After the success of the Independence Day Cup, KONAMI is back with another major esports event for Indian eFootball™ fans. This time, the title is adding festive cheer to the competition with the eFootball™ Diwali Cup 2025. Featuring a ₹1,00,000 prize pool and exclusive rewards for the top performers. The tournament promises to be one of the biggest highlights of the season.
What makes this event even better is the timing. Diwali is not just about glimmer and celebrations; it is about winning, joy, and new beginnings. This event hopes to bring that same energy to the esports community, where competition meets festivities in the most exciting way.

The registrations have opened on October 2, 2025, and the window will close on October 16. If players want to compete, they will need to register their accounts on the eFootball™ India Discord server, which will once again be the home for announcements, fixtures, matches and winner updates.

Celebrating the Spirit of Diwali
Diwali represents light, happiness and victory, and KONAMI is hoping to reflect those values in this tournament. Like families celebrating the festival of light, the Diwali Cup will bring the community together in a celebration of gaming. The event will take place in a time when players will both love competing while enjoying the festive mood of the season.
The Independence Day Cup earlier this year set the stage for the season, bringing in enormous registrations and an action-packed finale. The Diwali Cup will continue that energy, giving players who did not participate in August another opportunity to shine on the pitch.
