FIFA is taking its love for football to a new frontier with the announcement of ‘FIFA Rivals,’ a mobile game that combines real-time football action with blockchain technology. Developed in collaboration with Mythical Games, this free-to-play title will soon be available on iOS and Android devices.

What Makes ‘FIFA Rivals’ Unique?

‘FIFA Rivals’ offers gamers the chance to build and manage their football clubs while competing in fast-paced, real-time PvP matches. Players can level up their teams, strategize, and face opponents in an arcade-style football experience.

The game introduces a blockchain-based marketplace powered by Mythos technology, where players can trade football stars using real currency. This innovative feature bridges the gap between gaming and digital ownership, making it an exciting proposition for tech-savvy football fans.

FIFA’s Perspective on the New Game

Speaking about the project, FIFA’s Secretary General Mattias Grafström said:
“‘FIFA Rivals’ is a significant step in offering a more immersive and accessible gaming experience for football fans. Partnering with Mythical Games allows us to push boundaries in the gaming and esports industry.”
