EA becomes official partner of Tottenham Hotspur

EA Sports has announced a three-year partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

The deal will see Tottenham players with improved likenesses in upcoming versions of FIFA.

The players will be having 3D head scans done next week while they are in America for a pre-season tour.

Senior vice president of football at EA Sports, Matt Bilbey, said: “We are extremely excited to join a world class football club like Tottenham Hotspur as an Official Club Partner.

“This is an opportunity for us to create a deeper connection with their passionate, global fan base, and use our game as a platform to engage Spurs supporters all season long.”

The partnership will also feature exclusive videos featuring Tottenham players, the ability for fans to predict match outcomes using the EA Sports game engine and exclusive tournament footage taken from the clubs training centre to determine the best FIFA 13 player in the squad.

A special Tottenham game packaging sleeve for FIFA 13 will also be released for fans to download from the club website.

Tottenham are the eighth English Premier League team to become EA Sports partners, behind Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Newcastle and Manchester City.

FIFA 13 will be available from 28 September.
