When looking at eSports FIFA tournaments, leagues, and betting markets, you may see a number, such as eSports FIFA 22. This number references the specific game being played.

Yes, and it’s one of the biggest events in all of eSports. Known as the FIFA eWorld Cup, this event was established in 2004 as the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC).
The FIFA eWorld Cup has been hosted all over the world, including Germany, Switzerland, England, USA, and Brazil. One of its unique features is that all players have a chance to qualify, and that includes you!
Qualification takes place over the PlayStation and Xbox networks, with millions given access. The top 16 of both the Xbox and PlayStation groups will then advance to the Finals, where they can compete for a chance to win a 6-figure prize.
The FIFA eWorld Cup Finals are streamed live on YouTube and Twitch and the last champion was Mohammed Harkous, a German player better known as “MoAuba”. MoAuba actually won back in 2019, but the event was not held in 2020 or 2021, and so he was the reigning champion for several years.
It’s not just the World Cup that you need to look out for. These days, there is an abundance of FIFA eSport pro competitions held as part of the Global Series, including leagues, regional playoffs, regional cups, and more.
