"Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team Marks 8th Anniversary"

Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team is set to celebrate a major milestone—its eighth anniversary—marking the occasion with an array of exclusive in-game rewards and events. From June 1st onward, players can take advantage of special login bonuses, SSR transfer opportunities, and a brand-new version of Tsubasa Ozora himself, now dressed in the iconic Japan national team jersey.

While global audiences may instantly think of franchises like One Piece or Dragon Ball when it comes to long-standing manga and anime series, Captain Tsubasa holds a legendary status in Japan as a cultural and sporting phenomenon. Its mobile adaptation, Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team, continues this legacy, thriving as a popular gacha game that has outlasted many of its contemporaries.

This anniversary celebration features a generous lineup of events designed to reward both returning and active players. The “8th Anniversary: Big Thanks Present” event runs from June 1st through July 31st, offering a fresh SSR version of fan-favorite Taro Misaki. Throughout June, players can also enjoy guaranteed SSR character draws, new player incentives, and comeback bonuses for those rejoining after a hiatus.

Even if competitive play isn't your style, there’s still plenty to get excited about. The upcoming Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team Championship will showcase top-tier players battling it out, though you can also opt to watch the action unfold from the sidelines.

Whether you're a longtime supporter or a returning player curious about what's new, the eighth anniversary is the perfect time to dive back into Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team.
