FIFA 23 News: TV SENSATION Ted Lasso set to feature in this year's game

FIFA 23 is just around the corner, with brand new features and player ratings already confirmed for this year's game.

With new features already announced for the game's major modes, we want to take a look at a spot from an eagle-eyed fan that may have just hinted at a TV sensation appearing in this year's game.

Check below for everything you need to know about Ted Lasso's potential inclusion in FIFA 23.

Ted Lasso in FIFA 23?!

Reddit user 'LikelyTarnished18' posted an image on the Ted Lasso subreddit that may have revealed the American coach's inclusion in FIFA 23.

Listed amongst other Premier League teams, AFC Richmond - the side that Lasso manages in the popular TV series - appears in the dropdown list.

This image appears to have been taken from the official EA website, which has led to some questioning whether the character - portrayed by actor Jason Sudeikis - could appear in this year's game.

EA has confirmed that real-life managers will be playable in FIFA 23, with the likes of Klopp, Guardiola and a number of other managers up for grabs.

Could TV star Ted Lasso be added to that list? Giving FIFA fans the chance to play as the American coach and guide real-life sides to glory?

It remains to be seen whether this is an inside joke or an actual implemented feature but either way, it's got fans of the TV series intrigued.

Who is Ted Lasso?

Ted Lasso is a fictional character portrayed by American actor Jason Sudeikis, who appears in the TV show 'Ted Lasso'.

The series follows the trials and tribulations of a football manager, with the American taking over London-based club AFC Richmond.

The series has become enormously popular, with a third series in the works.

Any potential arrival of Ted Lasso in FIFA 23 could be a neat way for EA to open up its product to a brand new audience.
