Konami and FIFA's unexpected esports collaboration is a surprising turn of events, especially given their long history of competition. The FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 will be hosted on Konami's eFootball platform.
In-Game Qualifiers Now Live on eFootball!
This year's tournament features two divisions: Console (PS4 and PS5) and Mobile. 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. 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 exact date remains unannounced. Even if your country isn't among the 18, you can still participate in 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 ironic, considering their past rivalry. EA and FIFA ended their decade-long partnership in 2022 due to a disagreement over licensing fees. FIFA's demand for $1 billion every four years (a significant increase from the previous $150 million) led to the split. This resulted in the release of EA Sports FC 24 in 2023 without the FIFA branding. Now, FIFA has partnered with Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024.
