Roblox and FIFA have collaborated to launch FIFA World, a virtual experience that allows fans of FIFA in the Roblox community to celebrate the rich heritage of football and its most famous events. Players will be able to hang out in social spaces, earn rewards, and collect items through challenges. FIFA World will also offer video content from FIFA+’s library, in-game events, and guest appearances from Pedri and Lena Oberdorf.
FIFA World will be updated and improved over time in order to adapt to commemorate FIFA's most famous competitions, like the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
“As part of our commitment to grow football and develop ways for new fans to engage with the sport, FIFA’s immersive experience on Roblox will provide football fans with a hugely exciting new way to interact with friends, celebrate the rich culture and heritage around the world’s biggest sports competition, and demonstrate their creativity and national pride through various features and mechanics,” said FIFA Chief Business Officer, Romy Gai.
