Hi Densje144,

You just need to be patient. The changes will take effect after the game update on July 25th. Also, the complete deactivation of the event was moved to July 30th to give players enough time to purchase the Lucky Explorer from the event category (for footballs) if they could not before the update. This is also a good time to buy other items from the event category that you might still like to have.

Regards,
