FIFAe World Cup: First Champions Crowned in Console and Mobile

The FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaboration between Konami's eFootball and FIFA, concluded with thrilling victories in both the mobile and console divisions. The tournament, held at the SEF Arena in BLVD Riyadh City, marked the first of what is hoped to be an ongoing series of events.

Minbappe from Malaysia emerged as the champion in the mobile category, showcasing exceptional skill and strategy. On the console side, Indonesia dominated the competition, with BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie securing the top spots.

The production quality of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 was notably high, reflecting the significant investments in esports from Saudi Arabia, particularly in light of the inaugural Esports World Cup occurring the same year. This level of production underscores the commitment to making eFootball the premier football simulator for competitive play, as endorsed by both Konami and FIFA.

While the event's grandeur is undeniable, there remains a question of whether such a high-profile tournament will resonate with the average player. In other esports, like fighting games, top-level competitions have occasionally faced challenges when major organizations are heavily involved. Time will tell if the FIFAe World Cup can maintain its momentum and appeal to a broad audience.
