FIFAe Club World Cup 2022 Format
Like most esports tournaments, FIFAe Club World Cup 2022 will have multiple stages. Teams that make it through the qualifiers and into the main stage will compete in the Group Stage and then the Knockout Stage, where they will try to claim victory.
Group Stage & Knockout Stage Breakdown
The first step of the tournament’s main stage will be the Group Stage. The 24 participants will be divided into four groups of 6 teams each. The teams in the groups will play each other twice in a Double Round-Robin format. In the tournament, which will be played in 2v2 Game Mode, each win in the Group Stage will be evaluated as 3 points, a draw as 1 point and a defeat as 0 points.
All matches will end in normal match time, there will be no overtime or penalties. At the end of the matches, the teams that finish in the top 4 of their groups will advance to the Knockout Stage.
Unlike the Group Stage, there will be no comeback for defeats in the Knockout Stage, since the games will be played as a Single Elimination. The matches will take place on July 22-23 and will be played over two legs.
