Football’s greatness extends far beyond the pitch itself. It’s not just the iconic moments that take place between the lines, but the players themselves who inspire generations and the communities that form around a shared love of the beautiful game.

Top Eleven has introduced a new way for managers to celebrate those connections with the launch of the Superstar World Gallery, a new in-game event created in partnership with FIFPRO, which represents over 70,000 professional football stars via their affiliated player associations.

Available now through July 11, the Superstar World Gallery invites managers to build a prestigious collection featuring some of football’s most recognizable names from around the world. Throughout the event, players can discover and collect superstar player cards integrated across the Top Eleven experience through tournaments, daily gameplay rewards and special opportunities within the game.

The event brings a new layer of strategy and progression to the Top Eleven experience, while creating more ways for players to engage with the sport and the stars who define it. One of the biggest additions arriving with the event is an entirely new social feature, player card trading.

For the first time, managers will be able to exchange player cards with one another to help complete their collections. Missing a key player to complete a nation’s roster? Trading creates new opportunities for players to work together, collaborate with friends and fellow managers and strategically build toward their goals.

The addition reflects Top Eleven’s continued focus on expanding ways for players to connect both with the game and with one another. Football has always been driven by community, and the new trading system brings that spirit directly into the player experience. Managers who complete the full Superstar World Gallery collection will unlock an exclusive final reward recognizing their achievement and elevating their status as a legendary football manager.

As Top Eleven continues to evolve, events like Superstar World Gallery create new opportunities to celebrate the sport’s biggest stars while bringing players together around the shared excitement of football.
