Vuma connects Julio ‘Beast’ Bianchi to his FIFAe Club World Cup dream in Dubai
This year’s FIFAe Club Series 2022 and EA Global Series 1v1 qualifiers are set to kick off with nail-biting rounds that have kept players and fans glued to their screens! As part of Vuma's 2021 sponsorship, Bianchi is attending a bootcamp in Dubai ahead of his qualifiers, where he can practice against some of the world’s best players.
Taking this opportunity to help more young South African players turn their passion for the virtual game into a lucrative career, we at Vuma have partnered with Goliath Gaming to sponsor Julio ‘Beast’ Bianchi as he competes for gold in these prestigious tournaments.
Additionally, since his most formidable opponents come from the Middle East and Egypt, the distance between him and them prevents him from having an even contest when he connects to matches from South Africa. By playing from Dubai, Bianchi gets to compete against these high-skilled opponents on a level playing field, allowing him to get the results he needs to progress through the tournaments.
Bianchi’s first tournament is round one of the FIFAe Club Series 2022 qualifiers on 10 and 11 February. He and his partner will be competing in the Middle East and African zone against some of the top FIFA clubs in the region.
Soon after, he takes to the virtual pitch for the EA Global Series 1v1 qualifier number two on 12 and 13 February. Here, the top 32 players from Africa battle it out over four qualifying rounds to get as many Global Series points as possible to secure their spot at the Global Series Playoffs later this year.
“I’m super excited and hungry for success, especially because I can now play most of the Middle Eastern and North African opponents in Dubai, which gives me an excellent opportunity to test myself and hopefully maximise the results,” says Bianchi.
“Thanks to Vuma, I’m can do things I’ve never done before, and that’s what I aim to do and what I’m all about – breaking boundaries and breaking records,” he adds. Bianchi put up an incredible fight during last year’s EA Sports FIFA Global Series, which saw him become the first African player to qualify for the FIFAe World Cup in London. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament had to be cancelled.
