In a historic move, Pakistan Football Federation president Syed Mohsen Gilani has confirmed Pakistan’s participation in the FIFAe 2026 Season.
It marks the latest step taken by the PFF president to ensure Pakistan’s representation on the international stage continues, and across all platforms.
“We are committed to making most of the opportunity,” Mr. Gilani said. “It will provide a boost to the esports talent in Pakistan, especially those interested in football gaming.”
Pakistan will take part in the ‘eFootball™ Console’, one of three titles that are part of the competition.
“We are looking for the top gaming talent to come forward during the national activation and trials,” said Mr. Gilani.
“For the upcoming processes, the PFF will be seeking a national partner.”
Prospective partners will be asked to submit an expression of interest and a partnership plan.
The eligibility criteria for interested participants is as follows:
- Must be at least sixteen (16) years of age at the time of registration.
- Must have a registered FIFAe Player Account on FIFA.GG.
- Must not be subject to any active sanctions under the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS), any KONAMI-sanctioned tournaments, or any FIFAe competitions.
The trials will set the pathway towards selecting those who will go on to represent Pakistan in the 2026 FIFAe Season, which culminates with the 2026 FIFAe World Cup at the end of the year in Saudi Arabia.
