A Nations Story Event Guide


A Nations Story is found within the icon journey section of the game. It appears to run for 1 year, but this is subject to change. 



Part 1 - Japan

For our first Nations Story we head to Japan. The event involves no gameplay, but instead focuses on Trivia. Each Country has 3 stages where you are required to answer questions about that countries world cup journey. Below I will give the answers to each question so that you don't fail any of the questions. Level 1 starts with 3 questions. Each time you complete a challenge, your accuracy must improve. Challenge 1 requires 33% accuracy, Challenge 2 67% and Challenge 3 100%. This equates to you getting 1, 2 and then 3 questions correct.




Each correct question gives you 150 tokens which can be exchanged for a logo, rank up items or Nations Story Shards. Extra shard can be purchased using FC Points, but the event does appear to be F2P
