Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: a surprising partnership! After years of competition between FIFA and PES, this crossover event is unexpected. The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 will be held on Konami's eFootball platform.
In-Game Qualifiers on eFootball Are Live!
The tournament features Console (PS4 and PS5) and Mobile categories. 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 conclude in late 2024 (exact date unannounced). Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can participate in the qualifiers up to Round 3 and earn rewards (50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and more).

The FIFA x Konami eFootball Partnership: An Unexpected Twist!
This collaboration is ironic given their past rivalry. EA and FIFA ended their partnership in 2022 due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees. This led to the release of EA Sports FC 24 without the FIFA branding.
Now, FIFA has partnered with Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024. Download eFootball from the Google Play Store to participate. A special event featuring Bruno Fernandes and an 8x match experience multiplier is currently underway.
