Leyton Orient FIFA 20 UltimateQuaranTeam draw in full: 128-team tournament confirmed amid coronavirus shutdown

The time has come. Yes, Leyton Orient have revealed the first-round draw for their 128-team Fifa 20 UltimateQuaranTeam tournament with football in lockdown due to coronavirus.

Orient's Twitter plea for teams to join in with a bit of fun has been met with a stunning response, with clubs from all around the world seeing the tournament quickly grow from an initial 64 sides to a mammoth 128-team tournament.

With #UltimateQuaranTeam set to be trending on Twitter this evening, the likes of Manchester City, Ajax, West Ham, Orlando City and Grimsby Town will discover their virtual fate.

Sixteen different countries are represented, with the only provision that teams must represent themselves - and the tournament will help to raise money for EFL clubs suffering amid the shutdown, charity MIND, and the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fundraiser by WHO.

With a mixture of fans and footballers set to take part, the draw will no doubt take the football world by storm with supporters swapping the pitch for pixellated heroes.
