FIFAe World Cup Crowns Inaugural Console and Mobile Champions

by Oliver Dec 30,2024

The inaugural FIFAe World Cup 2024, a collaboration between eFootball and FIFA, has crowned its champions. Malaysia's Minbappe secured victory in the mobile division, while an Indonesian team—BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie—dominated the console competition.

Held at the SEF Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this prestigious tournament marks the beginning of what's hoped to be a continuing series. The high production values of the event are a testament to the significant investment Saudi Arabia is making in esports, mirroring the inaugural Esports World Cup held this year.

eFootball's Ambitions

The FIFAe World Cup's success, regardless of its long-term fan reception, undeniably boosts eFootball's position as a leading football simulator for elite competition. However, the question remains whether this high-profile, extravagant event will appeal to the average gamer. History shows that large-scale organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges, as seen in fighting game esports. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, potential future hurdles shouldn't be discounted.
