The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaboration between eFootball and FIFA, has crowned its champions. Malaysia's Minbappe secured victory in the mobile division, while Indonesia dominated the console competition with the winning team of BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie.
Held at the impressive SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this tournament marks the first of what's hoped to be a recurring event. The high production values were immediately apparent, a reflection of Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports, coinciding with the inaugural Esports World Cup.
eFootball's Ambitions
The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 underscores Konami and FIFA's joint ambition to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. However, concerns remain about the potential disconnect between this high-profile, lavish event and the average player's experience. History shows that significant organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges. While the FIFAe World Cup's debut appears seamless, future developments warrant attention.
The tournament's spectacle is a sharp contrast to the recent Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 – be sure to check out the winners!
