Moroccan Anas Moussa delivered an outstanding performance and won the silver medal at the FIFAe World Cup 2024 in eFootball-Mobile in Riyadh.
Moussa failed in the final, losing to the Malaysian representative and collecting US$15,000 in prize money.
After defeating the Thai team representative in the semi-finals, he becomes the first Arab and African player to reach this round.
Moussa qualified after his victory in the e-Mountakhab, organized by the Royal Moroccan Federation of Electronic Games in collaboration with FIFA and with the participation of the top 100 Moroccan players from around the world.
The Moroccan player stood out in the competition by finishing second in his group before defeating the South Korean representative in a two-legged tie and securing a historic victory over the Thai representative in both games.
FIFAe World Cup 2024 is an official eSports competition organized by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and played offline. It began in 2004 with the first FIFA Interactive World Cup and has developed into a professional sport in recent years, which is now reflected in its own brand, FIFAe.
FIFAe is an entertainment platform for fans and brands that ushers in a new era that dissolves the boundaries between football and eFootball.
