Blockchain-powered mobile soccer game FIFA Rivals will release on June 12 on both iOS and Android, Mythical Games announced Friday, revealing a multi-year licensing agreement with sportswear giant Adidas in the process. The team-up will integrate Adidas products throughout FIFA Rivals, including digital kits, jerseys, and shoe releases that draw from the brand's soccer heritage. Players will have access to exclusive in-game items and experiences designed around Adidas branding. "FIFA Rivals is all about celebrating the global passion for football in a fresh and modern way," said Mythical Games co-founder and CEO John Linden, in a statement. "Bringing Adidas into this world gives players a deeper cultural connection and the chance to represent one of the most iconic brands in football—on and off the pitch. This collaboration sets a new standard for how brands show up in digital experiences."

FIFA Rivals pairs the soccer governing body’s branding with fast-paced, casual-friendly gameplay, letting players build teams using major clubs and stars. They can then compete in real-time matches against other players, and trade digital player cards as NFTs on the Mythical Marketplace. Mythical Games previously launched NFL Rivals, an officially licensed American football game, which similarly features tradable player cards minted as NFTs on Mythos Chain, a network powered by Polkadot tech. In a separate move last month, FIFA announced plans to launch its own Avalanche L1 chain to support its FIFA Collect platform, which lets users purchase and trade digital collectibles based on real-world players and moments.
