FIFA Is Teaming Up With Konami's eFootball For FIFAe World Cup 2024!

Konami and FIFA's unexpected esports collaboration: The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 will be hosted on eFootball!

This surprising partnership follows years of competition between FIFA and PES. The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 will utilize Konami's eFootball platform, a significant development after EA Sports and FIFA's split in 2022.

In-Game Qualifiers on eFootball are LIVE!

The tournament features two divisions: Console (PS4 and PS5) and Mobile. Eighteen countries are eligible for the final stages: Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey.

• October 10th - 20th: Three-stage in-game qualifiers.
• October 28th - November 3rd: National Nomination Phases for the 18 participating countries.
• Late 2024: Offline final round (exact date TBA).

Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can still participate in the qualifiers up to Round 3 and earn rewards including 50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and other in-game bonuses.

The FIFA x Konami Partnership: A Surprising Twist

The collaboration is particularly noteworthy given the long-standing rivalry between the two companies. EA's separation from FIFA in 2022, reportedly due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees, paved the way for this unexpected alliance. The resulting EA Sports FC 24, released in 2023, dropped the FIFA branding.

Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate in the current special event featuring a Bruno Fernandes design and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression.
