EA Sports is looking for the “Team of the Season” for its “FIFA” video game series. Two people from Bochum can also hope for this award.
Who is on the team of the week? Who gets a new special card? Who is in the “Team of the Year”. Week after week, millions of avid fans of EA Sports’ FIFA video game series await the awards for professional footballers. Now the video game developer from Canada has presented the nominees for the “Team of the Season”, where fans can vote for their favourites. Two Bochum residents are also among the nominees.
