Jumbo's EA FC 25 AED 40,000 Tournament Hits Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Jumbo is running an in-store EA FC 25 tournament at Mall of the Emirates and The Galleria until 8 Jan 2026, with prizes worth AED 40,000 and free entry.
If you are already playing EA FC 25 at home and think you have got something to prove, Jumbo is giving you a public stage. It's running an in-store tournament across two locations - one in Dubai and one in Abu Dhabi - with a single leaderboard that updates as people post scores. The best part: you can walk in, play during store hours, and you don't need to buy anything to enter.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Jumbo is hosting an EA FC 25 in-store tournament in Dubai (Mall of the Emirates) and Abu Dhabi (The Galleria)
- It runs until 8 Jan 2026 with a shared leaderboard across both cities
- Enter is open to walk-ins and doesn't require a purchase
What “GAME ON: EA FC 25” actually is
Jumbo has set up dedicated EA FC 25 gaming zones inside two of its stores, and it’s running a live tournament under the “GAME ON” banner.
- Locations: Jumbo at Mall of the Emirates (Dubai) and The Galleria (Abu Dhabi)
- Format: In-store matches + score submission
- Leaderboard: One combined board for both emirates
This isn’t a sit-down esports arena with tickets and strict schedules. It’s built for walk-ins. You show up, get your attempts, and your score decides whether you’re mid-table or suddenly talking big on WhatsApp.
Dates and locations in the UAE
This activation is time-boxed, so if you want in, don’t leave it till the last weekend.
- Start: 22 December 2025
- End: 8 January 2026
- Where to play:
- Jumbo, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai
- Jumbo, The Galleria, Abu Dhabi
Because it’s inside retail stores, the practical detail is simple: go during store opening hours and head to the gaming zone.
How to enter, play, and get on the leaderboard
The tournament flow is straightforward, but there’s one step people always mess up: uploading the score.
- Register using a UAE mobile number
- Each player gets two chances to post their best score
- Upload your score after the match (mandatory)
- Rankings update on a live leaderboard shared across Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Registration is done online, then you confirm at the gaming zone before playing. After you finish, you’re expected to capture your result and upload it right away so it counts. (If you don’t upload, you basically played for vibes.)
If you want a quick refresher on what’s going on in the wider football gaming world, Tbreak’s EA Sports FC coverage is a decent rabbit hole to fall into.
Prizes worth AED 40,000: what’s up for grabs
Jumbo says the prize pool totals AED 40,000, split across rewards for top performers and overall champions across the two cities.
- Total prize value: AED 40,000
- Examples mentioned: gaming monitors, gaming kits, tablets, and handheld gaming devices
- Rewards include top-player prizes and grand prizes for overall winners
The big thing to note: participation doesn’t require a purchase, so you’re not being forced into a “buy something to compete” setup.
