eFootball and FIFA Partner for FIFAe World Cup 2024

Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: An unexpected twist in the football gaming world! This partnership, following years of FIFA vs. PES competition, is bringing the FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 to Konami's eFootball platform.

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.

The 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 Surprising FIFA x Konami Partnership

This collaboration is a significant development after years of rivalry. Recall that EA and FIFA ended their decade-long partnership in 2022 due to a disagreement over licensing fees. FIFA's demand of $1 billion every four years (a substantial increase from the previous $150 million) led to the split. This resulted in the launch of EA Sports FC 24 in 2023 without the FIFA branding. Now, FIFA has unexpectedly partnered 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 a Bruno Fernandes design and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression.
