Konami has announced that Lamine Yamal, one of the most exciting talents in the world of football, has officially joined the eFootball roster as brand ambassador.
Yamal's new role will see him collaborate with Konami to bring fans closer to the beautiful game through exclusive in-game content, promotions, and more. At just 17 years old, the Barcelona and Spain national team star has already made history as one of the most exciting young talents in football, something Konami says "aligns perfectly with eFootball’s mission to deliver an authentic and immersive football experience to players worldwide."
To celebrate this exciting partnership, Konami has released a special trailer showcasing Yamal’s journey so far, as well as his own thoughts on becoming an ambassador for eFootball. Featuring a Q&A session where the youngster opens up about his hobbies, favorite players, and films, the trailer also contains valuable comments from football legend Neymar about Yamal’s incredible potential.
That's not all, however. The partnership also marks another step in Konami's commitment to enhancing the eFootball experience by adding football's biggest and brightest stars to the game.
As a result, fans can look forward to upcoming updates featuring Yamal and other exciting collaborations. With Yamal’s inclusion, eFootball is introducing new in-game content, including exclusive players with the brand-new "Acceleration Burst" skill, allowing for precise speed control while dribbling.
New and available players with the Acceleration Burst skill include:
- Epic: Lamine Yamal
