European football’s governing body is launching UEFA eEURO 2020.
The event gives all 55 national football associations in Europe an opportunity to qualify for next July’s final tournament in London
The national-team eFootball tournament featuring all 55 of UEFA’s national associations will be kicking off in November.
The players in the largest national-team eFootball event will see players compete exclusively on KONAMI’s eFootball PES 2020.
The video game will be dedicated to next summer’s UEFA EURO 2020 showpiece.
The competing countries will aim to qualify for the finals, slated for July 9 and 10 in London just before the final of the UEFA EURO 2020 at the Wembley Stadium on July 12, states a report on UEFA.com.
UEFA eEURO 2020 will have a specific team focus. Each participating national association will compete with a national eFootball team comprising between two and four players, who will represent their country in the pan-European event.
The competition format will be similar to UEFA EURO 2020.
It will involve a qualification phase and a final tournament, in which the players will face off against each other in London.
Between November and December 2019, each national association will nominate their team, with participants being chosen through either a domestic online or ‘physical’ tournament – unless a national eFootball team already exists.
An official draw will then take place to divide the competing countries into groups for the qualifying phase.
During the online qualification stage, every country will play two matches against the other countries in their group, with the team with the highest overall aggregate score being determined the winner.
The winner of each group and the best six runners-up will qualify for the final tournament in London.
