The EA Sports FIFA 18 Global Series on The Road to the FIFA eWorld Cup 2018, is a landmark competition slated to bring global excitement to millions of competitors and spectators, set to kick off today.
“This expanded, unified ecosystem between EA and FIFA exponentially increases the scale of competitive FIFA year-over-year and kicks off Friday, November 3,” says a statement from EA.
The event will finish in style with the showpiece event, the FIFA eWorld Cup 2018, where a single winner will be crowned undisputed FIFA world champion in August 2018.
