FIFA has partnered with Konami to host two editions of the FIFAe World Cup on eFootball, starting today.

This collaboration marks FIFA's continued involvement in esports after ending its partnership with EA. FIFA is now including eFootball alongside other games like Rocket League and Football Manager in its esports events. While EA Sports FC remains the leading soccer game, eFootball is its closest competitor, with a recent peak of 17,610 players on Steam compared to EA's 98,400.
