The eFootball™ Championship 2024 World Finals in Tokyo concluded on 21 July with Rentao and Mayageka as the Mobile and Console winners. The event was held at the esports Ginza studio from 20 July until 21 July and it was streamed live to a global audience.

The competition began with group stage matches on Day 1, where players were divided into groups of four, competing in a round-robin format. Each victory earned a player three points, with ties and losses yielding one and zero points respectively. The top players advanced to Day 2's knockout stage, where the final winners were determined.

For the mobile category, Rentao, who qualified to the World Finals from the eFootball™ Championship Open, emerged victorious against Gu_038games, demonstrating adaptability and strategic expertise throughout the match. The mobile grand final ended with a hard-earned 2-0 by the Brazilian.

The console category saw its Grand Final right after the victory of Rentao. In a Japanese Grand Final between Ax, who had qualified from Arsenal's Club Event; and Mayageka, who had also qualified from the eFootball™ Championship Open, the latter managed to secure the title. Moreover, the final was an exceptional display of skills, ultimately leading to the 3-1 victory of Mayageka which was not made easy by the Arsenal fan.
