FIFAe World Cup 2023 Crowns Inaugural Champions

The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaborative effort between eFootball and FIFA, has concluded successfully. The tournament, held at the SEF Arena in Riyadh, crowned champions in both console and mobile categories.

Malaysia's Minbappe secured victory in the mobile division, while an Indonesian team comprising BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie dominated the console competition.

The high production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 were evident, reflecting Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports this year, coinciding with the first Esports World Cup.

eFootball's Ambitions

The tournament's success underscores Konami and FIFA's commitment to establishing eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. However, concerns remain about whether this high-profile, extravagant event will appeal to the average gamer. History shows that large-scale organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges, a potential risk for the FIFAe World Cup's future.

For now, though, the tournament appears to have run smoothly. Speaking of accolades, don't forget to check out the winners of the recent Pocket Gamer Awards 2024!
