Kevin Strunkgrew up playing soccer and playing soccer video games -- specifically EA Sports FIFA. His playing career took him to Lehigh University where he was Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year in both 2010 and 2011, a feat that had only been accomplished three times in conference history. Kevin's college success earned him an MLS trial, but his professional dreams faded soon after. With a business degree, Kevin moved into marketing and brand roles at various companies.
Then, in 2020, his playing days, video game days and business experience came together when he joined EA Sports. Now responsible for regional brand campaigns associated with EA Sports FC, Kevin joined Founding Futbol to reflect on the importance of the video game in his life and as part of America's soccer history. He shared how EA Sports connects with various communities to promote the game and how they view its place in soccer ecosystem.
