The team at Konami working on Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 and UEFA are announcing that European gamers will be able to take part in an official online Champions League competition, with the first ranked matches taking place tomorrow, March 26.

All interested gamers can join the league and the two organizations are working together to gather data that will create an average based both on results and on the performance of each player.

The overall prize for the UEFA Champions League Competition in PES 2014 is 25,000 Euro (38,000 dollars) and other partners, including Sony and UEFA, are also offering signed merchandise and a chance to go to the finals of the real-world competition in Lisbon at the end of May.

A UEFA Youth League competition is also offered and will last for one week starting on March 28, with the best eight PES 2014 players taken at the end of the period to Nyon in Switzerland to compete in an official tournament at the UEFA headquarters.

Recently, Konami has also announced that it plans to deliver a new World Challenge for the game, which will basically simulate the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The football sim has failed to deliver the same sales performance as its main rival, FIFA 14 from EA Sports.
