India to be part of FIFAe Nations Series 2022

New Delhi, Oct 28 (Esports news) India will be a part of the FIFAe Nations Series 2022 (FeNS22), the flagship competitive gaming series of FIFA for its member associations.

The tournament will be contested by FIFAe national teams.

India, currently ranked 23 out of 60 in the FIFAe nations ranking, will contest from the Asia and Oceania region.

If it is unable to qualify through the Play-ins, India will get another chance for qualification through the FIFAe Nations Online Qualifier 2022 main stage. At this stage, the team will compete against newly on-boarded member associations for FeNS22 and other returning member associations from FeNS21 for a spot in the playoffs.

The FIFAe Nations Playoffs 2022 is expected to take place in June 2022, and the pinnacle event — the FIFAe Nations Cup 2022 — is expected to be hosted in July 2022.

A total of 23 national squads qualifying from the playoffs, joined by the host nation, will take part in the FIFAe Nations Cup 2022.

Meanwhile, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) will host the second edition of its national qualifying event — AIFF eFootball Challenge to select gamer athletes for its FIFAe national squad for the 2022 season.
