What is the FIFA Series?
The FIFA Series 2024 introduces a fresh concept to the world of football. It consists of friendly matches contested by national teams from different confederations—teams that don’t typically have the opportunity to face each other. This initiative aims to foster more meaningful interactions across continents, contributing significantly to global football development.
