FIFA has partnered with Rocket League for the eSports World Cup.
During the Rocket League Championship Series on Sunday, it was announced that 16 countries will participate, with three national team players and one substitute.
Countries will be selected based on the number of players who have participated in past Rocket League major events.
“The FIFAe World Cup featuring Rocket League marks a new era for FIFAe, providing a groundbreaking platform for FIFA`s member associations to compete on one of the most relevant esports titles,” said FIFA’s director of eFootball and gaming Christian Volk.
“This milestone partnership highlights our commitment to evolve our football esports ecosystem and continue to build the biggest stages for all communities.”
This will be the first tournament hosted by FIFA since the end of its partnership with EA from 2020 to 2022, when the company decided not to renew its license agreement.
