A new could be in the offing, the contest set to be based around EA's FIFA 09 on the PlayStation 3 console. The event begins in late October. You can practice using the demo, now, while the full title arrives on the 3rd of October.

Big money backing is guaranteed, meaning there are some proper prizes up for grabs - this being the fifth year for the burgeoning tournament. First prize gets 20,000 USD, and a car. Second lands 5000 USD, and third gets 1000 USD.

FIFA 09 is really upping the ante on the front, including virtual 'Clubs' for players to join - not to mention full 10 vs. 10 online multiplayer.

More FIFA 09 shortly.
