FIFAe World Cup concludes with first ever champions for console and mobile

The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaboration between eFootball and FIFA, has concluded, crowning champions in both console and mobile categories. Malaysia's Minbappe secured victory in the mobile division, while Indonesia dominated the console competition with the team BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC and akbarpaudie taking the top prize.

Held at the impressive SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this tournament marks the first of what's hoped to be a recurring event. The high production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 were evident, reflecting Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports, mirroring the inaugural Esports World Cup held this year.

eFootball's Ambitions

The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 underscores Konami and FIFA's determination to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. However, concerns remain about the potential disconnect between this high-profile, extravagant tournament and the average player's experience. History shows that significant organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to challenges in top-level gameplay. While the FIFAe World Cup 2024 currently appears smooth, potential future issues cannot be ruled out.
