WE’RE IN THE GAME! Coventry Building Society Arena in EA Sport FC 25 #FC25

Coventry Building Society Arena will feature in the latest edition of EA FC as it appears in the popular video game for the very first time.

Fans will be able to play out their dreams of playing on the pitch at the stadium when EA Sports FC 25 launches on 27 September.

The home of Coventry City FC is one of a handful of licenced stadiums in the EFL Championship to feature on the game.

It will see millions of players all around the world have the chance to visit Coventry Building Society Arena from the comfort of their own homes.

The stadium is not only home to Coventry City but has also established itself as a premier destination for international sport events, with England’s Lionesses breaking the record attendance when 32,128 supporters came out to see their win over Italy in the Arnold Clark Cup last year.

EA Sports FC 25 will launch a month before the Lionesses, who are also playable in the game, return to Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday 29 October to face South Africa.

Last year the venue hosted its inaugural EA FC tournament and has plans to host further esports tournaments in the future.

Paul Michael, Managing Director of Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “We already host more than 1.2 million visitors at the Arena every year and we are looking forward to welcoming millions more as they visit us virtually on EA FC 25.”
