eFootball Mobile 9th anniversary brings Drogba chance deals, free Show Time picks

The smartest first move in eFootball Mobile’s 9th anniversary is simple: log in, push the Campaign Hub to 45 spaces, and take the free Show Time contract before spending a single coin. KONAMI’s celebration has turned the anniversary into a real roster-building window, with up to 18 Chance Deals for Epic: Didier Drogba and a direct pick from four Show Time players instead of a blind pull.

The campaign ran from May 14, 2026, 02:00 UTC to June 4, 2026, 01:59 UTC, and the reward stack is loaded with actual squad value. The Campaign Hub alone listed 1 Show Time: Worldwide Selection Contract, 6 Epic: Didier Drogba Chance Deals, 1 Advanced Skill Token, 1 Random Booster Token, 2 Position Tokens, 2 Random Skill Tokens, 100 eFootball Coins, 72,000 EXP, and 105,000 GP. For free-to-play players, that mix matters more than a single flashy card because it feeds both roster upgrades and development at the same time.

The headline prize is the Show Time: Worldwide Selection Contract, earned by advancing 45 spaces in the Campaign Hub. That contract lets players choose one of four Show Time footballers: Joshua Kimmich, Nico O’Reilly, Matthijs de Ligt, or Ferdi Kadıoğlu. KONAMI also added a new Show Time skill, Shadow Hunt, which gives a speed-related boost when defenders track an opponent making a run behind them. That makes the anniversary unusually useful for players looking to strengthen defensive and transition-heavy squads without gambling on random pulls.

The practical priority order is clear. Claim login rewards every day, clear the Campaign Hub for the guaranteed contract and the six Drogba Chance Deals, then work through weekly objectives and special events such as European Club Champions and Team Effort to keep the free stack moving. If you are spending, the safer route is to wait until the free rewards are secured, because this campaign is built around certainty, not just luck.

KONAMI has been using the anniversary as a bigger retention beat for a while. Last year’s 8th anniversary ran from May 8 to May 29, 2025 and offered up to 160 eFootball Coins, Chance Deals, GP, training items, and a Special Selection Contract, so this year’s setup continues that shift toward heavier, more useful reward tracks. It also lands alongside the eFootball Championship 2026 World Finals in Bangkok, Thailand on Sunday, July 26, 2026, with the finals set to be livestreamed worldwide.

With eFootball now past 950 million cumulative downloads worldwide, KONAMI is treating the 9th anniversary as more than a login stunt. It is a chance to turn free progression into a real roster upgrade, and the players who clear the Hub first will get the best of it.
