Ambassador of “Captain Tsubasa -RIVALS-” Comment from professional soccer player Andres Iniesta
This is Iniesta, who has been appointed as an ambassador for “Captain Tsubasa -RIVALS-“. Captain Tsubasa has been my favorite manga since I was a child. I’m currently playing soccer in Japan, and it’s safe to say that it was Tsubasa, the main character of Captain Tsubasa, who brought me to Japan.
When I heard that Captain Tsubasa will be the latest blockchain game, I wanted to support this new challenge, so I became an ambassador. I would be happy if Captain Tsubasa -RIVALS conveys the appeal of Captain Tsubasa and soccer to even more people.
