The FIFA eClub World Cup usually features 2v2 gameplay on two platforms in a LAN setting, but due to the global pandemic, this year's event has had a radical shake up. Organised by the football governing body and not EA, the 2021 eClub World Cup sees professional FIFA esports players compete in regional conferences and divisions under a club banner with the overall goal of reaching the finals in their respective region.
With over 450 clubs taking part across all regions, spots in the final of each region were always going to be fiercely contested. In Europe though, it's just got a whole lot harder. That's because FIFA says the European finals will now only contain the top 14 teams (essentially the top team from each of the 14 European conferences) rather than the previously billed 28 (top two from every conference).
According to a tweet from FIFA, a change in plans for the finals broadcast has forced them to cut the number of teams.
