Difficulty Levels

Before starting, you can select your preferred difficulty level. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed experience or a tougher challenge, there are six difficulty settings available:

• Beginner
• Amateur
• Semi Pro
• Professional
• World Class
• Legendary

You can manually choose which nations participate in the Round of 16 or use the Shuffle button to generate a random bracket. Once you’re happy with the setup, press Continue to begin the tournament.

After confirming the bracket, you can customize your squad, choose your formation, set your starting XI, adjust your bench, or even build a nostalgic lineup using ICON Players.

Your goal is simple: win four consecutive knockout matches and lift the championship trophy.

Rewards

Unlike most event modes, The World’s Game Tournament does not provide direct rewards for winning matches or progressing through the bracket.

Whether you reach the Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, or even win the entire tournament, you will not receive rewards directly from the mode itself.

Instead, the rewards are tied to the Quest system. By completing specific tournament objectives, you can earn Gems, Rank Up Points, FC Draft Vouchers, and more.

Quests

Play The World’s Game Tournament and complete the following objectives to earn rewards.

Is It Worth Playing?

If you’re looking for a fun single-player experience and want to represent your favorite nation on the road to World Cup glory, The World’s Game Tournament is worth trying. The mode lets you experiment with different national teams, difficulty levels, and tournament brackets while completing Quests for valuable rewards.

The biggest rewards come from the higher difficulty objectives, especially those requiring World Class and Legendary wins. Players looking to maximize their rewards should focus on completing those challenges before the main World’s Game event arrives.
