\u201cFIFA believes that such a multi-layered experience will result in a truly inclusive and fun gameplay \u2013 in turn, engaging new and existing football fans from across the globe, as well as promoting the values of the sport to an even broader audience\u201d.<\/p>\n
Christina Wootton, VP Global Partnerships at Roblox, added: \u201cWe believe discovering and enjoying events together with friends from all over the globe is a unique experience that often can\u2019t be replicated in the physical world,\u201d said. \u201cWith FIFA World, fans are able to come together to celebrate and express their fandom with one another, support their favorite teams, and get access to FIFA\u2019s top sporting events year round.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly exciting to see FIFA and Roblox come together, and I can\u2019t wait to be a part of FIFA World as it continues to evolve! The football fans I see in the stands every week love gaming and it\u2019s great to be taking the FIFA World Cup to them in the digital space and interacting with them directly in our Roblox world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Germany and Vfl Wolfsburg midfielder, Lena Oberdorf, added:<\/p>\n
\u201cFans are the lifeblood of our game, and so to be involved in this project as we meet them in the world of Roblox is a hugely exciting opportunity. We love celebrating with the fans, and now we can do it in FIFA World as well as on the pitch. It\u2019s fantastic to see FIFA and Roblox using this opportunity to give a huge platform to the women\u2019s game, and I can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s in store for the experience in 2023 as we head to Australia and New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
