New event: Underdogs

14-03-2025 10:00


Why do we all root for the underdog? Could it be that they remind us that heart, resilience, and belief can overcome talent and odds? Or is it the thrill of watching something truly historic unfold before our eyes? Our latest event celebrates a few of the most incredible, iconic underdog stories ever in sports.


New event features!

Before run down the underdogs chosen four our event teams, we want to quickly remind you that there are a few new features being launched with this event. We are introducing Paths, along with some brand new Chip rewards, and a quicker way to play event matches. You can read all about the update here.

If you have questions or thoughts regarding these new features, you can do so in the forum, here.


All the event level teams and what they represent

1: The incredibly well rounded FC Porto winning the Champions League in 2004.
2: "Giantslayer" Juan Martín del Potro winning the 2009 US Open in tennis.
3: John Dalys sensational PGA Championship breakthrough victory in 1991, when he decided to simply hammer the ball over the hazards instead of between them like everyone else.
4: Detroit Pistons winning the 2003–04 NBA season in spite of not having any big names, simply through working extremely hard as a team.
5: Kerri Strug for her heroic vault in the 1996 Olympics, where she had to land on one leg due to an ankle injury.
6: Holly Holms MMA fight in 2015, when she stunned Ronda Rousey against all odds.
7: Sri Lanka, for their incredible victory the 1996 cricket World Cup.
8: Japan, who shocked everyone and won the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
9: Unseeded Gustavo Kuerten won the 1997 French Open, and charmed the tennis world with his joyous style and apparent love for the sport.
10: Atlético Madrid overcoming both Real Madrid and Barcelona in their very prime, to win the 2013–14 La Liga season.
11: The New York Mets used to be the laughingstocks of baseball, but that changed unexpectedly in 1969, when they won the MLB out of nowhere.
12: Rulon Gardner defeating the "unbeatable" Aleksandr Karelin to win gold in the 2000 Olympic Games wrestling, against all expectation.
13: In the final days of preparation for the 1960 Olympics marathon, Abeke Bikila shoes fell apart. He opted to run barefoot and in furious fashion, he won the gold medal and even set a new world marathon record.
14: Local Brazilian newspapers had already printed "Champions of the World" editions to sell the next day. But Uruguay stood up to their neighbour country, and won a famous victory in front of almost 200 000 Brazilian spectators during the 1950 World Cup in Rio.
15: Denmark hadn't even qualified for the 1992 European Championship, but got their chance as one of the other countries were disqualified. The legendary "Danish Dynamite" team ended up winning the tournament.
16: The USA hockey team, with mainly amateur college players, defeated Soviet in the 1980 Olympic match known as "Miracle on Ice".
17: Greece won the 2004 European Championship as 150-1 outsiders. As Angelos Charisteas scored the only goal in the final he became immortal, but it was the incredibly hard and skilful work of the entire Greek team which made the victory possible.
18: Buster Douglas defeated Mike Tyson in 1990, in a stunning upset where everyone expected Tyson to steamroll his opponent.
19: In 2002, speedskater Steven Bradbury won perhaps the unlikeliest Olympic gold medal of all time, as the skaters ahead of him kept crashing out in heat after heat.
20: However, perhaps nothing will come close to Leicesters 2015-16 season ever again. They are hands down the most incredible underdog winners in sports history, narrowly avoiding relegation in 2015, to overcome 5000-1 odds and win the Premier League title a year later.
