Comment from Andrés Iniesta

“CAPTAIN TSUBASA -RIVALS-" is a blockchain game where players can train players from the original "Captain Tsubasa" manga and compete against other players. The game offers two game modes: "RIVAL Mode" which fully recreates the original story, and "PvP Mode" where players and supporting characters can compete against each other online.

Captain Tsubasa has been my inspiration since childhood and there is no doubt that it was Tsubasa who brought me to Japan, where I currently play soccer at.

I respect the team's challenge towards turning this into a blockchain game and am excited to become an ambassador and be a part of spreading the word.

Looking forward to enjoy this game together with all Captain Tsubasa, soccer, and blockchain game fans from all around the world.
