Konami Digital Entertainment has today announced the return and first details of the eFootball.League for the 2020/21 season, kicking off from December 7th.
eFootball.League is an esports tournament that welcomes competitors of all skill levels. As with last season, the series is divided into two divisions: eFootball.Pro, the elite competition exclusively for professional football clubs, and eFootball.Open , the amateur tournament open to all players.
In addition to FC Barcelona, Juventus, Arsenal FC, Celtic FC, FC Schalke 04, and AS Monaco, clubs that participated in the last season, KONAMI has revealed that AS Roma will participate for the first time in the 2020/21 season. Other clubs participating in this season will be announced soon.
eFootball.Open - Starting December 7th
