Ghana’s E-Football national team Black Asteroids to compete in FIFA E Nations Cup qualifiers

Ghana’s e-football national team, the Black Asteroids will compete in match weeks two and three of the FIFAe Nations Cup Series on January 26 and March 3, 2023 respectively.

This follows the team’s participation in week one of the tournament in Dubai in December last year for the FENC- Play-Ins, where one of the EA Servers is located in order to experience better game responsiveness.

The team is going through rigorous training sessions hoping to build and improve on the match-week one results with the experience and exposure they obtained in Dubai. Players have been training in Accra in readiness for the two remaining matches.

The Black Asteroids joined the FIFA_e Nations Cup Series 2022 in the online qualifiers stage as a new Member Association, where Ghana beat the group leaders but could not qualify for the next stage.

The competition is a 2v2 event and as such requires great chemistry between two players to be successful. The major obstacle the team faced was latency (or ping), which is the closeness to the EA servers and how swift and responsive the game will feel when you issue a command with your controller.

The Ghana Football Association has purchased the necessary gaming equipment to enable the team to prepare well for the FENC Play-Ins in 2023. The types of equipment consist of two sets of POGA Cases where each one containing a PS5 Console, two controllers, and an inbuilt monitor for easy gaming and mobility, four Logitech Pro Gaming Headsets were also purchased as well and a UPS to sustain the gameplay during power outages.

The Ghana Football Association will continue to provide the needed support for the team to reach higher heights.
