The 2024 FIFAe World Cup featuring Rocket League is an upcoming Rocket League esports tournament organized by FIFA. It will be the first edition of the FIFAe World Cup that is played on Rocket League, with the FIFAe World Cup also holding eFootball and Football Manager tournaments.
Background
[edit]Rocket League was announced as one of the two games to be played alongside Football Manager (and later eFootball) at the 2024 FIFAe World Cup in June 2024.[1][2]
Format
[edit]Nations will send a team of three plus one alternate for the tournament.[3] The participating nations may opt for a qualification process or internally select the team that will represent their country.
Teams
[edit]16 nations were selected by FIFA to compete in the tournament based on playerbase and previous performances; initially this was announced to be based on the number of representatives from each country in previous Rocket League Majors.[4] Each nation will be responsible for organizing their own qualifying tournaments for the competition, otherwise they can invite their own set of players.[5] The first three nations were announced on 9 August, with the rest being announced on 11, 13, 15 and 17 August.
