EA Sports and FIFA has taken the next step for eFootball and competitive FIFA as they launch the FIFA 19 Global Series Rankings.

​

Players and fans will now be able to monitor the progress of competitive FIFA players as they gear up for the FIFA eWorld Cup held next year.

The FIFA 19 Global Series is the equivelant of the qualification for the eWorld Cup and now fans will be able to see the weekly standings of the top FIFA players. 

The rankings will be updated on FIFA.gg after Weekend League and compeititve events, allowing fans to monitor the season results as they progress. 

Tournaments hosted by the likes of Playstation, Professional Gamers League and Gfinity among others will be included in the FIFA 19 Global Series.

The first eFootball tournament of the season is set to kick off in Bucharest on November 30 held over three days, with 21 nations represented in the FUT Champions Cup. 

​

FIFA Chief Digitial Transformation & Innovation Officer, Luis Vicente said: "The FIFA 19 Global Series Rankings will provide fans with a dedicated platform to follow the top players on the Road to the FIFA eWorld Cup, as well as establishing a regular worldwide competition ranking to further underline the exciting growth and professionalization of eFootball. 

"Fans are now able to keep track on the results of their favourite players, and competitors themselves are able to monitor their standings during the season.

"We are looking forward to finding out who the best 32 competitors will be at the end of the season and welcoming them at the FIFA eWorld Cup 2019."

Last years FIFA eWorld Cup final was held in London and was won by Saudi Arabia's Mosaad Aldossary as he defeated Belgian player, Stefano Pinna.

Aldossary had his say on the move: "The introduction of a new and dedicated world ranking for FIFA gaming is a fantastic step forward by FIFA and EA SPORTS.

"Not only will it help me track the progress of my rivals throughout the season, the FIFA 19 Global Series World Rankings will play an important role in further raising the profile of competitive FIFA gaming around the world and keep fans and the general public updated on who is in contention to compete to become FIFA eWorld Cup Champion at the end of the season.”
