Football Manager 2008 (also known as Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008 in North America, and Fútbol Manager 2008 in South America) is the principal title of the 2008 edition of the football management simulation game series Football Manager. FM08 is the fourth game in the Football Manager series. It was developed by Sports Interactive, and published by Sega. There are over 5,000 playable teams from more than 50 countries.[2] The demo for Football Manager 2008 was released on 30 September 2007.[3]

The game was originally intended to be released on 19 October 2007, but due to early shipments by many retailers carrying their game, Sports Interactive moved the release date to 18 October 2007.[1]

Football Manager 2008 was the last Football Manager game to be released on the Xbox 360 and the last to be released on an Xbox console for thirteen years, until Football Manager 2021 was released on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on 1 December 2020. FM08 was succeeded by Football Manager 2009.
