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

The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Partnership
The collaboration is particularly noteworthy given the long-standing rivalry between the two companies. EA's split with FIFA in 2022, reportedly due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees, paved the way for this surprising alliance. The subsequent release of EA Sports FC 24 marked the end of the FIFA-branded EA games.
Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate! A special event featuring Bruno Fernandes and an 8x match experience multiplier is currently running, offering a faster path to leveling up your Dream Team.
