After months of competition, on Thursday May 24, eight of the best FIFA players in the world will meet at FC Twente’s De Grolsch Veste stadium.
Competing for a share of the $10,000 prize pool will be players from teams from the UK, Denmark, Holland, Switzerland and Germany. All of those who made it to the live semi-finals have already been through an arduous group phase and knockout rounds, featuring 64 clubs and eSports organisations. All matches will be streamed live by Goal on both Facebook and Twitch.
First, a winner will be crowned in both the Xbox and Playstation divisions, before both meet in the grand final.
On the Playstation side of the tournament are Kev96 of ExceL Esports, AjaxLev63 from Ajax, FC Basel’s CodyderFinisher, and FifaUstun, fresh from winning the FIFA eClub World Cup in Paris with Brondby eSports.
The final four in the Xbox division are vFl Bochum’s MegaBit, SterrenStatuSs from SBV Excelsior, FOKUS Clan’s Proownezyt and, with home advantage, FC Twente’s Emrebenil_7.
The draw for the semi-finals will take place at 5pm (BST) when the broadcast starts, live on Goal’s Twitch channel and Facebook .
