The Electronic Football Association is a new concept and company operating in the UK. It will set up a shadow league of football fans from each Premiership Football Club in England who represent their chosen teams and play against each other using console football games. There will be a full season of fixtures, exactly mirroring the Premiership and the players will bask in the glory of new fame and fortune as their plight will be televised and they will be handsomely paid for their work. The Electronic Football Association has some major sponsors and will feature weekly from May 2011 on a popular television channel. In addition to the program there will be much coverage on the internet via social networks and websites and there is also be an eFA Radio Station & Podcast. Qualification for the 3 team members representing each club will take place from February 2011 and teams will be ready to go for the start of the new football season.
