here
My friend: Why are you watching a random, second league Austrian team's video with some American guy narrating?
Me: Uhhhh, so there is this game...
Underrated comment
I love Floridsdorfer AC for doing this, really a great club runned by nice people! Hope they'll get their promotion this or one of the next years!
Wow. The immersion in these modern FM games is crazy
Beautiful, this club is going to remember you forever
And we will remember them
FAC made this save even more special with all their support and then this trip. Well done to them and I hope they have success in the next few years. How many of us are going to be starting as FAC on FM23? lol

He was knighted support nerd when they invited him 😂
"First time for you in lederhosen?"
Love it.
Oh man that was dope! Cant wait for the influx of international support for them! A stream only save next year perhaps? Or a tutorial one?
Yeah, they’re fun to follow on Twitter. And they’ve been playing well this past season, too.
It is incredible what can happen when you get people passionate about football like Z and combine them with people passionate about their club like Floridsdorfer AC. Absolutely beautiful stuff. How can't you be romantic about Football?
With such facilities you should really be in the 3rd tier of Austria. But well done to Floridsdorfer AC for almost promoting to tier 1. Charming video
You really dorfed. incredible
If I ever make it to Austria, an FAC game is certainly going to be on the to-do list! An amazing experience for Z, the club, and all of us.
Thank you Zealand. you experiencing our football culture like this warms my heart. I feel like ive played on that pitch. Gonna make me enjoy the streams even more now
Loving the IKEA cupboards being used in the locker room 😅
Awesome video and what an awesome club too. If (or when) FAC earns promotion you gotta go back for a Vienna derby
This video was awesome. You did a really great job of keeping it about the content and not about you like a huge majority of other UA-camrs do. Looks like everyone took the whole thing in good humour.
Personnel and footballers are really cool guys, very nice to watch. Great experience for all the parties involved.
Zealand was basically a make a wish kid
You’d never see Kevvy however many times he’s won the showdown being invited to any of the clubs he manages in the game. Well done Zealand and not just for being an American who understands and follows actual Football.

Zee promised us more irl content and i'm quite impressed👏👏👏
Mate. One of the best videos on UA-cam. Love the content. You were amazing as well. Thanks for a great video.
6:51 Yeah I see that a lot too
Finding out that one of the biggest FM UA-camrs manages a small team from my city is crazy. I've been an SK Rapid Wien fan all my life, but this is amazing. Fun fact: Arnautovic started at FAC.
This is the greatest moment in football manager history
6:27 Theres a figure peeking at them from the hallway 🤣
It would be amazing if they made it to the topflight one day and live out the dream for real! Up the Dorfers!
The ultimate dream for any FM player. I can only dream what it would be like to go to an Union Berlin game.
OMG Zealand! This is so cool. I'm so happy for you, brother. Fantastic!
this is a great idea. would love to do something similar. we are just at the podcast, review stage
6:27 it's bayern's chief scout gathering info for their next match
This was clearly an incredible experience that all parties involved will cherish. #upthedorfers
Class vid, shows how magical fm can really be
I love this so much and loved it so much during the save. We all became infatuated with FAC for their great support and we won’t forget them even after the save has ended. It was such a great positive relationship and a win-win for both sides!
Zealand is a FAC Legend
Loved watching this, not only for them giving you an inside look of the day to day life at the club but how it must’ve felt for you seeing it. Incredibly wholesome video
this video is elite just like the dorfers
Do a Brøndby IF career in 2023. They just got new american owners and that has split the fansbase in two. Please bring us back to Europa League or even Champions League. We are a sleeping GIANT. Love your videos!
I really liked the media guy, he seemed very genuine
I wish you shouted DEMAND MORE half way through the first half
Everything just because of Football Manager. That's just incredible 💙
This is prolly a pretty good way for smaller "unknown" clubs to potentially get a lot of new fans and people watching/following them.
This video makes me unreasonably happy.
As I met him there when they played and talked around an hour about everything, I can say he is the nicest and coolest guy I have ever seen from youtube in my entire life
Thank you again for the time we had and the 2 goals we celebrated 🔵⚪️🇦🇹🫶
11:48 oh hey myself 👋
I love how Zealand is both like this is really awesome and I don’t know what on earth I’m doing here at the same time
this is one of my favourite videos
Amazing video
6:27
Hello there!
This was cool. Would have loved this for the Dragons save.
I love this kind of videos! Congrats for the experience!!!
Amazing. They have a new fan 🎉
You know that feeling when you want to like a vid but you already did?
This. Awesome.
What a great experience! Thanks for sharing Zealand.
6:28 someone is peaking into the room!
Mate this is some truly wholesome content 🥰
Really cool. Now i gotta go to Debrecen in Hungary
Hit me up when you are there...I can show you everything lol
Same I need to go to südtirol
I need to go to Farum and visit Nordsjælland-
Zealand, congrats!! You deserve it 💙
So cool, man!
Great vid. Perfect ending too! I'm very excited to see how practice went!
They have a decent little stadium.
I think he's completed football manager ngl
I love this
Who would’ve thought fm would come this far
An absolute dream!
Will forever keep tabs on the dorfers, cheers Z
The talk: "We are expected to win today boys. So dont let the fans down!"
The team: *neutral*
The talk: "The media have given you a lot of praise lately, show them why!"
The team: *Happy and motivated*
This is massive! So pleased for you.
Looks like a great experience. Well done fella!
Its time for me to visit Wurzburger kickers, the team that I brought from 3.Bundesliga in FM16 to Champions League 5x winners by 2025.
Take a third division team in denmark next fm😊 Nice vid
This is awesome content!!!!! Up the Dorfers
That had to have been such an amazing adventure. I’m jealous it would be awesome to just get to see a match let alone all the extra.
Zealand should be their manager for 1 game with the tactics he used on FM.
Amazing video. What a great experience
That underpaid "marketing manager" is doing some great work using youtube to promote the club. Idk why almost all the PR´s from mid-sized and small football clubs are so conservative about such things, UA-camrs and influencers can bring much attention.
I had no idea that Zealand was regular size.
I thought he was 5’ 2
@@kayodobrovevo3864 me too
Are we getting another skin in this years game from yourself??
Beautiful video, congrats
The team talk was amazing Zealand xD
such a wholesome video
#UpTheDorfers
Hahaha love this stuff, cant wait for part 3
Bate, the Dragons, The Dorflers… what is next? Maybe take a Bosnian club - from division 1 or 2, it’s an unreal challenge, it took me 20 years to win the Champions League :)
the beautiful game
that's totally crazy
This is just amazing
This is so cool😎
Should have definitely wore the blond wig, missed a trick there! Glad to see you had a good experience.
Zealand, I can give you a *lot* of tips to make videos like this better just using the equipment you currently have. Let me know if you want the tips.
this is sooooo cool dude
Zealand doing Zicke Zacke… now I can die a happy man :)
Is handshakehug the official greeting now? Nobody tells me these things.
Hey Z and everyone! To think that FAC are currently 4th in the austrian Bundesliga :O (this is a comment from the future ( end of September 2023) )
It's Dorfing Time!!!
