FIFA will hold this year’s eClub World Cup at AMP Studios in Paris, France from May 19th to 20th.

16 professional esports teams will compete at the FIFA tournament, including a handful of top UK players such as UNILAD’s Xbox One player Spencer “Gorilla” Ealing and PS4 player Shaun “Shellz” Springette, Hashtag United’s Ryan Pessoa (who’s also sponsored by Red Bull), Method’s Owen “Venny” Venn and Lightning Pandas’ Sean “Dragon” Allen (Xbox players).

The competition is a part of EA Sports’ FIFA 18 Global Series on the Road to the FIFA eWorld Cup, the top FIFA esports tournament which was won by Gorilla last year.

You can check out a video interview by Esports News UK with Shellz, Ryan Pessoa and Chris Bullock here.

Esports teams participating in the FIFA eClub World Cup not only compete for a total prize pool of $50,000, but also for four qualification spots in the FIFA 18 Global Series Playoffs. At the playoffs, 64 players on Xbox One and 64 players on PlayStation 4 will fight for their places at the FIFA eWorld Cup 2018 Grand Final.
