Ultimate Quaran-team! Leyton Orient start huge 128-team FIFA 20 tournament

Leyton Orient's twitter team have started a mega FIFA 20 tournament with a number of clubs around the world entering the impromptu event!

With football around the world cancelled at the weekend due to the coronavirus outbreak, club social media accounts were getting imaginative without games to follow, taking part in FIFA matches and noughts and crosses battles.

Now, with the suspension of the Premier League and EFL until April 3 at least, Orient have taken it upon themselves to start a 128-team FIFA 20 tournament, with clubs including Manchester City, Brentford and Derby County all set to take part.

The specifics of the tournament are as of yet unknown, but some rules have been laid down by Orient.

Each club will chose a representative - whether it be a first-team player or a fan - for their team, and will play as their team on FIFA.

With nearly 2,000 retweets on their original tweet already, the tournament has been expanded to 128 teams from the original 64 required.

Other entrants include FC Midtjylland from Denmark, Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory from the A-League and FC Utrecht from Holland.

With more and more teams set to enter, using the #UltimateQuaranTeam, a live draw will be hosted on Tuesday with a first-round tie against Premier League champions Manchester City seemingly the pick everyone will want to avoid!

The much-needed activity has excited a number of supporters desperate to represent their favourite club in the tournament.
