• A bespoke EA SPORTS FIFA gaming trailer will be attend selected matches over the course of the season including the Derby County vs Barnsley fixture in September at Pride Park, so fans can try out FIFA 12 before the launch and play as their favourite team.
  
• EA SPORTS will be running a Derby County Pro Player Tournament at the training ground using the new EA SPORTS FIFA gaming trailer to determine which Derby County player is the best FIFA 12 gamer.
