The Portuguese Football Association (FPF) has launched a FIFA eSports league and full eSports division in partnership with German financial services company Allianz.
The free event, called the “Allianz Challenge” has over $22,000 worth of prizes and has now opened for gamers to apply for entry through an eSports website launched in conjunction with this league by the FPF. The competition is divided across PS4, Xbox One and PC and will initially be based online, until it is whittled down to the 16 best players across these three gaming platforms.
The final of the competition, with these 64 players, will be held at the FPF’s headquarters, called “The City of Football” in the Portuguese city of Oeiras in July.
