The Unexpected FIFA x Konami Alliance
This collaboration is particularly noteworthy given the long-standing rivalry. Following EA's split with FIFA in 2022 (due to a significant disagreement over licensing fees), this partnership marks a significant shift in the football gaming landscape. EA subsequently launched EA Sports FC 24.
Download eFootball from the Google Play Store and participate in current in-game events, including earning a special Bruno Fernandes design and an 8x match experience multiplier for your Dream Team.
