eFootball is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and Konami has rolled out some really cool updates with it for you to check out. The coolest of all would be that Mark Van Bommel is being added to the game for you to add to your squad and play with. The official eFootball handle has already announced this on X, and it seems to be an exciting addition to the game.
Mark Van Bommel — Early Card Information
From what can be seen in the video posted on X by Konami themselves, the card is 99-rated. While we are not too sure about the specific stats of the card, we can make an educated guess. The overall rating is quite high, so the stats are going to be special as well. Whether it comes to shooting, defending, physicality, passing, dribbling, or speed, they are all going to be beefed up quite a bit.

These beefed-up stats of Mark’s card are going to make him a versatile option for midfield setups. Making him an important player in any team that he plays in. Apart from his card and his exceptional stats, this release marks the beginning of what seems to be a legacy that will run for the foreseeable future.
Mark Van Bommel’s Legacy
His name might not be known as much as your common icons, such as Ronaldinho or Beckham, but his name is respected amongst true football fans. Known for his tactical intelligence and cult status, Van Bommel’s arrival in eFootball represents Konami’s stride to diversify its roster. So far, they’ve done a great job by adding unique, memorable players, something different from the global superstars we all love and know.
Avid players of eFootball are familiar with how the game works, but for anyone new, we’ll save you the hassle by explaining a bit. It operates a card-based system where players collect and upgrade footballers. The cards determine stats, playstyles, and rarity. This means that Van Bommel’s debut is not just a cosmetic addition, but a new way to experiment with team chemistry. But speaking of cosmetic additions, eFootball did team up with Yu-Gi-Oh! recently for a special collaboration.
