Following a major collaboration, the renowned sports simulator eFootball has unveiled volume two of its partnership with the beloved manga series, Captain Tsubasa. This exciting new volume introduces an array of themed rewards for players to unlock, all inspired by the iconic sports manga!
As we've previously detailed, Captain Tsubasa is a cherished multimedia franchise that began as a manga by Yoichi Takahashi. It follows the journey of Tsubasa Oozora from an amateur footballer to a world-class professional.
The latest update enriches the collaboration with new log-in bonuses, including special edition cards illustrated by Takahashi. These cards feature top football personalities like Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi. Additionally, players can obtain crossover cards that blend characters from the series with legendary real-life players, such as Michel Platini paired with Elle Sid Pierre or Diego Forlán alongside Ramon Victorino.
**Footballing beyond**
It's no exaggeration to say that Captain Tsubasa stands as an icon of manga, alongside other well-known series in the West like Dragon Ball and One Piece. The manga arguably sparked the modern fascination with sports series, paving the way for titles like Blue Lock, which has itself collaborated multiple times on mobile platforms. Even those unfamiliar with the series can appreciate its legacy and influence.
But the excitement doesn't stop with the collaboration. eFootball has also kicked off in-game qualifiers for the eFootball Championship 2025 Open. Round one is set to run until February 6th, offering participants a chance to advance and compete for the title of World Champion.
