"I'm really proud to be the first Spaniard to be crowned FIFA Interactive World Player and look forward to defending my title next year." In the third and fourth playoff, Dominic Posch of Austria had a 2-1 victory over Andre Casagrande Buffo of Brazil. 32 players qualified for the finals after qualifying rounds held in 20 locations around the world and online. The event's sponsors sounded happy. “Congratulations to Alfonso Ramos, the fourth ever FIFA Interactive World Player of the year, who impressed us all with his skills today,” said Romain Rossi, marketing director of EA Sports. "It's been a great season and together [with] FIFA and PlayStation we cannot wait to see the kick-off of the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2009 later this year." |
