FIFAe World Cup concludes with first ever champions for console and mobile
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 continuing series. The tournament's high production values reflect Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports, coinciding with the inaugural Esports World Cup.
A Polished Presentation, But Will It Last?
The FIFAe World Cup's success with fans remains to be seen. Konami and FIFA clearly aim to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for competitive gaming, and this tournament strongly supports that ambition.
However, the question of whether this high-profile, extravagant competition will appeal to the average gamer is less certain. The history of esports, particularly in fighting games, shows that major organizational involvement can sometimes lead to challenges in top-level play. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, potential future complications aren't impossible.
