eFootball  PES 2020 ushers in a new decade of industry-leading football simulation with a bold promise to revolutionise eFootball and introduce the sport to a global audience. The game features an all-new mode called Matchday that will allow fans to come together for weekly events to compete in the biggest matches and secure victory against their rivals.

Konami announced the return of eFootball.Pro, with the eFootball.Pro Friendly Series that will take place on Saturday, May 9th at 13:00 CEST.

The Friendly Series is an online 1v1 tournament, with one representative from each of the ten clubs participating in eFootball.Pro playing in a single elimination bracket.

• Date: Saturday, May 9th
• Time: 12:00 BST / 13:00 CEST
• Where: official eFootball PES YouTube channel

Fans will be able to experience the excitement of watching eFootball.Pro again with professional players from each team and matchday commentator Harry Channon covering the games. The Friendly Series tournament will be broadcast on the officialPES YouTube channel and followers will also find coverage on the officialPES Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts.

With the eFootball.Pro Regular Season postponed, the Friendly Series tournament gives fans the chance to see if individual gameplay will reflect the current League Table standings, or if players will be able to break out of these rankings and perform differently.
