Last season ended quite poorly for competitive FIFA Esports. Indeed, with the cancellation of the last two events of the year, no climax was ever reached. However, EA hope to change things this ucpoming season. Read on as we discuss FIFA Esports 2022 in this episode of Esports Roadmap!
FIFA Esports 2022 – Building Up to the World Cup
Indeed, this year we’re witnessing an expanding programme which is rather exciting.
Credits: EA Games
Supposedly, this coming year will see FIFA climb the ranks. Thanks to FIFA (the football organization), working with EA Games, the esport is now open to over 70 countries.
Competitions will range from 1v1 to 2v2 matches, with representation ranging from individuals, esports organizations, clubs and even nationalities.
Accordingly, the following are the three programmes to look out for:
FIFAe Club Series 2022
FIFAe Nations Series 2022
EA SPORTS FIFA 22 Global Series – builing up to the FIFAe World Cup 2022
As qualifications have already begun, FIFA also looks to benefit from a tonne of third party events, partnering with football leagues across the world.
Let’s hope that nothing gets cancelled this year and FIFA gets to progress as we expect it to.
When it comes to competitive FIFA, Ultimate Team is one of the main avenues that players compete against one another. Accordingly, that’s why the FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is on the community’s mind. Read on to learn about some details EA just made public for the upcoming title of FIFA 22!
FIFA 22 Ultimate Team – Overhauled
In a lengthy article you may view here, EA Games truly dived into each detailed change for the upcoming title’s mode. Below we’ve listed some key facts:
Division Rivals – seasonal progression system and addition of Elite Division for the best in the world to compete in. Otherwise, progression and weekly match requirements look to be made clearer to allow for a competitive environment.

FUT Champions – fewer matches a week to allow easier accessibility, spread throughout the week with the addition of Champions Play-Offs and Finals. Also, next year it will be a point-based system instead of simply wins.
Co-Op Public Matchmaking – a new mode for FUT Friendlies. Accordingly, co-op teams may go against one another using publically available squads.
Changes to the Main Menu with a more organized look
With plans to cover the FIFAe World Cup 2021 this coming week, we’re a little disappointed. Accordingly, a few days ago EA Games announced the cancellation of this event. Read on to learn more about this announcement.
FIFAe World Cup and Nations Cup – Not Safe Enough
Credits: FIFA
The reasons for the cancellation are quite obvious. Indeed, EA Games has deemed the event to be too difficult to host. Here’s what EA Games had to say behind this announcement:
Unfortunately, the FIFAe Nations Cup 2021™ and World Cup 2021™ have been subject to the disruptive effect of the ongoing pandemic and subsequent global travel restrictions currently in place for qualified teams and players from around the world.
Both events were scheduled for August and both have been cancelled.

To compensate to players, the full amount of prize pool will be equally distributed between all qualified players and associations.
Of course, although justifiable, it cannot be said that hosting an offline event is impossible. Accordingly, with other esports managing to do so, it’s certainly frustrating for FIFA esports fans.
Bearing in mind the cancellation of largest events for the summer with regards to FIFA, we’re curious to see what comes next with FIFA 22.
It’s that time of year again for competitive FIFA. Indeed, next year’s title has been revealed just like clockwork. However, with FIFA 22 Revealed, is there anything new to look forward to? Accordingly, read on as we highlight some of the changes which are being promised to the community. Let’s see what we know so far.
What does this all mean? Unfortunately, no massive new changes have been announced so far. Accordingly, the community is waiting for perhaps more incentive for this year. However, there is still plenty of time for EA Sports to show off their game.
All we’re interested in is that the game makes for some awesome esports.
Only a week ago, we were previewing the FIFA 21 Global Series Xbox Europe Playoffs – an event which was simply awesome! Indeed, now we’ve moved on to the next big thing. Accordingly, the FIFA 21 Global Series PS4 Europe Playoffs kicks off shortly and we’re ready for it. Read on to learn How to Watch the event below!
Event Background

In terms of context, this event is massive for players to make a name for themselves in their respective region. Here, EA will be putting $400,000 of prize pool on the line. Running from the 9th to the 11th July, we have 64 of the best competitive FIFA 21 players going at it for pride and prize.
Do note, that apart from prize and pride, there are also seeds for the FIFAe World Cup 2021 for the top 9 players. For those unaware, this will likely be the largest event of the year in a LAN environment with $500,000 on the line in August – definitely worth playing for.
Usually, here at esportsguide we list all the participating players and teams for context, but in this case, 32 players is a little too long of a list. For a full list of competitors we recommend visiting the event page here.
Format
In terms of format, the event will run similar to the Xbox One event which was held last week. To start the online event off, a Group Stage will help cut the competition in half. Notably, the 32 players will be thrown into a Swiss Round format meaning that multiple rounds will determine the top 16 individuals at the event.

Where will these top 16 individuals progress to? They’ll be seeded into the Playoffs, which will consists of a Double Elimination bracket format. For unaware readers, this will give competitors a second chance to stay in the competition following a loss, providing both competition and drama to through rematches.
Schedule for the FIFA 21 Global Series PS4 EU Playoffs

Bearing this in mind, Hashtag Tom sits as the natural favorite for the event. However, we all know that competitive FIFA is a matter of matching up well against your opinion. Anyone can take the victory, but everyone wants a spot in the top 9.
