eFootball World Festival 2026 offisielt annonsert i Bangkok

KONAMI has officially confirmed that the eFootball World Festival 2026 will take place in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 26, 2026. Following last year’s large-scale 30th Anniversary celebration in Tokyo, the global event is returning for its second edition, once again bringing together top esports players and football gaming fans from around the world.

World Finals Return as the Main Attraction

The event will be hosted at Siam Paragon in Bangkok, with activities spread across:

• Parc Paragon (M Floor)
• Paragon Hall (5th Floor)

Entry to the festival will be completely free. However, KONAMI has confirmed that visitors who want to attend the eFootball Championship 2026 World Finals live at the venue may need to apply in advance.

The World Finals are expected to remain the centerpiece of the festival, featuring the best eFootball players competing on stage for the world championship title. Matches will also be broadcast globally for fans watching online.

More Activities and Interactive Experiences Planned

According to KONAMI, this year’s festival will include even more attractions and interactive experiences compared to the previous edition.

While the full activity lineup has not yet been revealed, the company has already teased:

• Hands-on gaming experiences
• Interactive football-themed activities
• Special live event programs

More details about the event schedule and festival attractions are expected closer to launch.

Following the Success of Tokyo 2025

Last year’s eFootball World Festival in Tokyo became one of the franchise’s largest celebrations, marking the series’ 30th anniversary.

Alongside the World Finals, visitors had access to:

• Match zones
• Football skill challenges
• Photo booths
• Merchandise giveaways
• Live stage shows
• Special in-game rewards

Players also received bonus content such as:

• Big Time Chance Deals
• Selection Contracts

The success of the Tokyo event significantly raised expectations for the 2026 edition in Bangkok.

Potential Announcements Expected During the Event

Although the festival is not directly connected to the ongoing mobile 9th Anniversary campaign, many fans are already expecting major reveals and announcements during the Bangkok event.

With eFootball 2026 currently focusing heavily on anniversary celebrations, collaborations, and new content updates, the World Festival could become an important stage for future announcements related to the franchise.

Registration Details Coming Soon

Players planning to attend the event in person will be able to find registration details and future updates through the official eFootball World Festival 2026 website.

KONAMI has also confirmed that additional application information is expected to appear through an in-game notice sometime in June 2026.
