eFootball 2026 new campaign, packs, and manager arrival
Diwali Campaign
Bringing the festive energy to eFootball is the Diwali Campaign, which used to be a region-specific campaign for the players in India in previous seasons; it is now available for all players around the world.

The event runs for around two weeks and gives us a chance to earn a custom-designed Diwali-themed strip, a new manager with a Link-up feature, and several gifts. There is also a 7-day special login present, earning items like GP, EXP, and special Diwali-themed effects. A special login bonus includes up to 50,000 GP and 20,000 EXP.
The event also includes a special Diwali-themed Goal Effect and a limited-time Profile Banner to personalize player profiles. Adding to the excitement, the campaign features a Sunil Chhetri card for free, alongside his free Avatar.
New Manager: Cesc Fabregas

The update introduces Cesc Fabregas as a new Manager available in the Over-the-Top Pass A style. He will be available for free with the Diwali campaign, and he gets the Possession Game proficiency at an 89 rating. Double boosters are great too, +1 to Lofted Pass and Defensive Engagement.
New Epic pack

New epics are common, where we get a rehash of the older ones, but debuting in the game for the first time is Rio Ferdinand, alongside Wayne Rooney and Darren Fletcher, getting the Red Devil fans excited to test their spins.
