"And I would be rubbish by comparison and they'd be like, and that was very embarrassing for me. It was mostly about the fact that I could pretend to be a professional footballer. "The weekend that I found out that I got the job, the thing I was most excited about was the fact that we had football rehearsals, which for me as an avid lifelong football fan, that was the coolest thing," he said.

Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond Officially Announced for FIFA 23 - IGN (IGN)

Ted Lasso, Richmond AFC, and players from the show will officially be a part of FIFA 23 this year.

But the very thought of adding Ted and AFC Richmond into the game opens up a world of possibilities. But it begs the question – how will Ted and AFC Richmond fit into the game? He’s gonna be furious.” [Ted Lasso](/tv/ted-lasso) and AFC Richmond may be in the upcoming [FIFA 23](/games/fifa-23). As long-time fans of EA SPORTS FIFA, having Ted Lasso and the whole AFC Richmond squad incorporated into the newest version of the game is truly a dream come true for myself and the rest of the fellas. Players Roy Kent, Jamie Tartt, Sam Obisanya and Dani Rojas will all be in the squad, and fictional stadium Nelson Road, will also be part of the game. EA adds that "a number of AFC Richmond items including kits, tifos, Manager items, and other content will also be available to unlock across FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and Pro Clubs where applicable."

If planning permission couldn’t be reached for a second big stadium in the borough, perhaps a ground share with nearby AFC Wimbledon could be agreed, although the capacity of 9,215 would likely struggle when Liverpool and Manchester United come to town. The daunting trips to Arsenal, West Ham, Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Chelsea would take a bit more planning. But if it did, it would be somewhere in the borough of Richmond making the Greyhounds neighbours of rugby union giants Harlequins. Travelling Richmond fans would be well served with TfL options for away days, however. Given on-the-pitch sections are shot at Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park, which is already in FIFA 22, a slight change of branding should do the trick. Ted Lasso’s AFC Richmond and star players such as Roy Kent, Sam Obisanya, Jamie Tartt and Dani Rojas will be selectable as part of the “rest of the world” league in Kick Off, Online Friendlies and Online Seasons.
