In its latest announcement, Konami officially announced that it has extended its partnership agreement with renowned Premier League football club Arsenal for the eFootball game.
This move demonstrates their commitment to providing an increasingly authentic gaming experience and bringing fans closer to their favorite clubs.
This expanded partnership not only ensures that Arsenal’s official license remains available in every game update, but also opens up opportunities for fans to enjoy richer and more innovative interactive content.
With a bold and innovative approach, Konami strives to maintain its leading position in soccer games.

This extension will run from August 7 to August 13, 2025. During this period, players can obtain Martin Ødegaard Highlight and Avatar cards for free.
In addition, this event is also a celebration of the team captain, who currently serves as the club’s official ambassador. In the game, Arsenal will continue to appear as the core club, complete with official kits and the Emirates Stadium.
This new agreement also gives Konami broader commercial access, ranging from player promotions to the use of official club brands and images in eFootball.
According to Shinji Namekawa, President of Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. Europe, this partnership is proof of the commitment to continue developing the quality of eFootball. This long-term relationship is a manifestation of a shared vision of innovation and quality experience.
Since 2022, Arsenal has been a regular participant in the eFootball Championship, providing fans with a variety of exclusive experiences, both in-game and in the real world.
With the contract extension, it seems that Gunners fans can rest assured that Emirates Stadium will continue to be their “digital home” for a long time to come.
With these regular updates, eFootball is able to save on development costs. Konami can also focus more on improving and updating its games in the future without having to continue spending production funds on purchasing numerous licenses every year.
This is different from its competitors. Konami chose to create eFootball with a focus on regular updates rather than having to create a new game as usual in series such as Winning Eleven or Pro Evolution Soccer, which has now been renamed eFootball.
