THE largest gaming venue in the North-East is hosting a FIFA 18 knockout tournament on Saturday.

Competitors will be able to prove who is king at the football video game and have a chance to win 2200 FIFA points.

Harry Knott, who manages Harry’s Game Shack in Sunderland, said: “We know how competitive people can be at FIFA, with everyone thinking they are better than their mates.

"If people think they are the best at FIFA in Sunderland, this is their opportunity to prove it. We’re looking forward to some awesome and dramatic football matches being played on Saturday. It’s going to be a blast.”

The tournament will be single-elimination, with five-minute halves, and keepers set to professional difficulty. Competitors will be able to choose to play as any team from any league, except for international teams.

Entry to the tournament is £5 and will take place between noon and 4pm. Those wanting to take part must be registered by 12.10pm on the day.

Harry’s Game Shack is found upstairs in Geeky’s, in Sunderland city centre.
