Following two successful FIFA eWorld Cup<\/a> events in London, FIFA announced this week that the British capital will host the tournament once again in 2019. Like last year, it will take place over three days (August 2-4) at the world-renowned O2 Arena.<\/p>\n

The 2018 FIFA eWorld Cup broke all sorts of records, reaching over 29 million views online over three days. That marked a 400% increase from the previous edition, so expectations are high for this year. <\/p>\n

The recent growth of the tournament is reflected in the prize money. The winner will again take home US $250,000, but the pool has increased from $400,000 last year to $500,000. That continues a steep upward trend in FIFA eWorld Cup prize money, as all events up until 2016 had a total fund of $26,000.<\/p>\n

The format of the competition will mimic 2018, with 32 players (16 each for PlayStation and Xbox) split into four groups of eight based on their performance in the FIFA 19 Global Series Playoffs<\/a>. After seven rounds of play, the top four players from each group will enter the round of 16, where the best-placed player from one group meets the lowest-placed player in another and the second-placed player meets the third-placed player from another group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
