In Brief:
- Sorare (official site) has launched European Nations competitions for fantasy managers during the international football break.
- The Limited European Nations Pro Board runs from September 21 to October 7, featuring a prize pool of $25,000.
- Managers can use In Season cards to score points based on national team matches, keeping engagement high during the break.
New competitions for managers
Sorare’s new European Nations competitions are now live, allowing fantasy managers to stay active while club football is on pause. The Limited European Nations Pro Board features a total prize pool of $25,000 and is available across all card scarcities.
Managers will have multiple opportunities to score points, with most nations playing four games before the competition closes on October 7. Each rarity—Rare, Super Rare, and Unique—will have its own separate Arenas, enabling cash rewards over five game weeks.
Pro Board details
To participate in the European Nations Pro Board, managers must use four In Season cards, as there is no Step Clock limiting their progress. The board consists of five levels tied to score thresholds: Level 1 requires 360 points with a $500 reward, Level 2 requires 380 points for $1,500, Level 3 needs 420 points for a $30 prize, Level 4 is at 450 points for $200, and Level 5 unlocks a share of the $25,000 prize pool at 460 points.
Completing the streak allows managers to re-enter and qualify for additional shares of the prize pool.
Prize pool structure
The $25,000 prize pool is divided among all managers who qualify, meaning individual shares depend on how many reach Level 5. Rewards are displayed in USD equivalents but are paid in ETH, SOL, or cash based on user settings and local regulations.
Boosted cards
Special European Nations Boosted Cards, offering a 15 percent scoring advantage, will be available through Flash Sales during the competition. While not required for entry, they can significantly impact a lineup’s success, especially for managers aiming to surpass tight score thresholds.
Separate Arenas for rarer cards
Managers using Rare, Super Rare, and Unique cards will compete in designated Arenas rather than the Pro Board. The five-gameweek format accommodates the international football schedule, maintaining player engagement during club breaks.
Importance for managers
International breaks have traditionally stalled fantasy football activity. The European Nations competitions leverage national team matches, ensuring that In Season cards remain relevant throughout the break. This streak format offers casual players clear objectives compared to traditional head-to-head rankings, while top managers still have competition through the shared prize pool.
Sorare overview
Founded on officially licensed digital player cards, Sorare allows managers to build lineups and score points based on player performance. The platform features various sports, including NBA and MLB. With a structured supply of cards per rarity—1,000 Limited, 100 Rare, 10 Super Rare, and one Unique—the secondary market facilitates trading, enhancing squad collections.
The Limited European Nations Pro Board is open until October 7, when the 15 percent card boost also expires.
