Featuring the 2v2 match format – which sees two players play together as one team in the final round of each tie in the group stage, as well as the second match in the knockout phases – the FIFA eClub World Cup 2020 once again provided an opportunity for the community to showcase the world-class skills, tactical knowledge and excitement that is unique to competitive FIFA gaming.
