The FIFA Interactive World Cup 2017 Is Underway

The preliminaries are finally complete for the FIFA Interactive Club World Cup 2017. Competitors have fought for their spot, seats have been overbooked and everyone’s cleared their weekend for the upcoming spectable; the largest FIFA 17 event of the year.

Millions of virtual footballers have waited for this with qualification beginning in November. Securing one of the 32 seats has never been more difficult with many ways to qualify. These include competing in the Ultimate Team Championship Series, FIWC Regional Final in Europe, Americas or ROW and the FIFA Interactive Club World Cup; that was quite the mouthful. However, the entire competition is separated into two divisions, that of PS4 and the other of Xbox One. For the exact breakdown on the numbers check out the official website: http://www.fifa.com/interactiveworldcup/information/tournament-format.html

Regarding schedule, the Grand Finalists compete from the 16^th to 18^th of August. The venue is London’s Westminster’s Central Hall. Also, if you’re wondering why qualifying is so intense, it’s because the $200,000 is waiting at the end of the tournament for someone to claim it.

We know we’re a little late, with games underway right now at FIFA.com’s broadcast. Below is the full schedule according to the London local time.
