Penalty Shootout Challenge

In the new 256-team "Penalty Shootout" knockout competition, all matches are determined by penalty shootouts no regular or extra time is played.
Since every match only has penalty scores, the font size for penalty scores has been increased for better visibility.

Match Format in Head-to-head

The "No draw" setting has been replaced with a more flexible "Match format" that includes four options:

• Regular time only
• Regular + Extra + Penalties
• Regular + Penalties
• Penalties only

For those who want a Copa America-style knockout match, where the game goes straight to penalties after a draw in regular time, simply select "Regular + Penalties.". This new setting is also available in the competition editor, allowing you to modify the match format for any stage of a competition.
