The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaboration 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 team BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie taking the top prize.
Held at the impressive SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this event marks the first of what's hoped to be a recurring tournament. The high production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 are a testament to the significant investment Saudi Arabia is making in esports, mirroring the inaugural Esports World Cup held this year.
A Polished Presentation, But Will It Last?
The FIFAe World Cup's success with fans remains to be seen. Konami and FIFA are clearly positioning eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition, and this tournament significantly bolsters that claim.
However, the question of whether this high-profile, extravagant competition will appeal to the average gamer is a valid concern. The history of esports, particularly in fighting games, shows that major organizational involvement can sometimes disrupt top-level play. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, potential future challenges are not impossible.
