For many years, EA Sports has been firmly at the forefront of innovation in the sports gaming industry, with its games not only constantly innovating in gameplay but also bringing unprecedented gaming experiences to players through a series of innovative brand partnerships.
EA Sports has won wide acclaim in the industry for its deep partnerships with major sports brands, well-known clubs and top leagues around the world. These partnerships are not just simple brand placements, but are integrated into every aspect of the game in a very creative and attractive way, greatly enriching the content and depth of the game.
After the release of EA Sports FC 25, EA Sports has launched in-depth cooperation with well-known brands such as Nike Air Zoom Arena, Xfinity and Intersport, and carried out innovative activation activities in the game. These initiatives have broadened the overall quality of the game and further expanded its influence beyond the traditional football simulation category.
Nike
Nike’s cooperation with FUT 25 marks a leap forward in the digital football experience. Together, the two parties unveiled Nike Air Zoom Arena, a futuristic digital stadium designed specifically for the game’s 5v5 Rush mode. Inspired by Nike’s iconic Mercurial football boots, the stadium is designed to provide players with an immersive, high-speed, small-sided match experience.
Besides creating a unique playing field, Nike also took the opportunity to promote its innovative. SWOOSH platform, which allows players to further personalize their in-game characters through exclusive Nike gear and special events. This deep integration not only enhances the realism of the game but also provides players with more customization options, allowing them to express their style in the virtual world.
This collaboration is a great example of how real-world sports performance and digital entertainment can be perfectly combined, showing how technological innovation can create a fully immersive gaming experience.
Peacock And Xfinity
EA Sports has partnered with Comcast’s Peacock and Xfinity brands to cleverly integrate elements of both brands into FIFA 25. The partnership brings a number of exclusive game content and experiences to players in North America. For example, a Xfinity-inspired Ultimate Team jersey was specially designed in the game. Players can get it by spending some FUT 25 Coins.
Besides innovations in the virtual world, Xfinity is also committed to improving the gaming experience in the real world. Also, Xfinity provided high-speed and stable Wi-Fi connections and low-latency service guarantees to ensure that every participant can enjoy a smooth and unimpeded gaming process.
Intersport
Intersport, a world-renowned sports goods retailer, is embarking on a journey of innovation with EA Sports FC 25, aiming to seamlessly merge the boundaries of digital and physical retail.
Through an innovative cooperation model, Intersport’s brand elements are cleverly embedded in the game environment, using advanced virtual signage technology and carefully designed in-game advertisements, allowing players to naturally come into contact with Intersport’s brand information and product displays while enjoying the fun of the game.
Through the immersive experience in the game, Intersport not only enhances the brand’s online visibility but also effectively promotes the interaction of customer traffic between the online platform and the physical store, achieving mutual attraction and synergy between online and offline.

AS Roma And Olympique De Marseille
Roma and Olympique de Marseille (OM), two iconic teams in European football, have established a long-term strategic partnership with EA FC 25. This cooperation not only marks a new exploration of the two clubs in digitalization but also demonstrates a firm commitment to promoting gender equality in sports games.
In FC 25, both the men’s and women’s teams of Roma and OM have been fully reproduced, including participating in top women’s football events such as Barclays Women’s Super League and UEFA Women’s Champions League.
A highlight of this cooperation is that it is not limited to the presentation of the virtual world but also goes deep into the construction of the real-world football ecosystem. Take OM’s Orange Vélodrome stadium as an example. The venue has been carefully digitally rebuilt, allowing players to experience the unique atmosphere and passion of this legendary stadium in person in the game.
The partnership also extends to grassroots football development, such as OM’s Next Gen program, which aims to inspire a love of football among the younger generation through gaming platforms and provide support and opportunities for their growth.
McDonald’s Ligue 1
McDonald’s has renewed its long-term partnership with Ligue 1, further deepening its brand’s football experience in both the virtual and real worlds. Under this new agreement, McDonald’s will not only feature prominently in FUT 25, but will also appear in iconic stadiums such as Orange Vélodrome.
In addition, by supporting youth football development programs such as OM Next Gen, McDonald’s is committed to developing the next generation of football players and encouraging them to pursue their dreams.
These partnerships go beyond traditional sponsorships to deeply integrate real-world brands into the core of gaming. As gaming, sports, and brand experiences merge, FIFA 25 showcases the future of interactive sports entertainment.
