We won't have a football event this year with the World Cup 2026. We decided against it because we have the Treacherous Domain event running, and we were often asked by our players to not activate too many events at the same time.

But what we will do is to activate Spaceball on a daily basis:

The Spaceball will run every day from 26th June to 20th July 19:00-22:00 (LST).
