Three teenage boys from Oxelösund will participate on Friday in the local qualifier in the Swedish eCup. They do it in their club jerseys from Oxelösunds IK, where they play football of the real kind every day.


Hugo Kviby, Ludvig Andersson and Lukas Svensson make up the team which on Friday evening meets six other opponents from different parts of Sörmland.

Each team consists of two players and one reserve, they control the eleven players on the field together with their two controllers.

Everything is decided in the popular FIFA23 game.

If they move on from the local level, opposition from the whole country awaits - and the prize pool is 50,000 kroner, one half of which goes to the players and the other to the association's club coffers.
