Players can show their support by wearing the
leagues’ bespoke kits in EA SPORTS FIFA 23
EA SPORTS has collaborated with a number of league partners to
launch a line-up of in-game kits featuring powerful messages about
eradicating racism and discrimination in football, on and off the
pitch. The unique kits will be available through completing simple
Objectives in EA SPORTS FIFA 23*, giving fans the chance to spread
these important messages.
“EA SPORTS is committed to tackling toxicity not only in our
games but also out on the pitch and beyond,” said Andrea Hopelain,
SVP of Brand, EA SPORTS. “We stand with our league partners and aim
to use our platform to spread the anti-racism message through
gaming. Players across the globe can now access the latest bespoke
kits in-game and showcase their support for this important
cause.”
Campaigns from league partners and EA SPORTS include:
- Premier League - “There’s no room for racism” - The No
Room For Racism Action Plan brings together the wide-ranging work
the Premier League undertakes to tackle discrimination. The Premier
League has also worked with designer Kingsley Nebechi and Nike,
co-creating a kit and stadium vanity that displays the ‘NRFR’
message. The kit takes inspiration from tribal artwork, relating to
ethnicities from around the world.
- Bundesliga - “STOP RACISM” - The Bundesliga works hand
in hand with its clubs to ‘STOP RACISM’ – a campaign that is
supported by the clubs and partners of Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2
throughout the year. In collaboration with independent streetwear
brand Beautiful Struggles the DFL has also created the ‘STOP
RACISM’ kit; a purple shirt with a strong message, designed to
reflect the German Foundation’s International Week Against Racism
campaign.
- LaLiga Santander - “UNITY” - Spanish premier division
LaLiga Santander worked with internationally awarded artistic
collective BOA Mistura to create their ‘UNITY’ campaign. The
campaign seeks to raise awareness of the importance of eradicating
racism in all areas of society, through the union of people. The
kit design features prominent blocked colouring across the front
and back, with the word ‘UNITY’ featuring on the sleeves,
delivering the league's message on the fight against racism and
discrimination.
- Ligue 1 Uber Eats and LICRA - “We are all responsible” -
The French Ligue 1 Uber Eats and LICRA have created a campaign
which focuses on reporting unacceptable behavior in stadiums and
online, in the fight against racism and anti-semitism. Their
co-created kit includes the logo “SIGNALEZ” (or “REPORT”) on top of
a red training bib inviting people to "Step forward" (or “Entrez en
jeu”) and report such behaviors.
- Serie A and UNAR - “Keep Racism Out” - Italian league
Serie A are working with UNAR on the ‘Keep Racism Out’ awareness
campaign to fight racism and all forms of discrimination, not only
in the world of football and sport, but as the campaign tagline
suggests ‘Together. Everywhere’. They’ve created a kit which
features the Serie A brand colours, with the ‘Keep Racism Out’ logo
in white taking a prominent position on the front.
- KNVB and Eredivisie - “ONE LOVE” - In a joint initiative
between the Dutch FA, the Dutch League Eredivisie and others, the
‘ONE LOVE’ campaign looks to speak out against racism and
discrimination. Alongside this awareness campaign, ‘ONE LOVE’ also
consists of a training offer for football clubs to use and help
educate about the power of diversity. The co-created kit going
in-game features various shapes and colours which represent a
statement against all kinds of discrimination. It’ll also feature
the ‘ONE LOVE’ armband on the kit sleeve.
