The FA has announced the return of Emirates FA Cup FIFA 17 gaming tournament Every Gamer’s Adventure, and is now inviting players to register to take part.
The one day eSports tournament on May 6 is designed to replicate the format of the real Emirates FA Cup. One player will be selected at random to represent each club from this year’s Third Round onwards.
Lucy Roberts-Hartley, The Emirates FA Cup Senior Brand Manager commented: “We’re incredibly excited to announce the return of Every Gamer’s Adventure to Wembley Stadium in 2017. Last year’s tournament was action-packed and saw the likes of Bury FC reach the Quarterfinals, showcasing – much like the real Emirates FA Cup – that truly anything can happen.
“We want to invite gamers from across the world to register for a chance to take part and descend on the home of football, raising the stakes even higher in 2017 to see if anyone else can cause an almighty Emirates FA Cup upset.”
The tournament winner will get to climb the famous 107 Wembley steps from the pitch up to the Royal Box where they will lift The Emirates FA Cup. The winner will also receive a VIP experience at The Emirates FA Cup Final on Saturday 27 May 2017.
Those hoping to take part can enter at www.EveryGamersAdventure.com where they will be entered into a ballot and subsequently selected at random to be one of the 64 names in the Third Round draw. Applications close on March 10.
All tournament games will be played on the PS4 edition of FIFA 17, and entrants must be aged 8 or above.
