Football Festival Campaign brings free Messi, Yamal, and Coins
The Football Festival Campaign begins on June 4, 2026, and will run as the first major international football celebration inside eFootball 2026.
As part of the login rewards, you can get Show Time Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal cards for free. KONAMI also confirmed that by completing campaign conditions, you can sign up to 10 Highlight players from the Argentina and Spain national teams.
The new Campaign Hub is focused on national teams and flag collection.

KONAMI also confirmed that you can earn up to 310 eFootball Coins through the campaign hub progression system.
World Cup-style tournament event arrives
A new football festival-themed event is also arriving, titled International Cup 2026. You can pick your favourite national team, progress through group stages and knockout rounds, and attempt to win the tournament. KONAMI says the mode is inspired by the atmosphere and structure of real international football competitions.
From June 13, 2026, onwards, “Players of the Day” cards will also begin appearing daily. Footballers who perform well in real-life matches in the World Cup will receive special cards the next day, and daily Challenge Events will reward Chance Deals for these player lists.
