How Sorare Global Cup 22 works

Sorare Global Cup 2022 is a brand new Sorare tournament for the international soccer period.  Players – called Managers – create lineups of 8 players based on a budget of 100 points – with each player valued based on their performance for club and national teams and the likelihood that their national team will progress to the knockout stage. They then can compete with their teams in a public, global league as the tournament progresses, collecting and winning new player cards on matchdays based on their team’s performance.

Other prizes include limited scarcity and special edition cards for the Sorare club game, VIP match ticket experiences and signed jerseys and merchandise.

Players can also compete for bragging rights in their own Private Leagues for the first time. If you create or join a Private League with 6 or more of your friends, managers will be entered into a raffle to win an official signed jersey from one
