All details and rules for each FIWC Regional Qualifier will also be available on site at those events.

Clubs who have an eSport player representing them are invited to send one PlayStation and Xbox

representative to the FIFA Interactive Club World Cup 2017 (“FICWC17”). Two qualification places for the

FIWC17 grand final tournament (the “FIWC17 Grand Final”) are available through this (one for each

platform) tournament. The Players compete until there is a champion on each platform and these two

Players shall qualify for the FIWC17 Grand Final.

1.2 The FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament

1.2.1 The FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament is a Local Qualifier Tournament to the FIWC Regional

Qualifier (Europe region), where competitors play against each other using the FIFA 17 game in FUT

champions mode, in a skills based competition. The overall winner of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier

3

Tournament will qualify directly to the FIWC Regional Qualifer (Europe region).

1.2.2 The FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament will consist of eight rounds, which will take place

approximately once a month (exact dates of which shall be communicated by way of the official FIWC17

pages on the FIFA website, www.FIFA.com/FIWC, by way of FIFA World Football Museum website:

www.FIFAmuseum.com, via local media, via messaging from EA, or via other media) until the final of the

FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament (the “FWFM Final”), which will take place in summer 2017 (the

exact date of which shall be communicated by way of the official FIWC17 pages on the FIFA website,

www.FIFA.com/FIWC, by way of FIFA World Football Museum website: www.FIFAmuseum.com, via local

media, via messaging from EA, or via other media). The eight rounds will be played in “group stage”

mode. The overall winner of each of the eight rounds will qualify to participate in the FWFM Final, where

the eight finalists shall compete in order to become the overall winner of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier

Tournament and guarantee themselves a place to compete in the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe

region).

1.2.3 Players may register to participate in the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament via the following

confirmation email if they are successfully registered. The number of Players per round shall be limited to

32. Players may only register for the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament if they are aged 16 or over at

the time of participating in the relevant round. Players who are successfully registered to compete at a

round of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament will be required to show proof of their age before

partipating in such event. Players who do not succeed in coming top of their relevant round to enable

them to qualify for the FWFM Final, may reapply to play in another round of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier

Tournament (such re-application shall be considered on a “first-come, first-served” basis as previously).

1.2.4 A diagram representing the set up of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament is set out below:

1.2.5 The FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament will take place at “Sportsbar 1904”, located at the FIFA

1.2.6 FIFA and/or FIFA World Football Museum reserves the right to provide a substitute in the event that

the winner of one or more of the eight rounds are unable to take part in the FWFM Final.

Local Live Qualifier Tournament), each Player participating in the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament

shall be required to select a first and a second national team (in order of preference), which he/she is to

use in the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament and must inform the FIFA World Football Museum of

their choices during the registration process (as detailed in paragraph 1.2.3). The same national team

cannot be used by both Players in any given match during the FWFM Local Live Qualifier rounds or during

the FWFM Final (as applicable). All Players will have to play with the first of their two selected national

team. In the event of a clash of chosen national teams in any given match, the Player who registered first

to participate in a given round of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament, or the Player who qualified

first for the FWFM Final (as applicable), as determined by the FIFA World Football Museum, will have the

right to play with his/her selected first national team. FIFA World Football Museum shall confirm to

Players by e-mail, following the rule above, the national team they have been designated to play with

5

during a given round of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier or the FWFM Final (in the event of a clash of

national team choice between Players).

accompanied by at least one adult (parent or legal guardian) of 18 years of age or older, to attend the

FIWC Regional Qualifer (Europe region). FIFA and/or the FIFA World Football Museum reserves the right

to provide a substitute in the event that the winner of FWFM Final is for whatever reason unable to take

part in the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region). Such substitute will consist of the next ranked runner-

up of the winner of the FWFM Final.

1.3 Prizes and Expenses concerning the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament

1.3.1 FIFA World Football Museum shall cover certain travel and accommodation costs of the winner of

the FWFM Final of the FWFM Local Live Qualifier Tournament so that she/he may attend the FIWC

Qualifier (Europe region) city for a maximum of two (2) nights, together with transport between such

claims, if any, for relief (including restitution) against FIFA/the FIFA World Football Museum/EA and their

respective bodies, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, sponsors and any other entity or person acting

on their behalf should the purpose of such ancillary expenses be or become in whole or in part frustrated

for any reason whatsoever (e.g. an event for which a winner has won a trip that cannot, for whatever

reason, be held as scheduled or if the winner is prohibited from attending a specific event/football match,

for whatever reason). Insurance is the personal responsibility of the winner (with regard to both

themselves and any person accompanying them, if applicable), in this regard participants in the FIWC17

6

(including the FIWC Local Live Qualifier Tournament and the FIWC Regional Qualifier) who travel as part

of the competition must ensure that they (and, where applicable, the person accompanying them) have

appropriate travel insurance cover for the duration of their trip.

1.3.2 The FIFA World Football Museum reserves the right to hold the winner responsible for the costs of

the above in the event that such winner takes the flight to the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region)

but, without good reason, fails to attend the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region) and/or its award

ceremonies (if any); or if the winner does not hold a valid passport, travel documents, or visa for travel

and does not inform the FIFA World Football Museum of this within four weeks of the FIWC Regional

Qualifier (Europe region) taking place.

1.3.3 The winner (and any person accompanying the winner, if applicable) is responsible for securing their

own visa(s) to attend the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region), if applicable. If the winner is unable to

secure a visa for any reason, they will be disqualified from the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region).

1.3.5 The winner’s prize of having the right to qualify to the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region) is

non-transferable or exchangeable and no cash alternatives will be offered. FIFA and/or the FIFA World

Football Museum reserves the right to withdraw any prize at any time at its sole discretion.

1.3.6 Where the winner is a Minor (as defined in clause 5.5 below), the FIFA World Football Museum may

at its absolute discretion (but without any obligation to do so) cover those travel and accommodation

costs listed under 1.3.1 (i-iii) above for the legal guardian of such Minor, to assist the legal guardian to

attend the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region) with the winner.

1.4 General provisions

1.4.1 FIFA and/or the FIFA World Football Museum will contact the winner of the FWFM Local Live

Qualifier Tournament who qualifies for the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region) via e-mail or

otherwise to confirm to them their qualification for the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe region). The

winner will be given seven (7) days (or such shorter time period as FIFA and/or the FIFA World Football

Museum may state in the confirmation), from the date the e-mail is sent, to respond. In the event that

the winner fails to respond appropriately within such period, FIFA and/or the FIFA World Football Museum

shall be entitled to select an alternative Player to participate in the FIWC Regional Qualifier (Europe

region), choosing the next ranked runner-up to the winner who took part in the FWFM Final.
