Huge FIFA 20 Tournament Between Clubs Launched In Response To Football Suspension

With coronavirus causing a worldwide suspension of football games, one club has organised a 128-team FIFA 20 tournament to keep the footy action going.

League Two side, Leyton Orient, created the #UltimateQuaranTeam knock-out tournament when social media users took to Twitter to express how bored they were without having football games to watch over the weekend.

Since sending their tweet out, clubs such as Manchester City, Marseille, West Ham and more have entered the tournament.

‍♂️ Sure, connect four is cool but we’ve got a better idea!

We need 63 other teams to enter a knock-out FIFA 20 tournament.

To enter, all we need is the club to RT this tweet.

We will host a live draw this Tuesday…

Details of its logistics have not been confirmed just yet but each club will choose a representative – either a fan or player – to play as their club on FIFA.

Originally, 64 teams were required to compete but because of the demand received, the tournament will now include 128 teams.

The creation of the tournament comes after the Premier League and EFL were suspended until at least April 3rd.
