Forthcoming technical work - being carried out ahead of the release of FIFA 09 - will mean that older videos uploaded from FIFA 08 will be temporarily unavailable on Football World from Tuesday 23 September.

Sorry about that. We expect the videos to be unavailable for between one and two weeks, after which they should be back exactly as they were.

Another - more permanent - effect of the technical work will be that statistics data will no longer be published from FIFA 08. This will affect anyone who still checks out their stats on the old FIFA 08 website.

The reason for that is a huge migration of existing data to new servers so we can start displaying all your game information from FIFA 09 on Football World once the game streets. In fact, this is the case for all pre-2007 EA Sports' games, just in case you play anything other than FIFA.
