FIFA reveals that the soccer esports championship will be played in Rocket League

Rocket League, a football game developed and published by Psyonix, was chosen by FIFA to host esports competitions instead of their own soccer game.

Rocket League is a football game developed and published by Psyonix. Therefore, the football (soccer) organization FIFA decided to hold esports competitions in a different soccer game, the Rocket League.

The football organization FIFA has actually become a bigger loser by separating from EA Sports, despite the fact that its president Gianni Infantino said that FIFA will always be the most famous and best football name in the world of video games.

And while there's some theoretical chance that FIFA might get back into the game with a game in the future, we've got the best possible confirmation of how far they've hung in this whole story because of their greed.

Namely, FIFA announced the first world football esports championship - FIFAe World Cup - in which 16 nations will compete. They call it a big step in their intention to embrace the football esports scene, but what's the problem: there is no FIFA esports game. So, the world soccer esports championship will be played in a game that has a soccer theme, but is not a soccer simulation.

And as Christian Volk, Director of eFootball and Gaming at FIFA, said: "The FIFAe World Cup featuring Rocket League marks a new era for FIFAe, providing a groundbreaking platform for FIFA's member associations to compete on one of the most relevant esports titles. This milestone partnership highlights our commitment to evolve our football esports ecosystem and continue to build the biggest stages for all communities to fame their game."

At the very least, we can say that a very interesting championship awaits us, considering that the Rocket League is a highly popular game, with a large player base.

The game reached the heights when Epic Games made it free to play for all players, with simple but engaing mechanics. This FIFAe Rocket League football championship is set to attract large number of viewers, all things considered.
