OneFootball and Mythical Games are working together on a new mobile game that connects football fans to real-time match moments. Their partnership introduces FIFA Rivals, a fast-paced arcade-style football game tied directly to real-world events.
Good to know
Football fans can now play a game that mirrors real-life action, thanks to the new collaboration between OneFootball and Mythical Games. Their new mobile release, FIFA Rivals, blends traditional football fandom with blockchain-powered arcade gameplay.
The game takes a different approach to mobile football. Players interact with current stats, news, and stories pulled from live matches, all of which affect gameplay dynamics. According to OneFootball, it turns “matchday into game day,” by allowing fans to experience football in a more interactive way.
Along with the arcade-style mechanics, FIFA Rivals introduces blockchain-backed digital collectibles. Through the Mythical Marketplace, players can collect, own, and trade limited-edition digital assets such as boots and kits, some of which link to real-world merchandise.
The game will include seasonal tournaments, OneFootball-exclusive content, and special events aligned with FIFA’s global calendar. This setup aims to give users a consistent flow of updates and promotions while tying in real-life events.
Patrick Fischer, CEO of OneFootball, shared his vision for the partnership:
“Together with Mythical, OneFootball will immediately start to merge our communities and build towards our shared mission of one openly shared data standard for football fans.”
Jung Suh, Chief Business Officer at Mythical Games, added:
“By integrating real-time authentic content into gameplay, we’re elevating the player experience and creating an environment where fandom isn’t just experienced — it’s owned, traded, and actively played.”
FIFA Rivals marks another shift in how sports and gaming are being merged. Instead of simply following teams, fans can now play a game that evolves as the football world does.
