eFootball 2026 kicked off the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 25 campaign on a strong note, especially with the number of events and rewards lined up for players. Alongside the usual packs, Selection Contracts, and themed challenges in eFootball 2026, there’s one highlight that stands out: the chance to unlock an Epic El-Hadji Diouf for free.
So after all the grind, it instantly raises the question: Is this just a nice nostalgic unlock or a genuinely useful striker option in eFootball 2026? Let’s break it down.
How to unlock Epic El-Hadji Diouf in eFootball 2026
This time, Diouf isn’t tucked inside a pack or a coin offer. Instead, he’s tied to the Tournament Event: CAF Africa Cup of Nations 25, where you need to grind your way through league stages and knockout rounds in an AI-driven tournament format.
All you need to do is join the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 25 tournament. The bracket is two sections: Group Stage and Knockouts. Complete the Group Stage first to unlock Knockout, and then play Round of 16, Semi Finals, and Finals in any difficulty you want and unlock the card.
eFootball 2026 Epic El-Hadji Diouf Review
El-Hadji Diouf
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Goal Poacher
- Show Time Skills: Phenomenal Finishing
At first glance, Diouf might look like one of those cards you pick up casually and forget. Many have already given him a tag of “your regular POTW forward” (which is very wrong) and not worthy of the short grind in the tournament.
But once you look closer, and of course, beyond the numbers, there’s definitely something here. For a free card, the balance between pace, physical, and finishing looks surprisingly strong. All major striker stats push to over 90s.
So, how does he perform in the game? Well, pretty good. He is pacey, he quickly latches on to the ball, and doesn’t fall behind. The finishing is simply good, power on the shots is great, even from weird angles. I tried shooting, and I can say the accuracy is strong.
Dribbling part, yes, he isn’t the best or anywhere close to it, but he doesn’t feel sluggish. I can perform Double Touch without problem, and it doesn’t feel heavy. Physically, the frame is decent, so he can shield the ball and turn.
There’s also the benefit of this version of having the affinity of Liverpool, so you can use him in English League events, which are pretty high in number in both AI and user matches. Overall, a solid free card offering, I suggest not missing out on.
