Is the Third League included in FIFA 18 ? According to Kicker information: Yes!
It is the biggest wish of many German FIFA fans: The 3rd League should also be there in EA Sports’ virtual football.
As the e-sports site from Kicker now reports, this wish is finally coming true with FIFA 18. Supporters of the third league clubs will soon be able to play with their favorite teams, such as SpVgg Unterhaching or Karlsruher SC, in FIFA and lead them to the highest titles, for example in career mode.
Kicker writes that the deal between the German Football Association (DFB) and Electronic Arts (EA) has already been sealed, only the announcement is still pending.
No official confirmation yet
However, Kicker does not mention any concrete or official sources. It refers to “Kicker information”.
The colleagues from GameStar directly asked EA and the DFB. Both parties did not want to confirm that the 3rd League is licensed in FIFA 18. Therefore, there is still no final, official confirmation.
The third highest German league is one of the most sought-after leagues that the community wishes to see licensed in FIFA 18. However, this wish is not only harbored by German football fans, as an international survey by FIFPlay shows. Of over 2 million participants, approximately 230,000 users currently voted for the Third League (as of 07.06.2017). This means second place, just behind the Chinese league.
Two weeks ago, we reported that the license negotiations for the Third League would not fail at the DFB or EA Germany – instead, the “okay” from the top is missing, according to the DFB. The international headquarters of EA decides which original licenses are integrated into FIFA. And currently, there are no enforceable news regarding the 3rd League to report.
Possibly, EA has now given the green light. Provided that the “Kicker information” will be officially confirmed soon.
