Activision confirmed Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, and Paul Pogba Operator skins are coming to Modern Warfare 2 during Season 1. Here’s everything you need to know about getting the new football skins.

Call of Duty made plenty of waves with ambitious crossovers during Vanguard. Including bundles for, Attack on Titan, Terminator, and Godzilla vs. King Kong. Each event received varying degrees of criticism, so Activision returned to the drawing board for Modern Warfare 2.

MW2 brought out the big guns, using a-list celebrities for its marketing campaign, and flooded every medium with big-budget trailers. Things didn’t stop there as a leak revealed big-name football stars coming as Operators. On October 27, leaked photos of Paul Pogba and Neymar skins surfaced.

Activision confirmed Messi, Neymar, and Pogba Operator skins are coming to Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2, and CoD Mobile. Here’s how to purchase the limited-time Operators.

Trailers

On November 24 Call of Duty shared a trailer for the event on YouTube.

All three football Operators will only be available as limited-time Bundles, meaning the skins will not be available to unlock through completing in-game objectives. They will only be available to purchase through the in-game store.

Each bundle costs 2400 CoD points.

Make sure to purchase all three Operators while you still have a chance. Activision did not provide a timeline for how long they will be available to purchase.
