How to complete the Olympic Striker challenge in BitLife

Become an Olympic champion.

The Olympics are over now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a fun after-party. BitLife is aware of this, and it’s celebrating the Olympics by having a sports-themed challenge asking you to become a famous soccer player. Here’s how to complete the Olympic Striker challenge, also known as Star Striker inĀ BitLife.

BitLife Olympic (Star) Striker challenge guide

BitLife’s Olympic Striker challenge has five objectives to complete:

  • Be born in Greece
  • Join the track team in secondary school
  • Emigrate to the United Kingdom
  • Become a famous soccer player
  • Win 2+ soccer championships

Since you have to become a famous soccer player and win championships, you’ll need the Pro Athlete special career pack for this challenge. You can get it through the BitLife Marketplace in the main menu, but doing this costs real money.

Be born in Greece

The first part of this challenge is creating a character born in Greece. Although you’ll emigrate later, you must start in Greece and wait until you unlock this option. Beyond this, your start gender and city are entirely up to you, although having a special sports talent will make this challenge easier to complete.

Join the track team in secondary school

The next part of the Olympic Striker challenge is joining the secondary school track team. You’ll start secondary school when your character turns 15, giving you three years to join the team. You can find the team by heading into School, Secondary School, and Activities. From here, scroll down until you see the Track Team.

Although unlikely, there is a chance you won’t find the track team when you search the list. If this happens, you may have to create a new character and age up again until you find the team in the list. After joining the track team, leave immediately and join the soccer team instead, as you’ll need this to become a famous athlete later in the challenge.

Emigrate to the United Kingdom

Once your character turns 18, you can emigrate to the United Kingdom. It doesn’t matter when you complete this task as long as you do it before your character passes. In most cases, I recommend making this the last task you complete so you can peacefully retire in the UK.

Another option you might encounter is getting offered a contract to play professional soccer for a British team. Doing this automatically leads to you emigrating to the United Kingdom, knocking out multiple tasks in one go.

Become a famous soccer player

The hardest part of the Olympic Striker challenge is becoming a famous soccer player and winning soccer championships. The easiest way to become a famous soccer player is to join the soccer team in secondary school or university, practice hard, and become a team captain. If you practice hard, you’ll likely be offered a contract to play professional soccer.

Once you become a professional soccer player, you can access its options through the occupation menu. You’ll find menus for practicing your skills, training, and requesting a trade, among other options. For now, focus on training and practicing to improve your skills and raise your odds of becoming famous.

Win soccer championships

Now that you’re a famous soccer player, you’ll have access to practicing and training your fitness. Maxing your fitness will reduce the odds of getting injured while improving your skills helps your team win championships later. Don’t worry; your character’s stats will likely be pretty bad at first, but you can improve them later.

Once you age up, you’ll find a summary sheet showing your performance and your team’s ranking. Getting first place means winning a soccer championship and being eligible for an award. Your results are partially random, but maxing your fitness and soccer skill stats raises your odds of getting one. Once you win two championships, you’ll officially complete the Olympic Striker challenge inĀ BitLife.
