Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond are coming to FIFA 23

Ted Lasso fans rejoice! If you’re like us, and are literally killing time until the eventual release of season 3 of Ted Lasso, you can play as your favourite fictional team in the new FIFA 23.

You can star in your own season of Ted Lasso on FIFA by choosing Ted Lasso as a manager in Career Mode, or AFC Richmond will be playable in Career Mode, Kickoff, Online Friendlies, and Online Seasons.

Yes your favourite AFC Richmond players are in the game as well … you can play as Roy Kent, Jamie Tartt, Sam Obisanya, and Dani Rojas (as well as Coach Beard) will all be in the game, along with Richmond’s fictional stadium Nelson Road. The only downside is you won’t get any of those Ted Lasso biscuits he brings in every morning.

The news of the games inclusion comes at a perfect time as fans are waiting after a very successful season 2 and for news of season 3, which could be the final season of the show. Season 2 of the series won big at the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series (Sudeikis), Best Supporting Actor (Goldstein), and Best Supporting Actress (Hannah Waddingham).
