The popular Apple TV+ series about an upbeat football coach working with a soccer team in England was one of our favorites of the year 2021. We recommend it even if you don’t like football or know nothing about it. In addition, everything indicates that the rumors that the fictional team of the series, AFC Richmond, could appear in the game FIFA 23 alongside Ted Lasso himself, played by Jason Sudeikis.
Rumors about it began several weeks ago. Users of Ted Lasso’s subreddit discovered that the AFC Richmond appeared on the official rankings website of FIFA 23. It disappeared shortly after and some believed it may have been a joke by one of the developers or a temporary name accidentally left behind. After all, he didn’t even have a shield.
But things did not stop there. The official account of Ted Lasso on Twitter he posted an image of Jason Sudeikis being digitally “scanned.” The comment, which refers to Mario, suggests that he is doing it to be integrated into a video game.
The most interesting thing of all is that, minutes later, the official account of the FIFA games responded with an ’emoji’.
For many, this is already proof of the future appearance of Ted Lasso and his fictional team AFC Richmond in FIFA 23. However, there is still no official statement about it. We also wonder if we will be able to control the same players as in the series such as Jamie Tartt, Dani «football is life» Rojas (no relation to the protagonist of Far Cry 6) and the great Roy Kent, who we include in our list of favorite characters from last year.
