The 32 finalists for the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2016 embarked on the opening matchday which saw the field whittled down from 32 players to only four semifinalists.

The four players that survived the pressure and secured a seat in the semi-finals are Ivan Lapanje (Sweden), Sean Allen (United Kingdom), Dylan Bance (France) and Mohamad Al-Bacha (Denmark).

The Matchday 1 live stream included the Group Stage, Round of 16 and Quarterfinals. Relive the entire day’s action right here on FIFA.com with our four-hour long replay, or with FIFATV on YouTube.
