Ready to take your FIFA (or now EA Sports FC), as they call it now, skills from the couch to the competition level? Globally known as one of the most popular games, with millions of players challenging each other online daily, your tournament will be a hit!

Whether you're a seasoned FIFA champion or just love a good game of knockouts with your mates, planning the ultimate FIFA tournament can be the highlight of your weekend.

This guide will show you how to set up the best multiplayer FIFA event, complete with snacks, drinks, and the perfect gaming setup. Let’s dive into the world of soccer and get your tournament started!

1. Set Up Tournament Bracket 

First things first, you need to plan the tournament structure. Are you going for a knockout style or a round-robin tournament? Use an online bracket generator or watch a YouTube video to make things easier and more professional.

If you have a large group, round-robin ensures everyone gets a fair number of games. This is the perfect way to see who truly is the best among your friends and avoid any "lucky win" claims.

2. The Perfect Gaming Setup 

A successful tournament starts with the right equipment. Head over to Game at Capegate to pick up any extra controllers or even a new console if needed. Ensure everyone has a comfortable seat and your screen is big enough for split-screen action, if necessary. This setup will make your gaming experience seamless and enjoyable.

3. Fueling The Competition 

No gaming event is complete without snacks. Stock up on chips, dips, and other finger foods from Checkers. Look for quick and easy options such as finger foods or your favourite chips. A mix of sweet and savoury will keep everyone satisfied throughout the event. Don’t forget the drinks! Cold drinks and energy drinks are must-haves to keep the energy levels high.

Pizza Party: The Ultimate Gaming Food

When it comes to sustenance, pizza is a crowd favourite. Order a variety of pizzas from Debonairs. Opt for classic flavours like Margherita and Something Meaty, but don’t shy away from trying some of their speciality pizzas. Pizza is perfect for its simplicity and ability to keep one hand free for the controller!

Sweet Treats to Keep You Going 

For a sweet treat, grab a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. These are perfect for a mid-tournament sugar rush. The variety of flavours ensures there’s something for everyone, and they’re easy to eat without taking a break from the game.

Fast Food for Fast Gamers 

If you want a quick and satisfying meal option, McDonald’s has you covered. From burgers to nuggets, the menu offers a variety of options that can be made quickly and enjoyed mess-free. This is perfect for when you need a quick break but don’t want to lose momentum in the tournament.

4. Choosing the Game Modes 

Decide on the game modes you’ll be playing. Co-op, online friendlies, tournaments and FIFA Ultimate Team are popular options. Co-op allows you to team up with a friend and compete online, while online friendlies are great for head-to-head matches. Experiment with different modes to keep the tournament exciting and competitive.

5. Customising Your Teams 

Allow players to customise their teams. Whether you’re playing with club teams or national squads, customisation adds a personal touch to the tournament. If you’re playing FIFA Ultimate Team, ensure everyone has a chance to build their best squad before the tournament starts. This will be the true test of who has the best management skills in addition to gaming prowess.

6. Keep It Social 

Make the event as social as possible. Encourage trash talk and banter, but keep it friendly, of course. Set up a group chat or a social media event to share highlights and results. You can even stream the tournament on platforms like Twitch for added excitement. This way, friends who couldn’t make it can still be part of the fun.

The Final Whistle 

Organising a FIFA tournament is all about bringing friends together for a fun and competitive experience. From planning the tournament bracket to stocking up on snacks from Checkers and pizza from Debonairs, every detail counts towards creating the ultimate gaming event. 

With the right setup, food, and game modes, you’ll have a tournament that is talked about for weeks. Head to Capegate and grab everything you need to secure the perfect day with your buddies. Now, get ready to lift the virtual trophy and claim bragging rights as the FIFA champion among your friends!
