It’s a known fact in the gaming community that no one competes with Fortnite when it comes to collaborations. The 2017 battle royale game has collaborated with many TV shows, movies, and famous personalities. So, a partnership with FIFA would be no surprise.
Fortnite to add new challenges to please the FIFA fans?
In the past 24 hours, the internet has been full of speculations about Epic Games collaborating with FIFA for a Fortnite collaboration. Although, it’s not surprising as there have been many collaborations with big-name athletes and sports organizations. Recently, Fortnite collaborated with NFL star Patrick Mahomes.

Moreover, the rumors suggest that there would be challenges that might reward 26k XP. But Epic Games or Fortnite hasn’t officially announced such collaborations.

What do fans have to say about this rumored collaboration?
Soccer is undoubtedly one of the most popular sports in the world, with a massive audience. Undoubtedly, a Fortnite x FIFA partnership would be delightful news for those soccer fans who also play the battle royale game. However, many fans showcased their disappointment because of where the World Cup will be hosted. Let’s look at some fan reactions.

I'm sorry to say this but it's really weird for Fortnite to support the World Cup if you think about how anti-LGBTQIA+ Qatar is. They even communicated (google this) how you shouldn't 'show' your homosexuality there in order to be safe (without getting beaten up, arrested etc.)

It sucks to support because Qatar is a really huge problem
