“I am delighted to be a part of this year’s FIWC Grand Final. The tournament gives football fans all over the globe the opportunity to become a real FIFA World Champion. The fact that over 1,000,000 players have taken part in this year’s tournament is astonishing and just goes to show how popular the FIWC is with football fans," said Karembeu.
There are already 11 finalists from seven countries who've already qualified for the Dubai Grand Final, with 14 places left.
