They thought it was all over…..the celebration of football continues!

From 13:00 GMT on the 5th of July until 09:00 GMT on the 9th of July

Show everyone how to score goals in the new event "Tank Football"! Play football and get a unique decal - a fiery ball!

Tank sport model variants have been especially designed for Tank football. From what could previously be considered an armoured monster, we now have a real sporting machine: a lightweight body construction comprising of special alloys, a tuned racing chassis, and of course, a turbocharged engine. These vehicles are capable of powerful boosts thanks to their special muzzle brake compensator construction!

Initially, the muzzle brake compensator “Munchausen” was designed to allow armoured vehicles to overcome ditches, walls and water obstacles, but it was not introduced into service as it did not allow the use of traditional shells. Because of this, the Global Tank Football Association adopted it specifically for competitive matches.

The use of such a muzzle brake together with a special powder charge allows the tank to impart a large impulse in the direction of the cannon. Use this opportunity for spectacular strikes, intercepting the ball and also for overturning any opponents.

2 events are available:

  • 3 vs 3 for random players (not in the squad)
  • 4 vs 4 for squads
Receive the “Fiery Ball” decal by attaining victory in a match with an activity of 30% or more (though don’t leave the match until the final whistle)

The match has 2 regular 5 minutes halves each. In the case of a draw, players will get 2 additional periods of 1.5 minutes each. Only game time is taken into account (as in five a side or mini football). If the results after the two additional periods is still a draw - the victory will not be awarded to any team.

No more rules - Batter, Brake and GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!
