From EA Sports:
For the very first time, fans can play as AFC Richmond Women in EA SPORTS FC™ 27, with legendary characters, environments, and themed rewards across Career Mode, Football Ultimate Team™, and more.
“Ted Lasso celebrates the power of football to bring people together, and that’s exactly what FC 27 is built for,” said Jeff Sharma, VP, Brand, EA SPORTS FC. “FC 27 gives players more ways than ever to play and connect, and AFC Richmond is the perfect club to welcome them in. Fans can take the pitch with its Women’s team in Kick Off, lead the Lady Greyhounds as Ted in Career Mode, and represent Richmond in their own Club in Football Ultimate Team. However you play, FC 27 and Ted Lasso are united by the belief that football is better together.”

“It was incredibly special the first time I got to play with AFC Richmond in the game, and it's amazing to see myself as part of the Lady Greyhounds squad in EA SPORTS FC 27,” said Abbie Hern. “Our fans have embraced Richmond as more than just a fictional club. Giving people a way to play and connect with the Women’s team on the pitch in FC 27 feels like a wonderful next chapter, and I hope players enjoy making us part of their football stories.”
