Konami Announces UEFA Euro 2020 License For PES 2020
Konami this morning announced an exclusive partnership with UEFA that will see Euro 2020 added to the game in the form of a DLC next year.
As UEFA celebrates the 60th anniversary of the first edition of the Euro, the 2020 tournament will see 24 teams battle it out across Europe for the first time ever. Matches will be played in 12 countries, with the semi-finals and final to be played in Wembley.
The PES Euro 2020 DLC, which is "planned for release in spring 2020", will bring "every national teams’ kits, official balls and the hosting stadium that will also be faithfully recreated in the game." This sounds like we'll get all 24 teams and most if not all 12 stadiums in the game - it has to be noted, however, that the Euro 2016 DLC, released for PES 2016, did not include any stadiums outside of the Stade de France.
To top things off UEFA's brand-new eSports tournament, the "UEFA eEURO 2020" will be played on eFootball PES 2020. More details on that are set to follow.
Are you happy to see Euro 2020 in PES, or would you have preferred to see EA Sports and FIFA snap up this license? Drop us a line below.
Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
