Messi, Bale & Co Bring World Together for Fifa 14

Every year millions of people from all over the world are drawn into a frenzy of football fun with EA SPORTS™ FIFA and this year the launch of FIFA 14 brings them together like never before with the 'We Are FIFA 14' global campaign.

Created by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, the 'We Are FIFA 14' film depicts an armada of football fun, led by none other than Lionel Messi. Driving a bright red FIFA van, Messi is the pied piper of FIFA 14, pulling a set of enormous TV screens suspended by parachutes behind him and attracting gamers of all shapes and sizes. But those who join the FIFA 14 armada are not on the usual sailing ships, but on lounges, couches, hammocks and beanbags, anywhere you play FIFA on wheels. Amongst them are pro footballers Gareth Bale, Stephan El Shaarawy, Tim Cahill and Javier Hernandez 'Chicharito' and FIFA-loving celeb Drake, all getting their game on with everyday 'Joes'.

 

The 'We Are FIFA 14' journey continues online with the FIFA 14 World Tour, a website housed on the EA SPORTS main site and created by AKQA, that incorporates a further series of short films by W+K Amsterdam. Taking the form of an interactive 3D map, the site is a world of FIFA 14 inspired content waiting to be explored. From a Mexican FIFA 14 telenovela starring 'Chicharito', to an Australian FIFA exercise show with Tim Cahill, the FIFA 14 World Tour site leaves fans in no doubt that FIFA 14 is the most fun and social game on the planet.

 

Get involved with the interactive experience of the FIFA 14 World Tour at EASPORTS.COM/WeAreFIFA14.
