Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: a surprising partnership! The long-standing rivalry between FIFA and PES has taken an unexpected turn with FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 using Konami's eFootball platform. This is a significant development, especially considering EA's split with FIFA in 2022.

The tournament features Console (PS4 & PS5) and Mobile categories. Eighteen countries are vying for the final spots: Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, England, France, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, and Turkey.
The three-part in-game qualifiers run from October 10th to 20th, followed by National Nomination Phases (October 28th to November 3rd). The offline final round will conclude in late 2024 (exact date TBA). Even if your country isn't competing, you can still participate in qualifiers up to Round 3 for rewards (50 eFootball coins, 30,000 XP, and more).

The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Collaboration
This partnership is a remarkable twist after years of competition. EA's separation from FIFA in 2022, reportedly due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees, paved the way for this unexpected alliance. The subsequent release of EA Sports FC 24 without the FIFA branding further highlights the shift in the football gaming landscape.
