FIFAe World Cup: First Champions Crowned in Console and Mobile

The FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaboration between eFootball and FIFA organized by Konami, has concluded with impressive results across both the console and mobile divisions. The event, which took place at the SEF Arena in BLVD Riyadh City, marked the inaugural tournament of what is hoped to become a recurring event in the esports calendar.

In the mobile division, Minbappe from Malaysia emerged as the champion, showcasing exceptional skill and strategy to take home the gold. On the console side, the competition was dominated by Indonesian players, with BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie claiming victory. Their success highlights the growing prowess of Indonesian esports athletes on the global stage.

The production values of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 were nothing short of spectacular, reflecting the significant investment and commitment to esports from Saudi Arabia, particularly in the year of the inaugural Esports World Cup. The high-quality presentation underscores the event's importance and sets a new standard for esports tournaments.

Both Konami and FIFA are clearly positioning eFootball as the premier football simulator for competitive play. This tournament serves as a strong endorsement of eFootball's capabilities and its potential to become the go-to platform for top-level football esports. However, there remains a question about whether such high-profile, glamorous events will resonate with the average player. The history of esports, particularly in fighting games, has shown that major organizational involvement can sometimes lead to challenges in maintaining the integrity and appeal of competitive play.

For fans of mobile gaming, the excitement doesn't stop with the FIFAe World Cup. The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 recently concluded, celebrating the best in mobile gaming. Be sure to check out the winners and see if your favorites were recognized.
