Legends Announced For eFootball 30th Anniversary

eFootball has taken the initiative to reward its loyal players by granting free tries on the pack of returning legends. Konami has issued a total of 20 free tries on a pack that is set to roll out on 10th July 2025. This pack will consist of 12 big-time legendary cards that were released in previous seasons.

Konami has been announcing the returning legends for the last two weeks.

Last week saw the return of two more Manchester United legends - Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Diego Forlan. This week, eFootball announced the return of two former Real Madrid legends, Roberto Carlos and Raul. The game will announce the remaining legends in the upcoming weekly updates.

eFootball’s 30th Anniversary Legends Stats

This update saw the return of two former Real Madrid greats. The first of the two legendary cards is of the Brazilian full-back Roberto Carlos. The big-time card is from the 2002 season, when the player was in his prime with the Galacticos. Users can extract the most out of this card while playing him as a left-back or left midfielder.

The second of the two legendary cards is of Spanish striker Raul. This card comes as a goal-poacher center forward and is expected to attract the attention of the fans of Los Blancos. The card can be trained to play even at the wings. Although these old big-time cards lack booster abilities like the new eFootball cards, they used to be the game changers back in the day. Many users who bought these cards during the previous seasons reviewed them to be still good enough to be included in the dream squad of 2025.

On July 5, 2025, two more iconic player cards were announced by eFootball's official X account. The two players are Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard. Both cards have been given the rating of 97 and the cards are from the 2005 season.

Makelele is expected to get a good boost and high defensive stats, making his card a premium choice. For eFootball users who want to make their defense strong, Makelele's addition to the team is a must.

The other released card is of Chelsea's one of the most iconic players, Frank Lampard. The former English football star is known for his exceptional skill of scoring midfield goals. His card is expected to possess upgraded stats of dribbling, shooting, and more. Adding him to your team will create a perfect balance in attack and defense.

Note: The 30th Anniversary event will continue until July 31, 2025, so players should not miss the golden chance to collect all released iconic cards. You just have to log in daily, compete in events and claim these cards through chance deals.
