PepsiCo finalized a multi-year “agreement” with EA Sports that will allow the former opportunities to create entertainment experiences based around the latter's newest football game, EA Sports FC 24.
“EA SPORTS is an iconic brand in the realm of football and has revolutionized fan engagement,” Said Adam Warner, Head of Global Sports and Partnerships at PepsiCo. “With PepsiCo's history and extensive involvement in football and entertainment, our brands are uniquely positioned to push the boundaries of football fandom. This partnership enables us to reach football fans and communities worldwide, and to provide them with experiences that elevate their connection to the beautiful game.”
Pepsi joins Gatorade and Lay's as one of the flagship brands for the foreseeable future. While EA Sports split with FIFA, they're securing deals everywhere else they can.
David Jackson, Vice President of Brand at EA Sports is also ecstatic for the partnership. “For years, PepsiCo's brands have been delivering memorable moments for football fans, and we're energized to incorporate that rich heritage into our own experiences as we set forth on this remarkable journey with EA SPORTS FC. We're proud to partner with PepsiCo to create more unmissable experiences that will undoubtedly captivate fans of the World's Game.”
We're not sure which “memorable moments” a can of Pepsi delivered to football fans. That being said, this could mean many things for the future of EA Sports FC.
