TOKYO--()--Today, CYBIRD Co., Ltd., the Japanese video game developer, announced that Diego Maradona will be the star player of its new football game, BFB Champions: Global Kick Off, when it releases the game on smartphones in the coming months. Football fans will be able to have a first look at the 3D model of Maradona in action in the trailer available on the official website. His image will then appear in promotional materials and his 3D character will be one of the players in the game when it is released.

Does Diego Maradona need to be introduced? He is undoubtedly one of football’s greatest legends. In the first teaser for the game, football fans can enjoy his famous “Goal of the Century” that he scored against England at the 1986 World Cup in a 3D recreation that lets you appreciate it from a new angle. BFB Champions: Global Kick Off is the successor to the hit Japanese football game BFB 2016, and has already secured more than 70,000 pre-registrations, from Japan to Europe, to play it as soon as it is released!
