Original Story

Sobble on The Ball (005/005) Pokémon Futsal promo has been revealed.

 

No release date confirmed but it's going to be available at participating GAME UK England stores. We think it's coming very soon. The previous Pokémon Futsal promo was Scorbunny on the Ball. And the previous promo before Scorbunny on the Ball, was Grookey on the Ball.

 

Update 09-09-2021: Has been confirmed to release on Friday September 10, 2021. Available in GAME UK stores in England as a gift if you spend £15 or more on Pokémon TCG products.


Original Story

The UK should be very happy and excited! It was known before that The Football Association and The Pokémon Company International have a partnership since September 2019. But now they have revealed a collection of UK exclusive Pokémon Futsal promo's available at GAME UK stores. These promo's will have an exclusive Pokémon Futsal stamp on there. Pikachu on the Ball (001/005) and Eevee on the Ball (002/005) have been revealed.

Update:

  • Added official high resolution image of the promo card. 
  • Along the promo card, free Futsal themed promo card holders are also given away.
  • Also the Fifth Pikachu promo card will be given out if you register your Club for The FA Pokémon Youth Futsal Programme and you’ll be in with the chance to receive the Pikachu England Futsal Promo Card. 
  • This Eevee on the Ball card is not an 'Eevee' card and can not be used for cards that evolve from 'Eevee' cards in play.

Update 2:

  • Galar Starters have been confirmed for the other 3 promo's. We can expect Scorbunny on the Ball, Grookey on the Ball and Sobble on the Ball in the future. Also in-hand image of the Eevee on the Ball promo. Thank you to PokeGuardian Podcast Host PokeTaj for the images! Thank you Agile Fox for the unsealed promo image! 
  • Pikachu on the Ball Promo card image has been revealed. Thank you Vivian Frank for the images!
  • Image of the aforementioned free Futsal themed Card holder has been revealed too. Comes with tabs to hold the cards in. On the other side of the sheet, the Pikachu on the Ball image can be seen. Thank you Agile Fox for the image! 

This promotion at GAME UK is available tomorrow from September 11, 2020. You can obtain one card if you purchase at least £15 worth of Pokémon TCG purchases at GAME stores. While supplies last. GAME UK also confirmed that this promo card is available online too.

 

There are 5 cards in the set list, but so far 3 other promo's are being teased and a total of 4 promo's to collect at GAME UK. The Fifth promo card will be given out if you register your Club for The FA Pokémon Youth Futsal Programme and you’ll be in with the chance to receive the Pikachu England Futsal Promo Card.

While the actual Pikachu card being issued now appears to be identical to the one handed out to the leagues some time ago, there are differences with regard to the white identifier card that comes in the sealed pack. The new one has a copywrite date of 2022, while the original was dated 2020. There are also other text differences. Could be that the original white card may be quite desirable down the road.
