“When a club member participates in a season match or an open match, the club earns “Club Coins” . Club owners can use club coins to customize their home stadium by changing the theme of the stadium, the turf of the pitch, the appearance of fences and goals, and more. You can change the uniform and club logo in detail, so you can make your club team more unique.”
