Ireland’s official pathway into EA SPORTS FC Pro returns with ELOI 2026, powered by WYLDE ⚡
As Ireland’s national pathway within the EA SPORTS FC Pro global circuit, the ELOI continues to provide a structured route from domestic competition to the highest levels of international football esports. All 20 SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division clubs are represented, with players competing for the opportunity to progress to the UEFA eChampions League and the FC Pro World Championship Play-Ins.
Since launch in 2021, the ELOI has developed into more than an annual tournament. It is now a defined competitive framework that connects traditional football communities with Ireland’s growing esports ecosystem. This year introduces a dedicated U18 qualifier pathway, creating a clearer development route for emerging players and strengthening the foundation for long term progression. Structured national competition matters - particularly for young players navigating competitive gaming environments.
At WYLDE, competitive performance and grassroots talent development sit at the core of what we do. Delivering ELOI 2026 reflects that commitment - building an environment that supports integrity, progression and meaningful international opportunity.
The Finals will take place live at Ireland’s National Esports Centre in Cork, with national broadcast via the FAI YouTube channel.
Registration for the March 4th and 5th online qualifiers is now open. Register today HERE
