The FIFA World Cup is not only about traditional football anymore, as FIFA has announced a partnership with Rocket League to include the rocket-powered cars playing football game in its FIFA esports (FIFAe) World Cup this year. This collaboration is a significant step in FIFA’s commitment to promoting the growth of football esports globally and recognizes Rocket League as an official relative of football, despite its unique features.
Sixteen nations from around the world have been invited to participate in this event, which was announced on X, formerly known as Twitter. Fans can stay updated on the latest stories and deals selected by the PC Gamer team.
The selected countries will each send a team of three players with one alternate, who will compete in their national colors. The sixteen countries chosen to participate in the FIFAe World Cup will be determined based on the number of representatives they had in previous Rocket League Majors. Aspiring players can sign up for FIFA’s esports platform and select Rocket League as their preferred game at FIFA.GG.
FIFA plans to release more details about the event and announce the participating associations at a later date. With this collaboration, FIFA is taking an exciting step towards embracing new forms of sport and entertainment while still staying true to its love for football.
