Samsung, aiming to celebrate the football season, ventured into the Roblox platform creating a virtual playground known as the "Samsung Space Cup". This initiative was a part of Samsung's metaverse endeavor in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The event featured a virtual football tournament, with the tagline :

"Calling all football fans. Come explore the immersive world of the Space Cup - a dedicated zone of Samsung Space Tycoon game on Roblox, hosting the ultimate Space Cup football tournament."

In this tournament, 8 teams from countries across the region battled for glory and incredible prizes. Team KSA emerged as the winners of the inaugural Space Cup tournament, after which the experience continued with various challenging mini-games for participants to enjoy.

Gameplay Mechanics:

1. Football Tournament :
   Initially, the core gameplay mechanic revolved around a virtual football tournament where 8 teams from the region competed on a unique kind of pitch, filled with obstacles. The tournament was structured in a 3v3 team setup, led by the best players from the region. The final phase of the tournament saw the last 2 players from each team who excelled in the trials, playing alongside their respective team captains in the Space Cup football tournament.
