EA Sports has announced that tomorrow the first official esports tournament for FIFA 19 in the Nordics will take place. The Helsinki Expo Center will host 200 spectators as they watch the top national teams battle it out for supremacy.

The match format is best-of-three, with one 2v2 match followed by two 1v1s, and all four teams - Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland - will take part. A round-robin group stage will determine who moves onto the semi-finals before the medal games take place, at which point teams will fight for the third-place playoff and the grand final.

Below is the schedule, with all times in local time (GMT+2):

11:00: Match 1 Finland - Denmark
12:00: Match 2 Norway - Sweden
