Mobile games developer Matchday has launched its newest title, Matchday Champions which is now globally available in early access.
To celebrate, the game is hosting a limited-time in-game tournament called ‘Copa Alexia x Céline’ which features female football star Alexia Putellas and Belgian influencer Celine Dept.
Hosted by Putellas and Dept, players can join the tournament, allowing participants to choose between Team Alexia or Team Celine and compete for prizes.
A new way to experience football
With over 2 million pre-registrations, Matchday Champions will allow players to collect, craft, and manage dream squads featuring both men’s and women’s players.
“I am honoured to be a part of and shape a (virtual) football world that gives men and women truly equal footing,” said Putellas.
“I hope the sort of representation we see in Matchday’s games will inspire the women’s football stars and all football fans of tomorrow and help to drive forward conversations around equality.”
Matchday co-founder and chief gaming officer Sebastien de Halleux added: “Football is an emotional experience for its five billion fans worldwide, and now they will be able to experience the drama of the sport in a video game that can seamlessly simulate games based on real players, real stats, and more.
