Some major news from Konami this morning as they have reached a new multi-year agreement with the MLSPA & OneTeam for eFootball. While a lot of the specifics were left out of the details, the overall message is that we're going to be seeing the MLS, in all of its glory, come to the game. Which at the base level is going to be all of the players for every team as well as their respective stadiums. Soon, North American audiences can get in on the game with their favorite teams. Additionally, Konami unveiled the 11 MLSPA players who will join the roster of eFootball ambassadors, which includes: Efraín Álvarez, Eduard Atuesta, Caden Clark, Cade Cowell, Jonathan Dos Santos, Jesús Ferreira, Tony Leone, Josef Martinez, Andrés Perea, Cristian Roldan, and Yeferson Soteldo. We got some quotes and a hype trailer for you down below as we now wait to see if the content will make it into eFootball 2022 before release.
