  ---

Pride and glory are back on the line in the EA SPORTS™ FIFA Online 4 Series. Teamwork will be decisive in a highly competitive field of participants carrying their badge and the hopes of their fans. Teams will battle it out against their local rivals as well as internationally against teams from the other FIFA Online 4 nations to be crowned the FIFAe Champions Cup™ winner and earn valuable points on the road to the FIFAe Continental Cup 2022™.

First Step On The Road To Ultimate Glory 

The FIFAe Champions Cup™ is the first of three major qualification events on the road to the pinnacle event of the EA SPORTS FIFA Online 4 Series - the FIFAe Continental Cup 2022™. 

The FIFAe Champions Cup™ will see three teams from each region - China PR, Korea Republic, Thailand, and Vietnam - challenge their rivals to fulfil their dreams and climb to the top spots in the rankings.

Domestic Qualifiers, which have taken place over the last three months, have led up to the teams securing qualification for the event, with the other two major events later in the season taking place later this year before the main pinnacle - the FIFAe Continental Cup.

FeCHC 2022: The Format

Each team consists of three or four players each and will battle it out in a two-sided double-elimination styled bracket.

Each matchup during this double-elimination bracket will be played in a best-of-five format, meaning that participating FO4 esports teams must at least win three games of the maximum five games played.

Unlike previous seasons, the best-of-five format shall no longer include a “winner stays on” rule for the selection of the representing athletes, but rather shall have both of the FO4 esports teams nominate individual athletes for each of the first three games from their nominated squad.

The winner of the tournament will take home the biggest share of the $100,000 prize pool, as well as 200 important ranking points to propel themselves into a higher spot on the FIFA Online 4 rankings ladder.

When is it on?

The FIFAe Champions Cup draw took place on January 14, with the team draft on January 17. 

The Knock-Out Stage commences on January 19, with play occurring every day until the Final and Exhibition games - taking place on January 23.

Whilst those from South Korea & Vietnam play from home, production will also take place across studio spaces in China & Thailand. Make sure to not miss out on any action - you can follow the tournament live via FIFA.GG, FIFA’s official channels and partners in your region.
