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! After years of competition between FIFA and PES, this partnership is a surprising turn of events. The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 will be hosted on Konami's eFootball platform.

In-Game Qualifiers Now Live on eFootball!

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

The three-part in-game qualifiers run from October 10th to 20th. National Nomination Phases for the 18 participating countries follow from October 28th to November 3rd.

The offline final round will conclude in late 2024; the exact date is yet to be announced. Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can still participate in the qualifiers up to Round 3, earning rewards like 50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and other bonuses.

This collaboration marks an interesting turn after years of rivalry. In 2022, EA and FIFA ended their decade-long partnership due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees. FIFA's demand for $1 billion every four years, a substantial increase from the previous $150 million, led to the split. This resulted in the release of EA Sports FC 24 in 2023 without the FIFA branding. Now, FIFA has found a new partner in Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024.

Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate! A special event is currently underway, offering a custom Bruno Fernandes card and an 8x match experience multiplier to boost your Dream Team progress.
