Potrero is a football mini-game played inside an Argentine live-scores app. Its best-known mode, El Ídolo, puts you in the boots of a kid who starts in the second division and climbs match by match until he becomes a legend. The idea got so popular that searches for potrero juego and potrero futbol grew more than 190% in the last few weeks.

Is FutPro the same game as Potrero?

No. FutPro is an independent, fan-made project with no connection to Potrero or its app. They share the same genre — the fantasy of taking a footballer from nothing to glory — but they are different games: different mechanics, different modes and a different platform.

Can I play FutPro without installing an app?

Yes. FutPro runs straight in the browser of your phone, tablet or computer: head to futpro.org/en/jugar/ and you're in. If you want the app experience, you can install it as a PWA from your browser menu (Add to Home Screen) — no stores, no APK.

What does FutPro have that El Ídolo de Potrero doesn't?

Three main things: a bigger world (39 leagues in 37 countries, national-team call-ups and World Cups), more decisions (an attribute and perk draft among 150 legends, 11 positions and season-by-season training) and an ending with a prize: when you retire you receive one of the press's 7 verdicts, from Promesa Inconclusa to El Fenómeno, with a card to share.
