- eFootball and the FIFAe team for the first FIFAe World Cup have ended
- Minbappe from Malaysia wins gold in mobile game
- Meanwhile, on consoles, the winners were BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC and akbarpaudie.
Konami’s e-football team-up with FIFA for the 2024 FIFAe World Cup has borne fruit, with winners crowned in both the console and mobile divisions after the tournament concluded. Indonesia was the winner on consoles, while Malaysia’s Minbappa took the gold on mobile.
The competition, to be held at the SEF Arena at BLVD Riyadh City, will be the first of what both sides are likely to hope will become a permanent event. As mentioned above, the mobile division was won by Malaysian competitor Minbappe, while Indonesian competitors BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA and akbarpaudie prevailed on consoles.
You only need to take a quick look at the match itself to see how much effort has gone into the production values of FIFAe World Cup 2024. It will come as no surprise that it will take place in the same year as the inaugural eSports World Cup, which is part of the eSports World Cup. The main push for investment in esports that we are seeing is coming from Saudi Arabia.

I don’t think it’s a question of whether the 2024 FIFAe World Cup will resonate with fans. It is clear that both Konami and FIFA are keen to promote electronic football as That football simulator for top-level competition, and this support only confirms this.
At the same time, I’m skeptical that such glitzy, over-the-top competition will resonate with the average player. In the world of fighting games, which is arguably one of the original architects of modern esports, we often see major disruptions in top-level gaming when large organizations get involved. I have no doubt that something similar could potentially happen with the FIFAe World Cup, but for now things are going smoothly.
