FIFA eWorld Cup 2018-finalerne slog seerrekord

FIFA eWorld Cup 2018-finalerne er afsluttet, og noget tyder på at i forhold til ren og skær popularitet blandt seere verden over, så er det en stor succes. FIFA har nemlig afsløret via deres hjemmeside, at finalen har slået seerrekord, og samlet over 29 millioner views på tværs af alle de platforme den blev sendt.

Dette repræsenterer en stigning på hele 400% sammenlignet med 2017 FIFA Interactive World Cup Final, og det er en fordobling sammenlignet med Global Series Playoffs i Amsterdam, der blev afviklet i maj måned.

Under selve begivenheden fortalte FIFA's direktør for marketing, Jean-Francois Pathy:

"This year's FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final was an important milestone in the progress and continued professionalization of competitive FIFA gaming. Following the move to a new venue and a new format, the success of this year has underlined the unique opportunity that competitive FIFA gaming has to engage with new fans and audiences, as well as how it can support FIFA's ongoing efforts to drive interest and develop football around the world."

"With a 400 percent increase in viewership from 2017 to 2018, we are thrilled with this year's results and look forward to our continued partnership with EA Sports and accelerating our programs in the coming year."</em>
