FIFA Just Ditched EA for Konami in Major Move to Support Esports
FIFA has officially parted ways with its long-time video game partner, EA Sports, and joined forces with Konami. This is a big change to the esports scene as the partnership will feature the Japanese company’s eFootball as the exclusive platform for the upcoming FIFAe World Cup.

This collaboration follows the association’s break from a long-standing relationship with EA, which had previously been responsible for its flagship football games. This new deal will see two World Cup events hosted by the entertainment company on mobile and console platforms, a first for both the association and eFootball.
This New Partnership By FIFA Comes Right Before The Start of The World Cup
The decision to partner with Konami follows FIFA’s split from EA in 2022, ending a nearly three-decade-long collaboration that produced the world’s most popular football video game franchise.
