A New Way to Play the Beautiful Game - You’re building a great collection. Put it to work with games and challenges that can earn you incredible, exclusive rewards.

Collection Rewards (October 20th) - First up, we’re announcing a special rewards program for the “gotta have it all” fans and our earliest collectors. Check out the Collections page, located under My Collection, to see how many digital collectibles you’ve scored from the Genesis and Archives Collections. Each time you complete a rarity tier, you’ll earn fun rewards that will help you advance your collection or further your fandom (like the newest packs!). The more tiers you complete, the more you earn; the higher the rarity, the bigger the rewards. Collect all you can before the first match kicks off at World Cup Qatar 2022TM to be eligible for rewards, so complete your collections while you can and while these drops last. Cumulative rewards will get delivered by the final match.

Curator Challenges (mid-November) - Think your collection is the best? Prove it and earn valuable prizes when you compete in and complete themed challenges. Take on other fans and rise the ranks of the leaderboard to win. Each challenge will have specific requirements for completion based on a given theme. You’ll want to put up your most valuable digital collectibles because you’ll also earn points based on quality and rarity. Later this year, the most competitive fans can compete in Prestige Challenges (December). These are similar to Curator Challenges but are timed and will offer even greater rewards. Stay tuned for more details!
