FIFAe World Cup crowns inaugural console and mobile champs

by Jason Jan 20,2025

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 winning team of BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie.

Held at the impressive SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this tournament marks the first of what's anticipated to be a recurring event. The high production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 were readily apparent, reflecting Saudi Arabia's significant investment in esports this year, coinciding with the inaugural Esports World Cup.

eFootball's Ambitions

The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 underscores Konami and FIFA's shared ambition to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. However, the question remains whether this high-profile, lavish tournament will connect with the average gamer. The history of esports, particularly in fighting games, suggests that major organizational involvement can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smoothly run, potential future complications cannot be ruled out.
