World Cup

The World Cup event was a mini-game in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 which lasted from June 9, 2018 to July 16. It takes place in Modern Day with the lawn having white lines like in a football field. The player must get goals while fighting against zombies. The plant's score is represented in red while the zombies' score is represented by the blue part of the score board.

Plant teams
There are eight teams of plants available. The top rows of teams can be used anytime, but the lower row must be unlocked by winning with the four free teams or by spending 50 diamonds.

Gameplay
The player uses three specific plants from a team in a Last stand format, in which they can only plant in the blue Power Tiles (although they don't activate their ability here)

When done, the player must kill zombies that have a Football icon on their heads of they will pass it to others. If they kill that zombie, they will get a football as Plant Food. They must use it on a plant (while the game shows what plant can have a football icon on their head, the player can choose anyone) to give it Plant Food. After the Plant Food effect is done, the plant will release a football in its lane. If the football rolls out of the lawn without touching any zombie, the player gets a goal.

Zombies can not kill the player in this mini-game. However,if a zombie with a football reaches the player's house, the zombies get a goal.
