The FA launch FIFA 16 Emirates FA Cup tournament to take place at Wembley Stadium

The FA has launched an FA Cup, FIFA 16 tournament, to mirror the famous cup competition which enters its third round stage this weekend.

Video gamers from across the world are being challenged to compete for glory at the home of English football, Wembley Stadium.

Early rounds are to take place in iconic locations within the stadium's parameters including the Royal Box, changing rooms and the players’ tunnel.

The two finalists will then contest a virtual final using Wembley Stadium’s 82 foot screens as they plant themselves on the centre circle.

Gamers of varying ability will descend upon Wembley as it transforms into an epic gaming colosseum set to turn heads and sweat palms in equal measure.

The eventual winner’s adventure will replicate that of this year’s Emirates FA Cup finalists, as they look to navigate the early potential banana skins through to the tougher tests of the latter stages, with a chance to play on the Wembley Stadium pitch looming.

The victor will receive a VIP experience at The Emirates FA Cup Final, as well as the prestige of being the inaugural champion.

Players have until March 18th to enter at www.EveryGamersAdventure.com with everyone lucky enough to be selected notified by March 26th.
