The tournament is expected to feature more than 110 nations and will be held across multiple platforms, allowing players to compete on various systems.
Vietnam will compete in both categories: eFootball Console, open to players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC; and eFootball Mobile for iOS and Android devices.
This year’s world finals will adopt a 2v2 team format, requiring players to combine individual skill with effective coordination.
To earn the right to represent the country, Vietnamese players must go through a rigorous selection process. The in-game Challenger Series qualifiers were held in February. Results from Round 3 (Ranking) will serve as the key basis for the Vietnam Recreational and Electronic Sports Association (VIRESA) in selecting candidates.
VIRESA works in coordination with KONAMI and FIFA to implement the national team selection process. The final squad will be determined based on competition results and professional criteria. Updates on the official roster and competition schedule will be published through VIRESA’s official channels.
The FIFAe World Cup 2026 is the official esports tournament organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), bringing together national representatives competing in eFootball. FIFA, in cooperation with KONAMI, organises a global competition system that enables national football associations to evaluate and select their official players.
Ahead of the 2026 edition, Vietnam reached the quarterfinals of the AFC eAsian Cup 2023. In the inaugural tournament organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the team advanced from the group stage and defeated Tajikistan in the round of 16 before being eliminated by Saudi Arabia, finishing among Asia’s top eight teams.
