Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: A surprising partnership! After years of competition between FIFA and PES, this unexpected alliance brings the FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 to Konami's eFootball platform.
eFootball In-Game Qualifiers Now Live!
The tournament features Console (PS4 & PS5) and Mobile divisions. 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.
In-game qualifiers run from October 10th to 20th (three rounds). National Nomination Phases follow from October 28th to November 3rd.
The offline final round will take place late 2024 (exact date TBA). Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can participate in qualifiers up to Round 3, earning rewards like 50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and other bonuses.
FIFA and Konami's Unexpected Team-Up
The partnership is a significant development, given their past rivalry. Following EA's separation from FIFA in 2022 (due to a disagreement over licensing fees), this collaboration marks a new chapter for both organizations. EA Sports FC 24 launched in 2023 without the FIFA branding.
Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate in the current event featuring a special Bruno Fernandes design and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression.
