Real-World Celebrations Coming Soon!

Konami will host the inaugural eFootball World Festival on July 21st, 2025 at Belle Salle Shibuya Garden in Tokyo. This free event for fans will feature 30th Anniversary Live Stage presentations with exclusive content reveals and licensing updates.

The festival will also crown the eFootball Championship 2025 World Champion, bringing together elite competitors like AC Milan's Ettorito97 and Inter Milan's N_Apriamashvili. The tournament will be streamed globally in nine languages.
