2024 FIFA Series |
The competition brings together men's national teams from all six FIFA confederations in a series of mini-tournaments, each consisting of four teams and held at a centralised venue during the FIFA match window in March of every even-numbered year.[1][2] FIFA provides financial support to the participating national teams and is also in charge of organising the tournaments together with the host member association.[3]
On 16 December 2022, FIFA launched a friendly competition proposal, named the "FIFA World Series", in order to give national teams from different confederations more opportunities to play against each other.[1][4][5] FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed the competition on 16 March 2023, following his re-election to the post during the 73rd FIFA Congress in Kigali, Rwanda.[3]
The inaugural edition in 2024 will feature five different series, taking place across four host countries during the FIFA match window from 18 to 26 March 2024.[2]
On 19 March 2024, FIFA announced Egypt to host the FIFA Series: Egypt matches.[6] The matches were originally meant to be played in UAE with the tournament called Winsunited Cup, later changed to ACUD Cup, now FIFA Series: Egypt.[7][8]
