The Energy of the Moment
December 18, 2025 marks the beginning of a new chapter in football history.
At the Phygital Games of the Future 2025, real and digital sports come together in a single, electrifying experience — where technology becomes an extension of human emotion and strength. UFL will serve as the official football simulator of the tournament, hosting matches from December 18 to 23 in Abu Dhabi, where the world’s top players will face off. The event will feature 11 disciplines and a total prize pool of $5,000,000.
For UFL, this isn’t just a partnership — it’s a step into a new era of sports.
What Are the Phygital Games?
Phygital Games of the Future is a global tournament in a groundbreaking format, blending traditional sports with competitive gaming disciplines.
Each phygital discipline includes two stages — a physical contest and a digital showdown, united by one scoring system.
It’s a synergy of sport, technology, and culture — a symbol of a new era in which sport is no longer confined to the physical. Phygital Games isn’t just a competition. It’s an innovation lab, where a new language of sport is being created.
Why UFL?
UFL’s selection as the official football simulator of the Phygital Games was no coincidence.
The game is built on the principles of realism and competitive integrity — where victory is earned through skill, not luck.
Known for its attention to detail and deep sporting philosophy, UFL is the perfect fit for phygital football.
For the organizers of Games of the Future, it's not just about visual resemblance to real football — it’s about capturing its true spirit: its energy, emotions, and sense of team unity.
UFL reflects those values. It brings together players from across the globe on a community-driven platform, where every match tells a story of passion and precision.
How Phygital Football Works
The UFL discipline at the Phygital Games blends physical intensity with digital mastery.
Each match has two stages: first, players take to a mini-pitch for a short-format football game. Then, the battle continues in UFL, where strategy, reaction, and game sense determine the outcome.
Final scores are calculated across both parts, creating a unique balance between real-world performance and virtual execution.
