Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: An unexpected twist in the football gaming world! This partnership, following years of FIFA vs. PES competition, sees the FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 hosted on Konami's eFootball platform.
In-Game Qualifiers on eFootball Are Live!
The tournament features Console (PS4 & PS5) and Mobile divisions. Eighteen countries—Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey—are vying for the final spots.
In-game qualifiers run October 10th-20th, followed by National Nomination Phases (October 28th-November 3rd). The offline final round concludes in late 2024 (exact date pending). Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can participate in qualifiers up to Round 3, earning rewards like 50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and more.

The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Alliance
This collaboration is a surprising turn of events, given their long-standing rivalry. Following EA's split with FIFA in 2022 (due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees), this partnership marks a new chapter for both organizations. EA subsequently launched EA Sports FC 24 without the FIFA branding.
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.
