The Pele Cup is a Fortnite Limited Time Mode (LTM) taking place on January 20.

"Who better to kick off a global football program than one of the greatest players to ever live?" said Nate Nanzer, head of global partnerships at Epic Games.

"We're super excited to be able to bring Pele's famous air punch celebration into the game.

"We also have a really exciting tournament that we're going to be running where any Fortnite player will be able to sign up and compete to try to win both outfits and the Pele emote early, prior to launch, for free."
