Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: a surprising partnership! After years of competition between FIFA and PES, this crossover event is unexpected but exciting. The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 will utilize Konami's eFootball platform.
In-Game Qualifiers Now Live on eFootball!
The tournament features two divisions: Console (PS4 and PS5) and Mobile. Eighteen countries are vying for the finals: Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey.
In-game qualifiers, spanning three rounds, run 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 conclude in late 2024 (exact date pending). Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can still participate in the qualifiers up to Round 3, earning rewards like 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. 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 branding for EA's football game.
Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate! A special event featuring Bruno Fernandes and an 8x match experience multiplier is currently underway, offering a faster path to leveling up your Dream Team.
