Mobile Division Winner: Rentao(@Renato_bg98) (Brazil)
PR TIMESI am happy beyond words to have won the championship I had been dreaming of for a long time.
I started playing "eFootball" in 2022, and initially, I thought winning the championship would be impossible.
But I practiced a lot, and the number of trophies I earned increased—one, two, three—and in the end, I am very satisfied to have become the World Champion today.

Console Division Winner: Mayageka(@mayageka1993) (Japan)
PR TIMESMy performance in the Group Stage was not good, so I went into the Knockout Stage (Semi-Finals and Finals) after thoroughly reviewing my matches.
Thanks to that, I was able to win convincingly in the semi-finals, and I believe I carried that momentum into the final match, allowing me to perform well.
It took a very long time to win, and because I struggled so much, I am incredibly happy—I have no words to describe it.
