Konami eFootball to Partner with FIFA for FIFAe World Cup 2024

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/PS5) and Mobile divisions. Eighteen countries are eligible for the final rounds: Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey.

Three-part in-game qualifiers run from October 10th to 20th. National Nomination Phases follow from October 28th to November 3rd. The offline final round will conclude in late 2024 (exact date TBA). Even if your country isn't eligible, you can participate in qualifiers through Round 3 and earn rewards (50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, etc.).

The Unexpected Alliance of FIFA and eFootball

This partnership is ironic, given their past rivalry. EA and FIFA ended their long-standing partnership in 2022 due to a 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 2024 World Cup.

Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate in the current event featuring Bruno Fernandes and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression. Also, check out our other article on Hangry Morpeko in Pokémon GO this Halloween!
