FIFA Interactive World Cup in Search of Next Virtual Star
FIFA, Electronic Arts, and PlayStation are teaming up to find the next best virtual football (soccer) player.
Since the launch of FIFA 08 last month, over 10,000 players from 25 countries and five continents have started battling for top position on the leader board in the online part of the competition via PLAYSTATION®Network.
The month of November has started off with the first live qualifying events, occurring in Denmark, the Netherlands, Hungary and will move on to Korea, Portugal and a total of over 20 locations across the world. The competition will last for five months.
“The FIFA Interactive World Cup is a fantastic opportunity for all football fans to show off their skills and passion for the sport with FIFA 08,” said Ronaldinho. “It is a great tournament in which you have to train and work hard to succeed – just like in real football, so I invite all fans to register and enjoy this party of interactive football.”
On May 24, 2008, the 32 finalists will travel to Berlin from the four corners of the world to compete at the Sony Centre for the ultimate title of FIFA Interactive World Player 2008. The winner will receive an invitation to the FIFA World Player Gala 2008 and a cash prize of $20,000 USD.
