Nine more days!, the release date of FIFA 23 is really close, and soccer fans can’t wait for another year of games, nerves from Ultimate Team, funny mistakes, and everything in between that makes FIFA a special experience. for better and for worse. It is already known about the players and the clubs that will or will not be in this year’s game. About five teams from the Italian league under an exclusive contract with Konami, of course elites from Russia and Belarus will not be available, including their national teams.
However, according to the latest reports, it seems that EA will actually add another team year to the game. The fictitious football update, AFC Richmond, from the ‘Ted Lasso’ series, will likely be available in FIFA this year. This possibility was hinted at via a Twitter post that showed the player Jason Sudakis A large amount of cameras will be scanned, similar to how players scan their characters in FIFA games. Also, to reinforce the idea, the fact that the official Twitter account of the FIFA series replied to the tweet with an emoji apparently confirms the news, even if not completely.

Rumors of Ted Lasso’s inclusion in FIFA started when AFC Richmond appeared a few days ago on EA’s FIFA rankings website before it was quickly removed. It now seems almost certain that the team, and Laso himself, will appear in the game in some form. It is unclear how this new content will be integrated and whether it will be significant enough to sustain an entire game mode. In the past, EA has dealt with different game modes such as in “The Journey” which followed a player’s rise from youth clubs to stardom on the world stage of the soccer world.
A similar situation could be in FIFA 23 which allows players to take control of AFC Richmond as Ted Lasso and lead the team in the European factories and the league. The possibilities are endless, but it really depends on how much EA is really willing to invest in this add-on, or leave everything quite superficial for maximum advertising.
FIFA 23 will be released on September 30 and will offer early access three days before. The game will be the last in a series of FIFA-licensed EA Sports soccer games. Starting next year, the series will continue to be released under the EA Sports FC brand.
