Konami and FIFA's esports collaboration: a surprising partnership! After years of competition between FIFA and PES, this FIFAe Virtual World Cup 2024 event, hosted on Konami's eFootball platform, is a major development.

The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Collaboration
This partnership is particularly noteworthy given the long-standing rivalry. To recap, EA and FIFA ended their decade-long partnership in 2022 due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees. This led to the release of EA Sports FC 24 in 2023. The subsequent collaboration between FIFA and Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024 is a surprising turn of events.
Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate in the current special event featuring Bruno Fernandes and an 8x match experience multiplier for faster Dream Team progression.
