EA SPORTS FC FUTURES har lanceret et revolutionerende gratis online træningsbibliotek i samarbejde med UEFA, designet til at transformere den måde, unge fodboldspillere lærer spillet på. Inspireret af populære drills fra det kendte videospil EA SPORTS FC™ 24 tilbydes disse øvelser nu i virkelighedens verden, med målet at berige fodboldfællesskabet og tilbyde alle et glimt af fremtidens fodboldtræning.
De digitale træningsvideoer, der er tilgængelige på seks sprog, er udviklet af eksperter fra både spilindustrien og UEFA-certificerede fodboldtrænere. Ved at fusionere virtuel og reel fodbold ønsker EA SPORTS at tilbyde et unikt og inspirerende træningsværktøj til trænere og spillere over hele verden.
Til lanceringen deltog den svenske Tottenham Hotspur-stjerne Dejan Kulusevski, der er en af de 12 FC FUTURE ambassadører, i en række træningssessioner med lokale børn under UEFA Grassroots Festival of Football i Stockholm, hvilket understreger forbindelsen mellem den digitale og den fysiske fodboldverden.

The training practices and coaches were announced on October 13th at the UEFA Grassroots Festival of Football powered by EA SPORTS FC in Stockholm. The festival brought together young male and female footballers from local schools and clubs who took part in small-sided games and skill challenges inspired by the newly launched training practices. The aim of the festival was to promote the grassroots game and the values of community-level football, all while showcasing that the digital game experience can have a real and positive impact on physical football development and inspire a deeper love of the game.
“UEFA is delighted to endorse EA SPORTS’ innovative venture, seamlessly merging virtual and real-world football experiences,” said Zvonimir Boban, UEFA Technical Director and Chief of Football. “This initiative offers youngsters a multi-dimensional engagement with the sport and provides an inclusive platform for players and coaches of all levels. That is precisely the leading idea of the UEFA Grassroots Programme – to keep football accessible, safe and fun for everybody who wants to participate while fostering a strong bond with local clubs, schools and communities.”
FC FUTURES ambassador and Tottenham Hotspur/Swedish winger, Dejan Kulusevski joined in the coaching sessions, providing his own tips and tricks with young players throughout the day. Attendees were also treated to special messages delivered virtually from Fridolina Rolfö, Magdalena Eriksson and Olivia Schough. To support local clubs, charities and schools, EA SPORTS FC FUTURES will also be providing equipment to help coaches train the next generation.
“I learned to play football in this area and have so much to give back. I’m very excited to be a part of this incredibly important event which I believe will really inspire Sweden’s next generation of footballers,” said Dejan Kulusevski. “Festivals like this offer so much to the community and, combined with EA SPORTS’ training practices, are a great opportunity for everyone involved. I only wish I’d had access to these tips and tricks when I was learning to dribble at a young age!”
