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 team BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC and akbarpaudie.
Held at the SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this prestigious tournament marks the beginning of what both organizations hope will be a long-lasting partnership. The high production values of the event reflect Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports, mirroring the scale of the inaugural Esports World Cup held this year.
eFootball's Ambitions
The FIFAe World Cup's success, regardless of its overall reception among fans, underscores Konami and FIFA's ambition to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for professional esports. This collaboration significantly strengthens that goal.
However, concerns remain about the potential disconnect between the high-stakes, glamorous tournament and the average gamer. History shows that major organizational involvement in esports, even in established scenes like fighting games, can sometimes lead to unforeseen complications. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, the future remains to be seen.
