Thirty-two of the planet’s leading players will be narrowed down to one as the curtain closes on the competitive EA SPORTS FIFA 19 season with the marquee event: the FIFA eWorld Cup™.

Returning to The O2 in London, the Grand Final will take place on 2-4 August with the winner set to bag a staggering USD 250,000 cash prize, the coveted trophy and a trip to The Best FIFA Football Awards.

Expect drama, excitement and plenty of goals over an action-packed three days as the elite of competitive FIFA vie for the right to be crowned the EA SPORTS FIFA 19 World Champion.

It all starts with the group stage. Four groups – two Xbox, two PlayStation – contain eight players based on where they finished in the EA SPORTS FIFA 19 Global Series Rankings. Seven rounds of matches are played with the four best players from each group qualifying for the Round of 16. The best-placed player from one group face the lowest-placed player in another, and so on.

The Round of 16 winners progress to the quarter-finals before the world’s best four players – the best two on each platform – are narrowed down by the semi-finals.

The best player on each console goes through to the Final Showdown where a two-leg tie with one match each on PlayStation and Xbox determines the eWorld Cup Champion 2019.

Voting will take place on Twitter and Facebook, giving you the chance to select who you believe is worthy of the award.

From sublime skills to breath-taking bicycle kicks, the best four moments of Day 1 and 2 will be chosen at the end of each day, with a social media vote determining the winner. The #DareToCreate award will be presented to the winner, who will also receive a one-year boot deal with adidas.

The prestige of global glory isn’t the only thing on the line at the O2 in London. This year’s eWorld Cup boasts the biggest prize pool yet with a staggering USD 500,000 up for grabs, up USD 100,000 from last year with USD 250,000 going to the winner.
