Cristiano Ronaldo backs new free-to-play FIFA challenger UFL

THE FIFA series is looking at its first serious challenger for a while with free-to-play UFL, and Cristiano Ronaldo is backing it.

We got our first look at UFL gameplay this week which is touting itself as being ‘fair to play’.

Ronaldo made a cameo during the 20-minute announcement, which is a pretty big deal given the state of the FIFA franchise right now.

The football star calls UFL a “revolutionary project in football gaming” thanks to the “competitive and fair-to-play experience” it offers to players.

This is clearly throwing shade at FIFA’s pay-to-win FUT mode, and the developer Strikerz Inc. says as much:

“The game is designed to be a fair to play experience emphasising a skill-first approach with zero pay-to-win options.”

Strikerz CEO Eugene Nashilov doesn’t dismiss FIFA entirely though, saying:

“We at Strikerz Inc. have great respect for everything that has been done over the years in football video gaming.

“But at the same time, we feel that the community has been longing for a change.

“Our goal at UFL is to create a game that is immune to the issues that are blocking the genre’s progress.”


Much like Fortnite Creative and Batte Royale, there’s more than one mode in UFL, but the global online football league is the main attraction.

Offline play is available, as well as ranked and unranked modes, and special events.

UFL has already partnered with a number of clubs listed on its website, which include:

West Ham UnitedSporting CPFC Shakhtar DonetskBorussia MönchengladbachAS MonacoBeşiktaş JKCeltic FCRangers FC

UFL is launching this year, but there’s no exact date. It’ll release “when it’s ready”.
