In addition to their announcement of the inclusion of Germany's 3. Liga in FIFA 18, EA Sports has announced that Czech First League side AC Sparta Prague will be included in FIFA 18.

Tomas Krivda, marketing director of AC Sparta Prague, stated that both the club and EA Sports FIFA have been discussing the clubs return to the FIFA franchise for quite some time. He added, "We are very pleased that our club is returning to the legendary video game franchise."

Sparta Prague is a historic Czech Republic side who has dominated the country's first division ever since its launch 123 years ago. "The Maroons" have won 33 Czech First League titles, 14 Czech Cups and 2 Czech Supercups. Their famed domestic past has seen the club grace Champions League (and its predecessors) more times than not. However, they have never lifted Europe's top prize, reaching as far the semifinals (1991-92) where they lost to Rangers.

The last time the Czech club was featured in a FIFA game was FIFA 2011. Since then, only a few of their current players recently received FUT cards, including Semih Kaya, former Arsenal player Tomas Rosicky, Martin Dubravka, and Austrian national striker Marc Janko.

Here's the announcement, via EA Czech Republic:
