EA SPORTS announce first FIFA 21 Global Series tournaments

EA SPORTS have officially announced the first tournaments of the FIFA 21 Global Series season, with a little help from some of the biggest names in FIFA and football.

Now, anyone hoping to make a name for themselves in FIFA knows the dates they’ve got to look forward to to get their competitive mode on.
