FIFAe World Cup Crowns Inaugural Console and Mobile Champions

by Aaron Jan 01,2025

The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaborative effort 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 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, mirroring the inaugural Esports World Cup held this year.

eFootball's Ambitions

The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 underscores Konami and FIFA's 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. History shows that large-scale organizational involvement in esports, even in established scenes like fighting games, can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, potential hurdles remain.
