Football.Fun Opens Tournament Access

Football.Fun (FDF) has opened the qualifying phase for its second Founders Pack sale, introducing a new system where access depends on tournament performance rather than direct purchase. The first batch of new player cards, known as Founders Pack 2.1, will be available from September 24 and will mark the beginning of a broader release plan for sixty new players divided into three separate drops.

To secure access to Founders Pack 2.1, players are required to participate in two qualifying tournaments held from September 16 to 19 and from September 19 to 23. Tournament Points (TP) earned during these events will serve as the foundation for determining allocations. However, success is not measured by TP alone. Efficiency of performance and an updated loyalty system are also factored into the ranking, creating a more comprehensive assessment of player activity.

Football.Fun has updated its loyalty scoring model to reflect a broader range of platform engagement. This includes tournament performance, trading history, pack openings, and overall activity since the launch of the Pro version. Unlike earlier structures, trading or selling players no longer reduces loyalty scores.

Efficiency also matters, as the system evaluates how effectively players accumulate TP in relation to their spending of in-game currency. To balance rewards, ten percent of the Founders Pack 2 supply has been reserved for free distribution to top-performing players and long-term participants, with limits in place to avoid disproportionate allocations to high-value squads.

Dual-Currency to TP-Only Economy

A significant change is scheduled for September 23, when Football.Fun will move from a dual-currency system to a TP-only structure. Until that date, players still have the option to spend Skill Points (SP) and promote their squads. Any remaining SP after the deadline will be automatically converted into TP at equal value. To support this transition, the platform is issuing a one-time bonus airdrop equal to ten percent of the total SP a player has earned to date. Players who release squad members during the qualifying tournaments will also receive an enhanced TP return of seventy percent, compared to the standard sixty percent.

Following the transition, TP will become the sole in-game currency for unlocking new player cards, removing the need for SP promotions. Tournament rewards will increase, and pack prices will adjust accordingly to maintain economic balance. Converted TP will not be credited immediately but instead released gradually through future tournaments, ensuring stability in the new system.

Founders Pack 2 Allocations and Key Dates

In addition to tournament-based qualifications, Football.Fun is distributing a loyalty drop that accounts for ten percent of Founders Pack 2 allocations. This drop is based on historical player engagement, including tournament results, pack activity, and squad development. A cap has been introduced to prevent dominant allocations for high-spending accounts and to ensure more equitable distribution across the player base.

The referral program is also being reintroduced on September 23 after revisions to address earlier issues of misuse. Retroactive rewards will be credited to users who referred new participants starting from August 24, with Gold earnings distributed in the days following the update. A new in-app claiming feature for referral rewards is scheduled to arrive in the coming month, further integrating the system into the platform.

The two qualifying tournaments for Founders Pack 2.1 take place from September 16 to 19 and from September 19 to 23. September 23 marks the final day to use SP and promote squad members before the TP-only system is introduced, as well as the launch date of the new in-game economy. Founders Pack 2.1 will go on sale from September 24, followed by the official player reveal on September 26. The subsequent rounds of Founders Pack 2, identified as 2.2 and 2.3, are expected to be released in late September and early October.

Final Thoughts

The first Founders Pack sale last month attracted more than 10,000 participants, according to Football.Fun founder Adam McEntee. Demand significantly outpaced supply, leading to part of the allocation being held back for future rounds to provide opportunities for new entrants. The second sale retains the same format and pricing but introduces a competitive qualification model that places greater emphasis on gameplay.

Long-time participants benefit from loyalty rewards, while new users are given a pathway to secure allocations through live competition. With the upcoming transition to a TP-only system and the launch of Founders Pack 2.1, Football.Fun is entering a period of significant change that will shape how players interact with both tournaments and rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I qualify for Founders Pack 2.1?

Players qualify for Founders Pack 2.1 by participating in two tournaments scheduled from September 16–19 and September 19–23. Tournament Points (TP) earned during these events form the basis for allocation, while efficiency in earning points and loyalty scores also influence ranking.

What is the loyalty score and how does it affect rewards?

The loyalty score reflects a player’s activity history on Football.Fun, including tournament results, trading, pack openings, and squad management. Higher loyalty scores can improve a player’s allocation chances for Founders Pack 2.1 and other loyalty-based drops. Trading or selling players does not reduce the loyalty score.

What is the new TP-only system?

On September 23, Football.Fun will switch to a single-currency system where Tournament Points (TP) replace Skill Points (SP) as the sole in-game currency. TP will be used to unlock new player cards, and converted SP will be gradually distributed to ensure economic stability.

Are there rewards for top performers or loyal players?

Yes. Ten percent of Founders Pack 2 allocations are reserved for top-performing players in the qualifying tournaments and long-term participants. Caps are applied to limit allocations to high-value accounts and ensure fair distribution.

Will there be a referral program?

Football.Fun is reintroducing a referral program on September 23. Retroactive rewards will be credited to users who referred new players since August 24, with Gold earnings delivered shortly afterward. The system will also include an in-app claiming feature in the near future.

When will Founders Pack 2.1 be available?

Founders Pack 2.1 will go on sale on September 24, with the player reveal scheduled for September 26. The remaining packs in Founders Pack 2, rounds 2.2 and 2.3, will be released in late September and early October.

How does efficiency in tournaments affect access?

Efficiency is calculated based on how effectively players earn TP relative to the amount of Gold they spend. Higher efficiency can improve rankings and allocation chances, even if total TP is similar among players.

Can new players participate in Founders Pack 2.1?

Yes. The tournament-based qualification system allows new users to compete alongside long-time players. Loyalty rewards remain available for existing users, but new players are not excluded from earning access through tournament performance.

Will the price of packs change after the TP-only system is implemented?

Pack prices will adjust when the TP-only economy goes live to maintain balance and ensure that player value remains stable. Tournament TP rewards will also increase in line with the new system.
