Over 20 million participants have been whittled down to just 32 in this year's eWorld Cup.

While the eyes of the world are fixed on the 'real' World Cup, a sub-sect of society have their eyes on a very different prize.

Competitive gamers from all over the world will come together for the eWorld Cup Grand Final that takes place from Thursday August 2 and Saturday August 4 in London at the O2.

The tournament pits the best players of EA Sports' FIFA '18 and is split into two separate categories - one for the Xbox One and the other for the Playstation 4.

England's two hopefuls this year - 'Crafty', along with last year's Champion Spencer 'Gorilla' Ealing - will both play in the Xbox half of the event.

Tickets are now on sale through AXS.com. You can purchase standard tickets for £10 or VIP for £25.

Previously known as the FIFA Interactive World Cup from 2004-2017, England, along with France, currently hold the record for the most wins with two golds and two silvers.

Last month, EA announced a free FIFA '18 World Cup content update for fans to play out their own version of the tournament.

You can now buy FIFA '18 off Amazon for less than £20 or pre-order FIFA '19 three days earlier that its release date on September 28.

FIFA '19 comes as either a Standard Edition game or as a 'Champions Edition' game.
