The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaborative effort between eFootball and FIFA, has concluded, crowning champions in both console and mobile categories. 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, showcasing the significant investment Saudi Arabia is making in esports, mirroring the launch of the Esports World Cup this year. The high production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 were immediately apparent.
eFootball's Ambitions
The FIFAe World Cup's success, regardless of its long-term fan reception, clearly signals Konami and FIFA's ambition to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. This partnership strongly reinforces that goal.
However, concerns remain about the potential disconnect between this high-profile, extravagant tournament and the average gamer's experience. History shows that large-scale organizational involvement in esports, even in established scenes like fighting games, can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, future challenges are not impossible.
