With the end of the different regional seasons all over the world, everything and everyone was ready for the most anticipated three FIFA tournaments, held in July and August of this year. We are talking about the FIFAe Nations Cup, FIFAe World Cup, and FIFAe Club World Cup.
After several weeks of back-and-forth action at the highest level, we already know the three names who have been added to the elite list of the World Champions. Speaking of which, the Brazilian team, the Spanish Movistar Riders, and the German Umut Gültekin did their best performance. Here you can get a journey and highlights of all these winners.
All clubs will appear in FIFA 22 with their real names, familiar logos and club colors. But they will be filled with generated players who do not exist in real football.
As such, young talent from Santos or Flamengo cannot be added to their Ultimate Team or bought in the Manager Career Mode. It’s a little sad: gamers have lost the chance to test both veterans like the Hulk and Dani Alves, and young stars who will shine in Europe in a year or two.

As for 2024, the three Spanish prospects, including AndoniiPM, Tuga, and Sergio Espier, have made history by winning the FIFA eClub World Cup.
