FIFA cozies up to EA rival Konami for soccer esports


FIFA and Konami have teamed up to host two editions of the FIFAe World Cup esports tournament in eFootball.

Soccer’s governing body has teamed up with Konami to host two editions of the FIFAe World Cup on the console and mobile versions of eFootball later this year. Eighteen FIFA member associations are taking part, namely those in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, England, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea Republic, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand and Türkiye. It's too early to tell whether Konami's title will become FIFA's official licensed partner for major soccer games and adopt the governing body's name.
