Five Futsal-Themed Pokemon Promos Coming to England!
Update: Added an image of “Pikachu on the Ball” below thanks to our friend @PatChampYouTube! The other three cards are Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble “On the Ball.” Their images haven’t been revealed yet.
Pokemon fans in England will have the opportunity to collect five futsal-themed promo cards! Futsal is a sport similar to soccer, but played indoors.
Starting September 11th, you’ll receive an “Eevee on the Ball” promo card if you spend £15 on Pokemon TCG products at GAME stores or their online shop. Three other promo cards will be released at GAME in subsequent weeks — they are Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble “On the Ball.”
You can also get a fifth Pikachu promo if you enroll your futsal club in the Pokemon Youth Futsal Programme. The Pikachu promo will not be available at GAME stores.
This five-card set is special because it’s exclusive to England. We won’t get it in America or Japan! It’s incredibly rare for a country outside of Japan and the U.S. to receive their own promo set.
Last year TPCi partnered with the England Football Association to promote Youth Futsal. It’s part of TPCi’s initiative to promote youth in sports. (Note that “soccer” is named “football” in the United Kingdom and countries outside of the United States.)
BASINGSTOKE, UK – 10th September 2020 – GAME proudly confirms today that from 11th September 2020 it will be launching four special Pokémon England Futsal trading cards along with free Futsal themed promo card holders. The first card will be a special Eevee England Futsal card launching exclusively online and at GAME stores. Fans across the country can head online or to their local GAME store on the 11th September throughout England – subject to availability and whilst stocks last of course!
Four exclusive cards will be coming exclusively to GAME, but standing a chance of getting your hands on a fifth special card couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is register your Club for The FA Pokémon Youth Futsal Programme and you’ll be in with the chance to receive the Pikachu England Futsal Promo Card.
