The FIFA World Cup 2022™ presented by EA SPORTS™ - has come to an exciting end as Umut Gültekin from Germany has been crowned FIFAe World Champion 2022 after fierce competition throughout.
The 19-year old German dominated proceedings from the start of the group stage to the end of the competition to become FIFA World Champion, never conceding more than one goal in every tie throughout the knockout stage. He follows Mohammed ‘MoAuba’ Harkous as the second German World Champion in a row.
The world’s best EA SPORTS™ FIFA 22 individual player claimed the grand prize of USD 250,000 and joined an elite group of World Champions. This brings the first spectacular event of the FIFA Finals 2022 to a close but there is even more yet to experience in the FIFA universe through the next two weeks of competition.
"Congratulations to Umut for winning the FIFA World Cup and ultimately - faming his game on the biggest stage,” said Nick Brown, Director of Commercial Partnerships at FIFA. “The dedication throughout the season allowed him to turn his dream into reality and writing his name into the history books of the FIFA universe will surely be a memory he will never forget."
"It’s crazy, I dreamed so long about this moment and I can’t believe it”, said the new World Champion Umut. “We have the strongest nation [in FIFA]. Next year, one of us will win [again]."
Both legs of the final were tense and provided no goals - the tie had to be decided by penalties - and it was Umut ‘Umut’ Gültekin who prevailed to become FIFA World Champion and raise the famed trophy in Copenhagen lifted by previous champions such as Mohammed ‘MoAuba’ Harkous and Mosaad ‘Msdossary’ Aldossary.
