Konami and FIFA's unexpected esports collaboration: The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024! After years of competition between FIFA and PES, this partnership is a surprising twist. The tournament will utilize Konami's eFootball platform.
In-Game Qualifiers on eFootball: Now Live!
The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 features two divisions: Console (PS4 and PS5) and Mobile. Eighteen nations are eligible for the final stage: Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey.
From October 10th to 20th, compete in the three-round in-game qualifiers. National Nomination Phases for the 18 countries run from October 28th to November 3rd.
The offline final round will conclude in late 2024; the exact date is yet to be announced. Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can participate in the qualifiers up to Round 3, earning rewards such as 50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and other bonuses.

The Unexpected Partnership: FIFA and Konami
This collaboration is particularly interesting given the long-standing rivalry between EA and Konami. EA ended its partnership with FIFA in 2022 after FIFA demanded a significantly increased licensing fee ($1 billion every four years, a substantial increase from the previous $150 million).
Following the split, EA released EA Sports FC 24 in 2023. Now, FIFA has 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 Bruno Fernandes and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression.
