Understanding the Tournament Format
To access the event, enter the Festival of Football 2 Showdown mode in the Play section.
The event provides:
· 14 entries
· Four matches per entry
· All four matches must be completed before redeeming another entry
Unlike previous versions of this mode, players currently do not appear to be required to change their squads between matches. Whether this is intentional or a temporary issue remains unclear, but at present, you can use your preferred team throughout the event.
Importantly, the tournament is not knockout-based. Losing a match does not eliminate you. You simply play all four games in an entry before starting another one.
Main Objective Rewards
The primary objective group contains ten objectives, but only eight need to be completed to earn the group reward of Kai Havertz.
Some of the most valuable objectives include:
· Score one goal for 20 tokens.
· Score in four different matches for 30 tokens.

Since only eight objectives are required, players can prioritize the easier challenges while still obtaining the group reward and multiple premium packs.
