17 April 2020

Web Nasri and fantom to represent Japan at FIFA eNations Cup 2020

JFA has announced the players of Japan eNational Team.

Ahead of the “FIFA eNations Cup 2020,” JFA was originally scheduled to host the “FIFA eNations Cup 2020 JFA Qualifier” to determine the players of Japan eNational Team. However, with the cancellation of the qualifier, JFA has determined to name two players, Web Nasri (Kashima Antlers) and fantom (SCARZ), who were highly ranked in the “EA SPORTS FIFA 20 GLOBAL SERIES” (as of 27 February*) to represent the Japanese team.
*The original qualifier was scheduled to be competed among top ranked players as of 27 February.

Players of Japan eNational Team are scheduled to take part in “Sports assist you ~What sports can do for you now~” and other charity events, as well as training activities ahead of future international tournaments and events to promote eSports. However, to prioritise the health of these players and everybody involved in the events, all activities of Japan eNational Team will be conducted remotely to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Details of future events will be announced in due course.
