Here at Orlando City UK, we’re super excited about the launch of EA Sports’ FIFA 21 that was released to the world today.
Even better, we’ve now earned the first glimpse of how our beloved Orlando City SC players have been rated in the game.
Orlando City SC have appeared as a playable team on the world’s best loved football game series since 2015.
First introduced to the “Rest of World” section as part of a mid-season title update in FIFA 15, only star man Kaká had his head scanned back then.
Nowadays however, multiple Lions have their real-life faces scanned in game, or to use the official lingo of FIFA nerds everywhere – starheads.
