The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaborative effort between eFootball and FIFA, has concluded with exciting results across both console and mobile platforms. Malaysia's Minbappe secured victory in the mobile division, while an Indonesian team, comprising BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie, dominated the console competition.
Held at the impressive SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this tournament marks the first of what's hoped to be a recurring event. The high production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 are evident, reflecting Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports, coinciding with the inaugural Esports World Cup.
eFootball's Ambitious Goal
The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 strongly suggests Konami and FIFA's determination to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. However, the question remains whether this high-profile, extravagant tournament will appeal to the average gamer. History shows that significant organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to challenges in top-tier gameplay. While the FIFAe World Cup appears smoothly run for now, potential future hurdles cannot be ruled out.
