FIFA 23: Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond in the game, the clues that do not lie

Until now, FIFA, like PES, has always chased sponsors and official clubs to be the most faithful and realistic football simulation possible. But this year, it seems that fiction now comes into play; at least for FIFA 23. While the release of the game is only a matter of days away, several clues lead us to believe that Electronic Arts has signed a collaboration with the Ted Lasso series, broadcast on AppleTV + for two years now . First of all, the fictional club of the series, AFC Richmond, had been spotted a few days ago by Internet users in the database of the game. The official Twitter account of the series Ted Lasso had moreover replied with insistent emojis that left no room for doubt.



But for the past few hours, actor Jason Sudeikis has added his grain of sand by posting a photo on the Twitter account of Ted Lasso, the character he plays, where we see him from behind being scanned entirely in 3D , featuring what appears to be the device Electronic Arts uses to replicate the in-game football players. The caption "Watch out, Mario! You're not the only pixelated man with a mustache who never knows where the tube takes him away" leaves no doubt there either. Especially since behind, the official Twitter account of the game EA Sports FIFA always released a smiley with big eyes, which obviously validates the presence of the series in the video game. Anyway, we will be fixed in a few days since FIFA 23 arrives on September 30 on PC and consoles.
