As the eFootball PES franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary since its debut in 1995 and over 100 million copies sold, Konami invites football fans all over the world to join them once again as they head out onto the pitch for a new action-packed season of football and prepare for the future.

Since the earliest days of the eFootball PES series, Konami has championed young and emerging talent playing professional football, both on a local and global stage. Following similar agreements with Marcus Rashford and Alphonso Davies, Konami is proud to announce the signing of a new partnership agreement with Takefusa Kubo.

Comment from Takefusa Kubo: “I am pleased to announce that we have signed a partnership agreement with the eFootball PES series to support me. In the future, I will continue to challenge and grow together with eFootball PES series”.

The Japanese footballer, currently 19 years old, has quickly demonstrated his talent and presents many of the values shared by his fellow footballers partnered with Konami. The company intends to support Kubo, and other exciting young players like him, as his career develops and reaches new heights.

To celebrate the agreement, Konami will be hosting multiple eFootball PES 2021 in-game campaigns, including “Takefusa Kubo Partnership Log-in Campaign” where you can earn his Featured Player, and #VamosTAKE support campaign on social media.

More details will be shared soon via the officialPES social media channels and in-game.
