Overview is the front page of your club: four numbers that tell you how it is doing, and the identity settings that decide how it looks everywhere else on the platform.

At a glance

The four vital signs

What each number means

  • Squad SizeOptional
    How many players you currently own.
  • Squad ValueOptional
    The combined value of those players, in LONIDA. It moves as players develop and as you trade.
  • Active CompetitionsOptional
    Leagues, cups and tournaments your club is currently entered in.
  • Pending Transfer & Loan RequestsOptional
    Offers from other clubs waiting on your decision. This is the only one of the four that is a to-do list.

Watch the pending count

The other three are information. A non-zero Pending number means another manager has made you an offer and cannot move until you answer. Deals go cold while they sit unanswered.

Identity

Club identity

Below the stats are the details that define your club visually and publicly: its name, founded year, motto, location, colours, badge and banner, plus your trophy cabinet in gold, silver and bronze.

What you can edit

  • MottoOptional
    A short line of club identity. There is a maximum length, and it shows on your public club page.
  • Primary colourOptional
    A hex code such as #1a2b3c. Used for your club badge across the platform.
  • Secondary colourOptional
    The companion colour, also a hex code. Used where the primary would be unreadable.
  • LocationOptional
    City and country. Can only be set once — see the warning below.
  • Badge and bannerOptional
    Upload your own images, or generate them with AI from your club colours.

Club location is permanent, and tied to your profile

Two rules catch people out here. First, your club's location cannot be changed once it is set — like your username, you get one attempt. Second, the country you choose must match the country on your own profile. If they disagree, the save is refused. Set your profile country correctly first, then set your club location.

Design

Colours matter more than they look

Your primary and secondary colours are not decorative. They colour your club badge wherever it appears — next to your posts, in the community, on your public profile and in fixture listings. They are also fed into AI image generation, so a club with proper colours gets a badge, banner and avatar that all belong to the same identity.

If your badge looks plain

A club with no colours set falls back to a default. If your badge looks generic next to everyone else's, it almost always means you have never set a primary and secondary colour.

FAQ

Common questions

Why was my club location rejected?+
Either it was already set — in which case it is permanent — or the country did not match the country on your profile. Both are deliberate rules, not errors.
Can I rename my club?+
Your club name is your club's identity across leagues, fixtures and history, and the Overview tab is where identity details other than the name are managed. The motto, colours and imagery are the parts designed to be changed.
My squad value dropped without me selling anyone.+
Squad value reflects your current players' values, which change as they develop or decline, and as loans move players in and out of your squad.
Who can edit these details?+
Club identity is managed from the owner's club page. Team members work on the club according to their role — see the team roles guide for what each role may do.
