eFootball's Ambitions

The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 strongly suggests Konami and FIFA's determination to establish eFootball as the premier football simulator for elite competition. This partnership serves to reinforce that ambition.

However, concerns remain regarding the tournament's appeal to the average gamer. History shows that the involvement of major organizations in high-profile esports competitions can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges. While the FIFAe World Cup 2024 appears to have run smoothly, the potential for future complications exists.
