It's evident that Konami puts immense value on Barcelona's continued presence in their football activities, considering that this renowned super club has been part of Pro Evolution Soccer and eFootball since the 2016-17 season. That said, extending the partnership through the 2023/24 season is a logical decision.

The continued partnership is also being celebrated by Konami as Naoki Morita, Konami Digital Entertainment B.V.’s European President, commented:

It is very exciting to be announcing an extension to such a successful partnership. F.C. Barcelona is truly one of the giants of world football. We are proud to have them as part of the eFootball series now and for the next few years, thanks to this renewal. To have secured a bright future that will include a multitude of commercial, image, and esports rights and activations is fantastic for Konami and the eFootball series. We endeavor to keep evolving our product to bring the best user experience possible.

Juli Guiu, FC Barcelona Vice President for Marketing, added a comment.

We are very pleased to renew our agreement with Konami, a company that over the years has always demonstrated its commitment to F.C. Barcelona. Konami is a benchmark in the video game sector and will help us to forge new synergies with young audiences and to continue to explore possibilities in the realm of digital entertainment, a key sector for the expansion of our brand in the coming years.

Over the seven years of this robust partnership, F.C. Barcelona has achieved significant success, including three Spanish League titles and five domestic cup victories. Konami takes pride in supporting 'La Blaugrana' during their journey and eagerly anticipates continuing this partnership.

But what does this mean for the future of eFootball 2023? Well, this renewal ensures that Konami will retain several rights with F.C. Barcelona, including access to players, media opportunities, and exposure at events.
