Sony PlayStation today advised of the Fox Fans League, a collaboration between Sony, Football Federation Australia, Westfield Shopping Centres and EA to “bring together the nation’s best gamers to crown a champion on one of the world’s most popular video games” on PS4.
Players will represent their favourite Hyundai A-League club in FIFA 15‘s Ultimate Team and face off in qualifying series at Westfield Centres around Australia from 2 April.
The end of the qualifying series will see sixteen victors duking it out in the national final on 29 April. The final will be broadcast live on Fox Sports, with commentary by Fox Sports’ football team.
“The EA Sports Football franchise is one of the biggest and most successful in the gaming world and the game of football, as we know, is exploding in popularity here in Australia,” said Fox Sports CEO, Patrick Delany.
“Teamed with PS4, Australia’s most popular next generation home console, the Fox Fans League brings these two worlds together. For the first time on Australian television we’ll see a LIVE national broadcast of a video game contest, with a full commentary team to call the action as the two best FIFA gamers in the country square off in the final at Melbourne’s Federation Square.”
