City fans invited to play in Emirates FA Cup gaming tournament

Registering to play in the first ever Emirates FA Cup gaming tournament held at Wembley Stadium closes in one month (18 March 2016). Gamers and super fans from across the world are invited to enter for the chance to represent their team, compete for glory and the opportunity to lift the trophy and win tickets to the illustrious Emirates FA Cup Final on 21 May.

On Saturday 7 May, gamers of varying ability will descend upon Wembley Stadium as the home of football transforms into an epic gaming colosseum set to turn heads and sweat palms in equal measure.

Gamers will face-off in iconic locations within the stadium including; the changing rooms, players’ tunnel and team dugouts.  The two eventual finalists of the knockout tournament will have the chance to play the final on Wembley Stadium’s 82 foot screens as they sit in the centre circle.

The victor will receive a VIP experience for themselves and three others at the real Emirates FA Cup Final, as well as the prestige of being the inaugural champion.

Players have one month left to enter via www.EveryGamersAdventure.com, where they will be entered into a ballot and subsequently selected at random to be one of the 64 names in to represent the third round draw onwards.

Applications are currently open and will close on 18 March 2016 with those selected in the ballot notified by 28 March 2016.

Lucy Roberts-Hartley, The Emirates FA Cup Marketing Manager said: “We are expecting amateurs to face elite gamers, just as The Emirates FA Cup pits many David and Goliath fixtures. We hope the lure of playing everywhere from the iconic players’ tunnel to the Wembley Stadium pitch will entice the very best gamers from across the globe.”

“Many adventures have culminated at Wembley Stadium, but this gaming tournament will bring the spirit of The Emirates FA Cup to a new audience, whilst retaining its magic and unique history.”
