EA Sports is committed to developing community football around the world with the goal of developing a sport for all with a ten million dollar investment over three years.
In partnership with The Football Foundation, FC Futures will create a public list of training plans in five different languages for young players and coaches to view and use in their training, as well as provide access to football to the local community, supporting the creation and rehabilitation of pitches through a program supported and distributed by associations, federations and leagues, and finally will invest in training supplies locally to offer football training equipment such as balls, bibs, cones and other accessories.
Introducing #EASPORTSFC FUTURES, our global plan to advance global football through investment in community football.
It all starts here at Turnham Academy London with @FootballFoundtn and @IanWright0.
