Loco teams up with FIFAe to bring FIFAe Pinnacle Events to India

Loco, India’s largest and fastest growing game streaming platform, has been at the forefront of developing new esports categories in India. The platform has now announced a broadcast agreement with FIFA, football’s international governing body to bring the centerpiece of the FIFA esports experience - FIFAe World Cup 2022™, FIFAe Club World Cup 2022™, and FIFAe Nations Cup 2022™ to fans across India

FIFA 2022 is well-known for the competitive spirit it builds upon with several international tournaments held all over the globe. With the title getting more prominent than ever, so has the competition, with many new players and nations emerging.

India's performance has been on the rise, and its pinnacle was seen in June when the nation made history by qualifying for the FIFAe Nations Cup 2022. Thanks to Loco, all the fans across the country will be able to watch their favorite players fight it out in different tournaments.

FIFA 2022 has improved the competitive spirit already present for a long time. The Ultimate Team mode is considered by many to be the actual test as users create the best teams possible to take on each other.

Loco has decided to partner with the FIFAe series and arrange for the telecast of three events. FIFAe Nations Cup 2022 might be the one that will attract most fans, but there are two more tournaments as the first season of FIFAe looks to have several mouthwatering clashes.
