eFootball Partners with FIFA for FIFAe World Cup 2024

Konami and FIFA's unexpected esports collaboration: the FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024! This partnership, following years of FIFA vs. PES competition, is a surprising turn of events. The tournament will utilize Konami's eFootball platform.

In-Game Qualifiers Now Live on eFootball!

The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 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.

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

The offline final round concludes in late 2024 (exact date pending). Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can still participate in qualifiers up to Round 3, earning rewards like 50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and other bonuses.

The Surprising FIFA x Konami Partnership

This collaboration is ironic given their long history of rivalry. Recall that EA and FIFA parted ways in 2022 after a decade-long partnership, reportedly due to FIFA's demand for a significantly increased licensing fee.

This led to the release of EA Sports FC 24 in 2023 without the FIFA branding. Now, FIFA has unexpectedly teamed up with Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024.

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