How to play as AFC Richmond in FIFA 23?

Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond in FIFA 23? Yes, this is the real thing. The entire fictional cast from Jason Sudeikis’ comedy show has been included in FIFA 23, with kits and stadium immediately recognizable from the Apple TV+ show.

It all unfolds in your FIFA 23 AFC Richmond guide.

Is Ted Lasso in FIFA 23?

Yes, Jason Sudeikis was scanned to appear in your FIFA 23 bunker. You don’t even need to control AFC Richmond to be your FIFA 23 career mode boss. Start a new save, then select ‘Play as Real Manager’. Now select the Rest of the World tab and go to the lower right corner. You’ll find Ted Lasso alongside Ukrainian legend Sergiy Rebrov and you can customize his bunker outfit as you see fit.

Is AFC Richmond stadium in FIFA 23?

It certainly is. Crystal Palace’s home ground, Selhurst Park, was renamed Nelson Road in the TV show, and the same makeover was done in-game. But given that Selhurst is already in the game, we didn’t have a guide for the six new FIFA 23 stadiums. Still, it feels like a new venue once you step into Greyhounds’ formal wear.

How do I get AFC Richmond cards in Ultimate Team?

There are no AFC Richmond players in FUT, but you can catch both Ted Lasso and Coach Beard to patrol the touchline. To do this, you need to dive into the new solo Moments mode. Complete some fairly simple quests to earn stars and then they can be spent on either or both of them – each costing four stars. Check out our FIFA 23 skill moves guide if needed.
