Sorare has just dropped a major update for fantasy football managers, activating 27 Crafting for three more leagues. Starting now, digital collectibles from the Scottish Premiership (SPFL), the Austrian Bundesliga, and the Croatian SuperSport HNL can be used in the crafting system, giving collectors new ways to upgrade their squads.

This move expands Sorare's crafting utility beyond the leagues already supported, signaling the platform's continued push to integrate gameplay mechanics across its licensed football partnerships. For managers holding cards from these competitions, the wait is finally over.

What Is Sorare Crafting and Why It Matters

Crafting in Sorare allows users to combine multiple cards to create a new, potentially more valuable card. It is a core mechanic designed to add depth to the game economy, letting players recycle unused or duplicate cards into something with higher utility or scarcity.

With 27 Crafting now live for SPFL, Austrian Bundesliga, and SuperSport HNL cards, collectors from these leagues can participate in the same upgrade paths that have been available for other competitions. This is particularly relevant for managers who have been stacking cards from smaller leagues, as it directly increases the value of their inventory.

How the Crafting Process Works

While the exact recipe details are not fully disclosed in the announcement, the general principle remains the same. Users typically need to submit a set number of cards — often in the same tier — to receive a card of a higher tier or a random card from a specific pool. The activation of 27 Crafting suggests that a specific set of 27 cards is required for each crafting attempt.

For the newly supported leagues, this means managers can now burn or trade in their existing SPFL, Austrian Bundesliga, and HNL cards to chase better outcomes. This could be a game-changer for those who have been holding onto lower-tier cards from these divisions.

Impact on Sorare Managers and Card Values

The immediate effect of this update is likely to be a shift in market activity. Cards from the SPFL, Austrian Bundesliga, and SuperSport HNL may see increased demand as managers seek to complete crafting sets. Conversely, cards that are less desirable in gameplay might become more attractive as crafting fuel.

For fantasy football players who focus on these leagues, the ability to craft can help them strengthen their rosters without spending additional money. It also adds a strategic layer: do you hold onto your cards for weekly competitions, or do you use them to craft a potentially better card for the long term?

Which Leagues Are Now Eligible

  • SPFL (Scottish Premiership) — Top-flight Scottish football, featuring clubs like Celtic and Rangers.
  • Austrian Bundesliga — Austria's premier division, home to Red Bull Salzburg and other competitive sides.
  • SuperSport HNL — Croatia's top football league, where teams like Dinamo Zagreb dominate.

Each of these leagues has a dedicated fanbase within the Sorare community, and the crafting activation is expected to boost engagement among their followers.

What This Means for the Future of Sorare

Sorare continues to expand its crafting and gameplay features, which is a positive sign for the platform's long-term health. By adding more leagues to the crafting system, the company is ensuring that collectors from diverse football markets have equal opportunities to participate in the game economy.

This update also hints at Sorare's broader strategy: to make every card useful, regardless of league or scarcity. As more competitions get crafting support, the secondary market could become more liquid, and the utility of cards will likely increase.

For now, managers with SPFL, Austrian Bundesliga, and SuperSport HNL cards should check their inventories and consider how they want to approach the new crafting options. Whether you are a casual collector or a hardcore fantasy player, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
