The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Alliance

This collaboration is a surprising turn of events after years of rivalry. Recall that EA and FIFA severed ties in 2022 after a decade-long partnership, reportedly due to FIFA's demand for a significantly increased licensing fee of $1 billion every four years – a substantial increase from the previous $150 million.

Following the split, EA released EA Sports FC 24 in 2023. Now, FIFA has partnered with Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024.

Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate in the current special event featuring a Bruno Fernandes design and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression.
