Everyone knows the Champions League. But do you know the cult status of K League and J League football?

While Europe’s elite play to the same anthem, there’s a whole world of football passion unfolding in Korea and Japan. From towering tifos to fiercely loyal fanbases, the K League and J League aren’t just leagues—they’re cultural movements. And this month, we’re honoring their legacy in true Sorare fashion.

Introducing our first ever Heritage Edition cards with two massive Game Weeks with $60,000 in cash prizes*, our finest ever Sorare jerseys and one unforgettable trip to witness cult football greatness live in Asia.

*Prizes may be awarded in cash or in ETH.

Watch the video to learn all about our Heritage product events.


For these special Limited card designs, we’re proud to unveil a creative collaboration between Sorare and Bled FC—a passionate community member with a deep knowledge of J.League and K League football, and a culture-driven approach to football design. 

Together, we co-created the Heritage Edition: Sakura & Horangi—a new line of Special Edition cards that pay homage to the identity, artistry, and passion of Japanese and Korean football.

Each card in the collection weaves in symbolic elements drawn directly from these rich football cultures:

  • 🌸 The Sakura (cherry blossom) represents elegance, transience, and tradition—hallmarks of Japanese football.
  • 🐅 The Horangi (tiger) symbolizes strength, fearlessness, and pride—emblematic of Korean football’s bold spirit.
  • 🖊️And, for the first time ever, these card editions feature player names using the local alphabet (Korean & Japanese)

The Heritage Edition cards (exclusive to Limited cards) are more than just collectibles—they’re a tribute to clubs and players who’ve built football’s underground legacy.

But the collaboration didn’t stop at the digital pitch. Working closely with Bled FC, we also designed two exclusive Heritage jerseys, one for each league. Inspired by the same cultural themes, these limited-edition kits will be available as prizes in upcoming Special Competitions, Market promos, and social media giveaways on Sorare.

“As a long-time member of the Sorare community and a huge fan of Asian football, it was a real pleasure to work on this collaboration with Sorare’s design team. We wanted to create something that truly reflects the essence of both leagues, and I really hope the community enjoys what we’ve put together.”Bled FC

Heritage Editions are a celebration of community, creativity, and global football culture—brought to life through storytelling and design.
