Matchday debuted its new soccer digital card game Matchday Champions in early access today on iOS and Android.
Today, the game is in early access globally, and it is celebrating with the limited-time “Copa Alexia x Céline,” a unique in-game tournament hosted by Spanish football World Cup Champion Alexia Putellas, and the popular Belgian influencer Celine Dept.
Backed by Lionel Messi’s Play Time fund, Alexia Putellas, and other industry legends in sports and games, Matchday Champions provides a one-of-a-kind experience. The game allows players to collect, craft, and manage their own dream squad made up of both men’s and women’s players.
Sebastien de Halleux, Matchday Chief Gaming Officer, stated in a press briefing that the company aims to target the five billion soccer (or “football”) fans worldwide. Their ambitious goal is supported by the success of their previous ventures, including the sale of their social gaming company Playfish to Electronic Arts for up to $400 million in 2009.
