2024-10-12
- Konami and the globally renowned football entity FIFA are once again forming a partnership
- The new FIFAe World Cup will have two digital tournaments hosted on mobile and console platforms
- 18 countries have been invited for representation, while qualifiers begin now
Global publisher Konami and football authority FIFA are gearing up to launch a digital rendition of the famous World Cup, using their popular multi-platform sports simulation game, eFootball. The new alliance will lead to two digital tournaments, one each for mobile and console platforms, set to kickstart this month!
The qualifiers have begun today, inviting 18 countries including Argentina, Morocco, and Thailand to participate in the inaugural tournaments. A flashy trailer accompanies this announcement, promoting the tournament. All details, including qualification criteria, can be found on the official Konami eFootball webpage.
For eFootball enthusiasts, this revelation carries immense excitement as the contest is open to every player. Both Konami and FIFA stand to gain significantly from this venture. Post EA declaration, the association has been seeking a new partner to bring the charm of football to worldwide players' homes.
Both FIFA and Konami are poised to take a huge step forward. EA's FIFA series has been one of the most preferred platforms for fans to enjoy the game for several years. Post their bitter separation, FIFA has been struggling to regain the expansive interactive media space that EA once provided. This provides a window of opportunity for Konami, although it is high time they prove that eFootball caters to an equally, if not more, extensive audience.
