As a lifelong fan of football and video games, this news about the partnership between Konami and FIFA has me absolutely thrilled! I’ve been waiting for a fresh take on digital football ever since EA and FIFA parted ways. The prospect of competing in the FIFAe World Cup, whether on mobile or console, is simply exhilarating!

Renowned publishers Konami and FIFA are planning to launch a digital adaptation of the World Cup within their popular multi-platform sports simulation game, eFootball. This exciting collaboration will result in two separate tournaments: one for mobile devices and another for consoles, with events kicking off as early as this current month!

Today marks the opening of the qualifiers, and 18 countries will participate in the first-ever tournaments. Among them are Argentina, Morocco, and Thailand. As expected, a captivating new promotional video for the tournament has been released. For further details about the tournament and the qualification process, visit the official Konami eFootball website.

For fans of eFootball, this will be exciting news, as the competition is open to all players. Meanwhile, for Konami and FIFA the benefits are obvious, as since dumping EA the association seems to have been shopping around for a new partner that will bring the beautiful game into the homes of players around the world.

This action could be a significant leap forward for both FIFA and Konami. For many years, Electronic Arts’ (EA) FIFA series has been a go-to platform for people to enjoy football. After their falling out, it seems FIFA hasn’t regained the same level of interactive media exposure that EA once provided. This opportunity presents a win for Konami, but they now need to demonstrate that eFootball can touch, or even surpass, the audience that EA once had.

If you’re not into football, that’s perfectly fine! We’ve compiled an impressive list of fantastic mobile games from the top picks of 2024, so you have plenty of exciting options to explore.
