As you may have seen, Leyton Orient have captured the imagination of clubs all around the world with their idea of a Fifa 20 tournament between clubs during this time of fixture postponement.
Exeter City were more than happy to enter and were drawn to face Peterborough United at a virtual in what has been dubbed the 'Christy Pym' derby!
The match will take place at 9pm on Monday, March 23 and will be streamed live on Twitch - link to follow!
Representing and playing as the Grecians will be supporter Jack Carmody, also known as 'Stulptaa'. Here is what he had to say:
"My dad first took me to a game in 2002 when I was only 5 years old. Since then I've had season tickets in both the old Stagecoach stand and on the Big Bank, and seen City play at over 15 away grounds. My favourite City players have been Jamie Cureton and Ollie Watkins.
"In terms of FIFA, I've been playing casually since 2008 and competitively for the past couple of years. I recently won a tournament at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which over 150 players entered, to play for Spurs in the upcoming ePremier League - the largest domestic FIFA competition."
He will be taking on Peterborough United's Rhys Bennett on Monday night (March 23) in a 9pm kick-off, which will be streamed live on Twitch.
ABOUT QUARANTEAM
Named, ‘Ultimate Quaran-Team’, 128 clubs have signed up to take part in the tournament – from Premier League champions Man City, through to League 2 – and clubs from around Europe, America, Australia and Africa.
The initiative is one borne out of the desire to bring clubs together during a time of unprecedented measures surrounding Covid-19, and so far has been a great success.
MAKE A DONATION
Please visit our Just Giving page to donate.
We are thankful to everyone who has already been so kind during this difficult period. Your money will help to raise vital funding for EFL clubs who are going to have massive financial struggles (as of course will many industries across the world) during this time of fixture postponement. With no match day income for the foreseeable future football clubs are struggling and things will only get worse.
If this cause can play a small way for clubs going during an unprecedented time, then it would be an amazing force for good. 75% of money raised will be given to the EFL within 28 days.
Secondly, the remaining 25% will be split between for two very worthy causes. One is the EFL’s chosen charity ‘MIND’ (219830), and secondly in funding the all-important COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fundraiser by WHO.
