Believe it. Ted Lasso, Coach Beard and the Lady Greyhounds of AFC Richmond bring belief and skill to the "World's Game." Make your mark in FC27
According to Games Press, Electronic Arts has announced the renewal of its partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, through which fan-favorite Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond return to EA SPORTS FC in more diverse ways than ever before, with new opportunities to play and manage the team.
For the first time ever, fans will be able to play as Richmond's women's team in EA SPORTS FC™ 27, where legendary characters, locations and themed rewards await them in Career Mode, Football Ultimate Team™ and other modes.
The Ted Lasso series celebrates the power of football to bring people together, and that is exactly what FC 27 was created for. FC 27 gives players more ways to play and connect than ever before, and Richmond is the perfect club to embrace them. Fans can take to the pitch alongside the women's team in Kick Off mode, take charge of the Lady Greyhounds as Ted in Career Mode, and represent Richmond in their own club in Football Ultimate Team
Nelson Road Stadium is also returning to the game, giving fans the opportunity to play and manage the team at the legendary Dog Track.
It was an incredibly special feeling to play as Richmond for the first time in the game, and it is simply amazing to see myself become part of the Lady Greyhounds team in EA SPORTS FC 27. Our fans see Richmond as something more than just a fictional club. Giving people the opportunity to play and interact with the women's team on the pitch in FC 27 feels like a fantastic new chapter, and I hope players will enjoy making us part of their football stories
