Exclusive limited-time events, special cards, and football-themed campaigns are coming to Yu-Gi-Oh! and eFootball games this fall
KONAMI has officially revealed a special collaboration between the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game × eFootball™, bringing two iconic worlds together in a way fans have never seen before. This ambitious partnership introduces limited-time campaigns and crossover events across eFootball™ series titles, Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL, Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS, and even the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME.
An Unprecedented Crossover of Football and Dueling
A new collaboration trailer features global football superstar Neymar Jr., fully dressed in themed collaboration gear, highlighting the fusion of the football pitch with the Duelist’s arena. This crossover is designed to reward players with exclusive content while celebrating Yu-Gi-Oh!’s unique brand of strategy and spectacle alongside eFootball’s global sports appeal.
Exclusive Rewards in eFootball™ Campaigns
Players jumping into eFootball™ and eFootball™ CHAMPION SQUADS during the collaboration window will unlock exclusive crossover cards. These include special versions of fan-favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters paired with five French national team stars. Expect powerful cards featuring legendary duel monsters such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and more, each connected to football’s biggest names.
By completing event objectives, players can collect all available rewards, adding a unique Dueling flair to their football experience.
Neymar Jr. and Special Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Content
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game × eFootball collaboration isn’t limited to digital games. KONAMI has also announced a special update to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME beginning September 27, 2025. Fans can look forward to:

A Global Celebration for Fans
From Neymar Jr.’s iconic crossover debut to the introduction of football-flavored duel campaigns, KONAMI’s latest project reflects its ongoing push to blend global culture with its most enduring franchises. This collaboration connects Yu-Gi-Oh!’s community-driven dueling passion with the universal reach of football, promising a crossover with both cultural depth and collectible rewards.
Fans can now follow their favorite Duel Monsters into brand-new arenas — from the digital football fields of eFootball™ to the fantastical dueling stages of Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL and DUEL LINKS.
