FIFA x Konami’s eFootball Is Delightful!After years of rivalry, it’s almost comical to see the two joining forces for an esports event. For context, EA parted ways with FIFA back in 2022 after a decade-long partnership. Apparently, FIFA was looking for a licensing fee of a whopping $1 billion every four years.
It was a huge jump from the $150 million they were getting. Unsurprisingly, the deal fell apart. And following the break-up, EA Sports FC 24 was released in 2023 without the FIFA name. And now, FIFA has teamed up with Konami’s eFootball for FIFAe World Cup 2024.
So, go ahead and dive into eFootball from the Google Play Store. Right now, there’s another enchanting event happening. You can snag a custom-designed Bruno Fernandes and enjoy an 8x match experience multiplier to level up your Dream Team faster.
