Fifa, Xbox, and EA Sports Combine to Bring FIFA Interactive Word Cup Can't Post

FIFA, Xbox, and Electronic Arts, the world's leading interactive entertainment software company, today announced the planned tournament details and schedule for the recently announced FIFA Interactive World Cup, the world's first ever, FIFA sanctioned, video game tournament.

The FIFA Interactive World Cup is a new video game tournament combining on- and off-line football gaming action featuring EA's FIFA Football 2005 on Xbox and Xbox Live. The FIFA Interactive World Cup will travel to six continents from October to December 2004, offering football fans a chance to win the ultimate video game bragging rights - being named FIFA Interactive World Player 2004 - as well as sharpening up football skills with the pros, enjoying music from big-name DJs, and lots of surprises.

There are four ways to enter the FIFA Interactive World Cup, which will see more than 8,000 players (plus contestants from the Xbox Live community of more than one million gamers) competing all over the world :

Register at www.FIFAinteractiveworldcup.com
Register on site at regional tournament venues
Earn a place by playing FIFA Football 2005 on Xbox Live
Win a local qualifying tournament.

Kicking off in October, the FIFA Interactive World Cup will travel to nine cities in six continents:

Johannesburg - 24th October
New York - 30th October
Rio de Janeiro - 6th November
Sydney - 13th November
London - 20th November
Seoul - 27th November
Paris - 4th December
Berlin - 11th December
Zurich (FINALS) - 19th December
As players compete to be the best player of FIFA Football 2005 at each regional final, they will also be able to sharpen their real-world football skills through various separate side activities. Contestants waiting for their turn on the tournament pods will be able to practice their moves with the help of professional football players

"The FIFA Interactive World Cup tournaments will be a great day out for football fans everywhere," said Peter Moore, Corporate Vice President, Retail Sales and Marketing, Xbox. "As well as experiencing the excitement of FIFA Football 2005 from EA and Xbox Live, contestants and their friends will find no shortage of other interactive and 'real-life' activities. Being named FIFA Interactive World Player 2004 is the ultimate in bragging rights and we know the competition will be fierce."
