The World Cup is over. The whole football world watched the final of the most spectacular football tournament in the world. Argentina became world champions for the third time in their history (previously 1978, 1986), beating France after extra time and a penalty shootout. There was also no shortage of football emotions in Olivia! In the first FIFA esports tournament, as many as 32 players from 19 companies competed for the title of the best player. 64 matches were played, the tournament lasted 25 days, and the competition took place in 6 arenas: Olivia Garden, Santander Work Cafe, Vidokówka, Conference Centre on the 34th floor of Olivia Star, O4 Coworking, Work&Chill Station. The most goals (13) were scored by Mariusz Pliński from Bayer. The winner of the tournament was Marcin Jach from PwC!

The most exciting duel was definitely the final, which was played on December 16 at O4 Coworking. Marcin Jach from PwC faced off against Radosław Łuczak from Speednet. In the end, the victory, after extra time and a goal in the last seconds of the game, was achieved by Marcin. “Golden Martin” was honored with a cup, he also received a ball signed by R9 Ronaldo himself, one of the the best players in the history of the World Cup. The silver medal will be won by the aforementioned Radosław Łuczak, and the bronze medal will be won by Krzysztof Roszkowski from GFKM, who defeated Paweł Król from Nike in the match for the 3rd place.
