eFootball's Ambitions

The success of the FIFAe World Cup 2024 undeniably boosts eFootball's positioning as a premier football simulator for elite competition. However, the question remains whether this high-profile, lavish tournament will appeal to the average gamer. History shows that significant organizational involvement in esports can sometimes lead to unforeseen challenges, mirroring experiences in other established esports scenes like fighting games. While the FIFAe World Cup currently appears smooth, potential future complications are not entirely out of the question.
