Background
editRocket League was announced as one of the two games to be played alongside Football Manager (and later eFootball) at the 2024 FIFAe World Cup in June 2024.[1][2]
Format
editNations will send a team of three plus one alternate for the tournament.[3] The participating nations may opt for a qualification process or internally select the team that will represent their country.
Teams
edit16 nations were selected by FIFA to compete in the tournament based on playerbase and previous performances; initially this was announced to be based on the number of representatives from each country in previous Rocket League Majors.[4] Each nation will be responsible for organizing their own qualifying tournaments for the competition, otherwise they can invite their own set of players.[5] The first three nations were announced on 9 August, with the rest being announced on 11, 13, 15 and 17 August.
