After months of qualifying matches and playoffs, the finals of the Fifa eWorld Cup 2019 are here. 

The top 32 competitive Fifa players from around the world have gathered at the O2 in London to compete for the eWorld Cup trophy and the honour of being named the best Fifa player in 2019.

The victor will also take home a $250,000 (£210,000) grand prize, as well as win a trip to the Best Fifa Football Awards

The first part of the tournament will consist of four groups, each consisting of eight players. Seven rounds of matches will determine who goes through to the Round of 16, with the top four players from each group qualifying for the knock-out stages.

The Round of 16 will see the best-placed finishers of the group stages face off against the lower-placed qualifiers, with only the winners of this round going through to the Quarter-Finals. From here the winners go to the Semi-Finals and then, if they keep winning, onto the Final.

Up until the Final, players will be playing against other players on their preferred console, as the World Cup is split into two streams for Xbox and Playstation right until the final. It is then that the best Playstation player and best Xbox player face each other, with the Final consisting of a two-leg tie consisting of one match each on the Playstation and Xbox.

Day one and day two of the tournament will sort out the group stages and the Round of 16. The final day will then see the Semi-finals and Final. 

Here's how the full schedule lines up, according to Fifa.
