OneFootball and Mythical Games have teamed up in a multi-year
partnership that fuses the worlds of global football and next-gen
gaming with the launch of FIFA Rivals, a new arcade-style
mobile game officially licensed by FIFA.
The partnership links OneFootball’s daily engagement with fans
to the interactive world of FIFA Rivals. Players will be
introduced to a new dimension of fandom, where live stats, breaking
news, and player stories directly impact the rhythm of gameplay.
Rivals will be where matchday meets game day, and fandom fuels
play.
Launched globally on iOS and Android, FIFA
Rivals brings a fresh approach to mobile football gaming,
combining stylised arcade mechanics with blockchain-based digital
ownership. Players can collect, trade, and own exclusive in-game
items such as limited-edition kits and collectible boots, many of
which are tied to real-world merchandise drops and campaigns from
OneFootball.
“Together with Mythical, OneFootball will immediately start to
merge our communities and build towards our shared mission of one
openly shared data standard for football fans,” said OneFootball
CEO Patrick Fischer. “We’re truly excited to explore deep product
integration paths with Mythical and are keen to kick this
multi-year partnership off.”
The game will also feature seasonal tournaments, exclusive
promotions for OneFootball users, and special content timed
with FIFA events. Through the Mythical Marketplace, users
will be able to manage their digital assets in a secure blockchain
environment, offering a sense of real-world value and rarity.
“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in
bridging the worlds of interactive entertainment and global
football culture,” said Jung Suh, Chief Business Officer of
Mythical Games. “By integrating real-time authentic content into
gameplay, we're elevating the player experience and creating an
environment where fandom isn’t just experienced — it’s owned,
traded, and actively played.”
The release of FIFA Rivals signals a broader shift in
the intersection of sports media and gaming, positioning
OneFootball and Mythical Games at the forefront of this evolving
digital landscape.
