FIFA is undergoing significant changes in its esports strategy, confirming that it will no longer collaborate with EA for its annual esports tournament. This decision marks a departure from the long-standing relationship that helped FIFA dominate the video game space, effectively sidelining competitors like Konami.

In a new direction, FIFA has partnered with Konami to host the FIFAe World Cup esports event, which will now utilize eFootball instead of EA Sports FC 25. Starting today, players can enter qualifying matches leading to two major tournaments set for 2024: one focused on the mobile version of eFootball and the other on consoles.
