Konami and FIFA's collaboration for the FIFAe World Cup 2024 in Saudi Arabia is a resounding success. The tournament, spanning both console and mobile platforms, begins December 9th and will be livestreamed globally with a live audience.

The competition features a thrilling showdown: over 54 players from 22 countries battling in intense 2v2 console matches, while 16 mobile players from 16 different nations compete in 1v1 showdowns. These finalists emerged from qualifiers that started in October.

A substantial prize pool of $100,000 is up for grabs, with the grand prize winner receiving a significant $20,000 share. Viewers can also participate in the excitement; tuning into the livestream from December 9th to 12th unlocks daily bonuses—up to 4,000 eFootball points and 400,000GP.

This partnership marks a significant achievement for Konami, adding to their impressive portfolio of collaborations, including high-profile athletes like Messi and popular crossovers such as Captain Tsubasa. While the tournament's appeal to the average gamer remains to be seen, the collaboration undoubtedly strengthens Konami's position in the gaming world.
