FIFA 23 Bringing Ted Lasso Into A New Era
Posting from the series’ official Twitter handle, Jason Sudeikis showed himself getting scanned, earlier hinting at a project with a video game which has now been confirmed to indeed be FIFA 23. EA Sports has hinted at a collaboration with Ted Lasso many times before, ever since its debut in 2020, creating massive success for the show and its comedic angle.
How the team and Lasso himself fit into the game still remains unknown, however, what can be made certain is that they will bring fans of FIFA and the show together astonishingly. FIFA 23 will be available on consoles across the world from 30th September 2022.
Fans have been ecstatic ever since the news came out, some joking about actually playing the game just for the sake of Ted Lasso, others stating how it is a huge win for the show and the game both. Some seem to love the animation of the game to an extent of not being able to identify the CGI.
