Ultimate QuaranTeam is an ongoing e-sports tournament using the FIFA 20 video game and hosted by English football league side Leyton Orient in response to the suspension of real-world footballing events affected by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, which the name of the tournament alludes to. The first round of matches were played on 22 March 2020, with the final match scheduled for early April. Hosts Leyton Orient were knocked out by Lokomotiv Moscow in the opening game of the tournament, a 6–3 home defeat.
Background[edit]
Entrants[edit]
In total, 128 teams from 20 different countries (including the four constituent nations of the United Kingdom) entered the competition.[1] However, two teams – Accrington Stanley and Watford – withdrew before the commencement of the first round, citing the sponsorship of the competition by The Sun as a reason due to the ongoing boycott of the newspaper in the United Kingdom.
