EA SPORTS launches FIFA 12, the very popular soccer video game franchise on Friday the 30th September.

Throughout the season, Fulham and EA SPORTS will be holding a range of Club events and experiences that Fulham fans will be able to get involved in.

EA SPORTS will be producing a Fulham specific FIFA 12 game sleeve featuring 3 star players, which fans will be able to download for free from the club’s website around the launch of FIFA 12.

A EA SPORTS gaming trailer will be attending selected match days over the course of the season at Craven Cottage, so fans can try out the FIFA 12 and play against their friends and family.

Plus there will be a Pro Player Tournament at the training ground to determine which Fulham player is the best FIFA 12 gamer. EA SPORTS creative will also be visible via the Club’s LED perimeter board system at home matches.
