To log in to your eFootball™ account on another mobile device, initiate a Data Transfer from the startup title screen menu using your linked KONAMI ID or platform cloud service. Completing this transfer on the title screen before tapping into the game imports your existing Dream Team, player cards, and currency without generating an accidental blank profile.
Link Your Data on the Original Device First
Before attempting to log in on a secondary device, you must bind your game progress on your primary device. If you switch devices without completing this step, the new installation creates an empty profile, and your existing team cannot be retrieved.
To link your account on your active device:
- Go to the Extras tab from the main hub.
- Select Support, then tap Link Data.
- Choose your binding method: Link using KONAMI ID or Link using Google Play Games / Game Center.
Linking via KONAMI ID redirects you to an external browser to register an email address, set a password, and enter a verification code. Once finished, the in-game status updates to "Linked."
How to Complete Data Transfer on the New Device
Data transfer must be performed on the initial splash screen before you enter country selection or tutorial matches.
Follow these steps on your new or secondary device:
- Download and open eFootball™ from your device's app store.
- On the opening "Tap to Start" screen, do not tap the center of the display. Instead, tap the circular menu icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Select Data Transfer from the popup menu.
- Select Transfer data linked to KONAMI ID account (or select your platform service if migrating within the same operating system).
- Enter your registered email and password on the My KONAMI portal, along with any requested two-factor authentication code.
- Return to the application when prompted. A confirmation dialog will indicate that the data transfer succeeded. Tap to enter your restored club.
KONAMI ID vs. Platform Cloud Services
Choosing between a KONAMI ID and platform cloud saves determines whether your account can transfer across different mobile operating systems.
| Feature | KONAMI ID Transfer | Platform Cloud (Google Play / Game Center) |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-Platform Migration | Works between Android and iOS | Restricted strictly to the same operating system |
| Authentication Method | External browser login via My KONAMI | Automatic in-app single-tap sync |
| eFootball™ Points Access | Required for Point redemption programs | Not linked to eFootball™ Points |
| Device Flexibility | Any supported mobile device | Requires matching Google or Apple accounts |
A KONAMI ID is mandatory if you switch between an Android smartphone and an iOS tablet, as platform cloud saves cannot bridge different operating systems.
Monthly Transfer Limits and Troubleshooting
Konami restricts accounts to 10 data transfers per calendar month across all devices. If you reach this cap, additional transfers are blocked until the counter resets on the first day of the next month. Keep this limit in mind if you regularly alternate between a phone and a tablet.
If you encounter errors during the transfer process:
- Browser redirect fails: If the browser does not return you to eFootball™ after logging in, disable active ad-blockers, clear browser cookies, or set Chrome or Safari as your default browser.
- Session timeout errors: Ensure your device's date and time are set to automatic network synchronization. A time mismatch with Konami servers causes authentication failures.
Post-Transfer Settings and Balances
Once your account loads on the new device, confirm that your squad and settings match your preferences:
- eFootball™ Coins: Free earned coins, GP, and eFootball™ Points transfer across all platforms. However, paid eFootball™ Coins purchased on Android do not carry over to iOS (and vice versa) due to app store payment policies.
- Controls and Graphics: Data transfer restores club data but resets local device preferences. Open Extras > Game Settings > Play Settings to reconfigure your control scheme (Classic or Touch & Flick), button opacity, and frame rate settings before playing competitive matches.
