Following its recent inclusion in the FIFAe World Cup, eFootball, the football simulation game of Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. (KONAMI), the leading video game developer and publisher from Japan is all set to feature at DreamHack India 2024.

With the recent partnership between FIFA and Konami, eFootball was added as an official title in the FIFAe World Cup 2024, joining other titles such as Rocket League and Football Manager. India is among 18 countries invited to compete in eFootball on both mobile and console platforms at the global tournament, alongside nations such as Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Spain, and Portugal.

As the biggest gaming festival of the country, DreamHack India is marking its fifth anniversary this year. Konami’s eFootball showcase will be a major highlight of the event, reflecting the title’s growing popularity in the country.

The event will witness two of Indian esports and gaming’s biggest personalities, Jonathan Amaral (Jonathan) and Ujjwal Chaurasia (TechnoGamerz) facing off in an electrifying eFootball showdown at the Hitex Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad from November 15 to 17.

Having consistently made his mark in national as well as international tournaments, Jonathan is celebrated not only as one of India’s top esports athletes but also as a prominent content creator, with 6.5 million subscribers on YouTube. TechnoGamerz, on the other hand, stands as one of the biggest gaming creators globally, with an impressive 43.2 million YouTube subscribers.

In addition to the exhibition match, Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. (KONAMI), the leading video game developer and publisher from Japan will also be hosting other exciting activities at the eFootball zone at DreamHack India 2024.

These will include 1v1 eFootball matches, live game demonstrations led by Konami’s experts, and trivia challenges offering cool rewards. The event will also feature crowd engagement activities such as juggling and dribbling challenges to bring the football stadium vibe to the floor.

Throughout the event, participants will have the chance to win limited-edition eFootball merchandise, making every activity a memorable experience.
