New reward card: The Curse of Injuries

The third reward card is out. Play it face-up like a Stadium and curse one of your opponent's players: at the start of each of their turns, that player loses 300 ATK and 300 DEF for good. If the cursed player leaves, the curse moves to their strongest player. Like every reward card, it can only be won, with a 3-win online streak. How reward cards work.

Pelé arrives as a reward card, with a storm

Pelé, the King, is the second reward card. His ATK and DEF are 1000 × the cards in your hand, he needs three substitutions (the only card that does), and he stays for your turn and your opponent's next one. His entrance comes with its own storm: darkness, rain, lightning and thunder before he lands.

Reward cards: cards you have to win

Football Duel now has cards that aren't in the deck builder from the start. Win three online matches in a row and a prize pick opens: find the new card among three shuffled cards to keep it. The first reward card is the Timer, which drains 300 of your opponent's Fan Support every turn.

Game guides for every game

The Al3ab Hub site now has a guide for every game: the complete rules of Football Duel, Chkobba, Rami, Belote coinche and Dream XI, plus Football Duel deck building, every Legend and every Skill explained, the best cards for beginners, and how to beat The Captain. Read the guides.

A new logo for Football Duel

Football Duel has a new crest: a golden ball inside a shield, framed by cards. It's on the home page, in the browser tab, and on the cards you share.

Désiré Doué, Man of the Match

After PSG beat Barcelona 4–2 in the Champions League, with Désiré Doué scoring the opener and setting up another goal, we released a special Man of the Match card: an 8★ Doué with his own artwork. One Doué per deck: the special edition or the regular card.

Stadiums transform the pitch

Playing a Stadium now turns your half of the pitch into that ground, with its mowing pattern, the club's crest painted on the grass and its colours in the stands. Nationality cards plant small flags between your cards.

Four new Legends and illustrated artwork

Xavi, Iniesta, Modrić and Kroos join the Legends, bringing them to 19. Every Legend and both Gold players now have original illustrated artwork. See all Legends.

Chkobba and Rami together

Chkobba and the Tunisian Rami now live side by side at chkobba.al3ab-hub.com, both with the classic card designs. Rami follows Tunisian rules: two decks and four jokers, 14 cards each, and an opening of 71 (or 51).

Watch live and rock-paper-scissors

Every online Football Duel match can now be watched live from the home page. Before each match, rock-paper-scissors decides who kicks off.
