FIFA, Xbox, and Electronic Arts today announced that the third annual FIFA Interactive World Cup will start on October 27th, and football fans from around the world will have the opportunity to compete in the world’s only FIFA-sanctioned global video game tournament.

“The FIFA Interactive World Cup unites the passion for football with the world of interactive entertainment. Gamers are battling it out for an official FIFA award that places interactive football in the same bracket as its offline parent competitions - the various FIFA World Cups played on traditional means. We are pleased that we are able to pay tribute to this special category of football players and are greatly looking forward to this year’s already third edition. The FIFA Interactive World Cup gives us the chance to further promote the game on a complete different level”, says Urs Linsi, FIFA General Secretary.
“We’re thrilled to work with our friends at FIFA and Xbox to bring the third FIFA Interactive World Cup to football fans and gamers across the world,” said Clive Downie, Vice President International Marketing, EA. “This year, we’re putting contestants even closer to the virtual football action with all new FIFA 07 gameplay action on the Xbox 360. Check out the exclusive demo of the game on Xbox Live Marketplace and start practising for your chance to take home the ultimate winner’s prize of $20,000 and a trip to the FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich.”
