Following the success of a major collaboration, leading football simulation game eFootball has announced the second volume of its partnership with the acclaimed manga series Captain Tsubasa. This new installment introduces a variety of themed rewards inspired by the iconic sports manga for players to earn.

As mentioned in earlier coverage, Captain Tsubasa is a long-running multimedia franchise that originated as a manga by Yoichi Takahashi. The series follows protagonist Tsubasa Oozora on his journey from aspiring young footballer to international professional star.

This latest update enhances the collaboration with new log-in bonuses featuring special edition cards illustrated by Takahashi, showcasing football stars like Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi. Players can also obtain unique crossover cards that pair characters from the manga with legendary real-world players, including Michel Platini with Elle Sid Pierre and Diego Forlán with Ramon Victorino.

It's no exaggeration to say that Captain Tsubasa stands alongside Western-recognized manga giants like Dragon Ball and One Piece as an industry icon. The series arguably pioneered the modern sports manga genre that inspired later hits like Blue Lock, which has also collaborated multiple times with mobile games. Even those unfamiliar with Captain Tsubasa can appreciate its influential legacy.

Alongside the collaboration, eFootball has opened qualifiers for the eFootball Championship 2025 Open. The first qualifying round continues until February 6th, with successful players earning the opportunity to compete for the World Champion title in the Open tournament.
