Aston Villa FC join forces with EA Sports FC

Aston Villa Football Club (AVFC) have announced a partnership with EA Sports FC, bringing it on board as their Official Football Action Simulation Video Game Partner and Official Video Game Partner.

The partnership will see Aston Villa and “FC” work together to bring fans closer to the team.

The Villans have long featured in “FC” (formerly “FIFA”) titles in a fully licensed guise due to EA Sports’ long-standing association with the FA and the Premier League.

Francesco Calvo, President of Business Operations, Aston Villa FC, commented:

“EA SPORTS FC is one of the most recognised and iconic brands in the sports gaming space and has been for many years. We are delighted to be partnering with them to give our supporters a true and representative experience of playing as Aston Villa and are looking forward to exploring ways in which we can work to bring fans closer to the club that they love.” 

James Salmon, Senior Director, Partnership Marketing, EA Sports FC, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Aston Villa as an official partner of EA SPORTS FC. Authenticity is at the heart of EA SPORTS FC 27, and this partnership brings fans closer to the Aston Villa men’s and women’s teams and the unmistakable matchday atmosphere of Villa Park.”
