charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The move has been well-received by fans and organizations alike, signalling a fresh direction for FIFAe.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament will feature teams from 16 different countries, selected based on their representation in previous RLCS events.<\/p>\n<p>Countries like the USA, Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, and the UK are expected to field strong teams, given their established presence in the Rocket League competitive scene.<\/p>\n<p>However, with only 12 countries represented at the recent London Major and several of those having fewer than three players, there&#8217;s ample opportunity for new talent from other nations to emerge.<\/p>\n<p>One of the notable aspects of this announcement is FIFA&#8217;s commitment to inclusivity.<\/p>\n<p>Players not affiliated with professional organizations will have opportunities to qualify through national tournaments, accessible via FIFA.gg.<\/p>\n<p>This approach aims to democratize access to esports at a national level, aligning with FIFA&#8217;s broader goals of expanding its esports footprint beyond traditional football simulations.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Volk, Director of eFootball and Gaming at FIFA, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, &#8220;The FIFAe World Cup featuring Rocket League marks a new era for FIFAe, providing a ground-breaking platform for FIFA\u2019s member associations to compete on one of the most relevant esports titles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As details continue to unfold throughout the year, including specifics on format and additional participating nations, the Rocket League World Cup under FIFA&#8217;s banner promises to be a pivotal event in the esports calendar, bridging football&#8217;s global appeal with the exciting dynamics of vehicle soccer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports
