The FIFAe World Cup 2025™ featuring eFootball™ Mobile to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in December
12 nations to participate in the FIFAe World Cup 2025™ featuring eFootball™ Mobile
To qualify, nations will compete in regional online qualifiers across the globe
After an incredible debut season that culminated in Malaysia lifting the trophy, represented by MINBAPPE, the FIFAe World Cup™ featuring eFootball™ Mobile is once again up for grabs — and the stage is set for an even bigger showdown in 2025. Taking place in Riyadh in December, the competition will be one of the three pinnacle events of the FIFAe Finals 2025.
With national pride on the line, 12 nations will be represented by their top mobile players in this prestigious 1v1 competition. Returning in a similar format as the FIFAe World Cup 2024™ featuring eFootball™ Mobile, only one nation will be the ultimate champion.
The road to the FIFAe World Cup 2025™ featuring eFootball™ Mobile begins with nations identifying their representatives through various selection processes. This includes Domestic Trials, Bootcamps and the FIFAe World Cup 2025™ Challenger Series – an open competition for fans of football and eFootball™, where standout participants may earn a chance to be shortlisted by their Member Association for the National Nomination Phase. From there, nations advance to the FIFAe Regional Online Qualifiers, aiming to secure their place on the global stage at the pinnacle event.
To select their representatives, nations can choose from one of the following pathways – or in suitable combination of them:
Bootcamps: Closed selection camps for top-performing talent
Domestic Trials: Trials open to all with an optional invitation to well-established players in the National community
Direct Nominations: For nations with well-established representatives ready to compete
Two players can be nominated to the MA’s Extended National Squad.
MAs may consider a range of factors beyond in-game performance when finalizing their national team nominations. These can include how individuals represent their country under pressure, their communication skills, conduct in interviews, and overall professionalism – much like the expectations placed on athletes in traditional football.
The complete list of participating nations will be revealed in August.
The FIFAe World Cup 2025™ Challenger Series is the reworked in-game activation by Konami™ within eFootball™ Mobile during the 2025 season. The series includes three distinct rounds, and players who complete them will be ranked on a leaderboard.
Round 1 AI Battle: July 31 – August 6
Round 2 PvP Battle: July 31 – August 6
Round 3 Ranking: August 8 – August 10
This leaderboard can give MAs an additional data-driven way to identify high-performing players within the community to support their selection process.
