At Pestapora 2026, one of Indonesia’s largest music and cultural festivals, EA SPORTS FC Mobile brought the thrill of football into a new arena, blending the energy of gaming with the vibrancy of live entertainment.

As a festival that celebrates diversity, creativity, and youth culture, Pestapora provided the perfect stage for EA SPORTS FC Mobile to showcase how The World’s Game extends beyond the pitch. To amplify this experience, EA SPORTS partnered with Status Pro Sport to bring our athlete Sandy Walsh into the activation.

Sandy’s presence was more than symbolic. His authenticity, international career, and strong connection with Indonesian fans aligned seamlessly with EA SPORTS FC Mobile’s values of community, passion, and accessibility. Throughout the day, Sandy engaged in game battles, interacted with fans, and shared stories that bridged the virtual pitch with real-world football culture.

The booth quickly became a hub where festival-goers could compete, connect, and celebrate football in a fresh, interactive way. By integrating a professional athlete into the gaming experience, EA SPORTS FC Mobile and Status Pro Sport created a dynamic activation that resonated with both football enthusiasts and the wider Pestapora audience.

This collaboration demonstrated how football can thrive at the intersection of sport, gaming, and culture, turning a festival moment into a shared celebration of identity and passion.
