Winning Shot Campaign

Similar to the campaign held during the Tokyo Qualifier, there will be a Winning Shot campaign held for both the Japanese and global versions of the game leading up to the Hong Kong Qualifier.

Players will use the Twitter hashtag #GetDreamballsHK (for the global version) to tweet their predictions for the Captain Tsubasa character who will score the winning goal in the final match of the Hong Kong Qualifier. Predictions will be accepted from Friday, July 19 until 11:59 pm on Thursday, July 25 (UTC+9), and the results will be announced during the event. On both versions of the game, everyone will win 30 Dreamballs if over 283 people guess the correct player who shoots the winning goal.
