February 27 – CONCACAF is building on the success of its interactive Gold Cup last year and has launched the CONCACAF Interactive 2014 (#CI14), calling for fan and gamers across the region to compete for the title of CONCACAF Interactive Champion, as well as an all-expenses-paid trip for two to be guests at the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC) Grand Final 2014 this summer in Rio de Janeiro.
“We are pleased to introduce yet another CONCACAF interactive initiative designed for fans around our region,” said CONCACAF General Secretary Enrique Sanz. “Coming off the successful CONCACAF Interactive Gold Cup, we understand that the video gaming sector presents a new and interesting opportunity for fans in our region to gain even closer access to the sport we all love.”
The competition is open to gamers in all the CONCACAF countries but also to fans outside the confederation if they can demonstrate a legal tie to the country. Competitors compete for their country with six finalists emerging from the online qualifiers who will compete in the #CI14 Hexagonal Final to crown the Confederation champion.
Games are played on the PlayStation3 console and the online tournament will be held through FIFA Interactive World Cup 2014 (FIWC14) Season 6 (March 1 – April 1) via EA SPORTS™ FIFA14.
Game registration is at www.CONCACAFInteractive.com, which also allows the player to track their progress through a rating system provided by EA SPORTS™.
