The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Alliance

This collaboration is a fascinating turn of events after years of competition. Recall that EA and FIFA parted ways in 2022 after a long partnership, reportedly due to FIFA's demand for a significantly increased licensing fee.

This led to the release of EA Sports FC 24 in 2023 without the FIFA branding. Now, FIFA has partnered with Konami's eFootball for the FIFAe World Cup 2024.

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. Also, check out our article on Hangry Morpeko in Pokémon GO this Halloween!
