Additionally, the game teamed up with Brazilian legend Pele for the Pele Cup, which started January 20. The winner of the cup will have the chance to win a signed shirt and the Kickoff Set for free. The winner of the Pele Cup can also win the Air Punch Emote, inspired by Pele’s trademark celebration, which will also go on sale on January 23.
Outside of the Pele Cup, players can also create and play their own football tournaments.
