Time for some positivity.
Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond will feature within FIFA 23, EA has today confirmed.
Fans will be “able to authentically take control of their favorite club across multiple game modes including Career Mode, Kickoff, Online Friendlies, and Online Seasons, EA said in a press release.
“A number of AFC Richmond items including kits, tifos, Manager items, and other content will also be available to unlock across FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and Pro Clubs where applicable,” EA continued.
“Jason Sudeikis’ beloved Ted Lasso will be available as a selectable manager of AFC Richmond in Career Mode, as fans can play as their favorite mustached manager running the show for AFC Richmond or any team of their choosing.”
Characters like Roy Kent, Jamie Tartt, Sam Obisanya and Dani Rojas will feature in AFC Richmond, able to be controlled in the ‘Rest of The World’ league in Kick Off, Online Friendlies and Online Seasons.
“I am truly fortunate, and deeply grateful, to have had many special moments in my career thus far, and I consider this experience among the best of them,” said Jason Sudeikis of his inclusion.
“As long-time fans of EA Sports FIFA, having Ted Lasso and the whole AFC Richmond squad incorporated into the newest version of the game is truly a dream come true for myself and the rest of the fellas. Our cast and crew work tremendously hard on this show, and we are flattered that it resonates with so many folks. We look forward to our fans having the opportunity to play with, play as, and even play against their favorite AFC Richmond characters.”
