The 19th title in the FIFA series of soccer video games, is FIFA 12. It was developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports in September 2011.
FIFA 12 is available for all major consoles, PC and iOS based devices.
The first Norwegian football league is called Tippeligaen, after the main sponsor Norsk Tipping, which is sponsoring the league since 1991. Unofficially, is called Eliteserien, the Elite League in English. From 1963 until 1990, the Norwegian first football division was known as 1.
Divisjon, or First Division in English. In 1991 the second division in Norwegian soccer took the name of 1. Divisjon and in 2005 due to sponsorship reasons it was called Adeccoligaen.
Tippeligaen features 16 teams, that play each season 540 games, 30 games per team (home and away). Every season lasts from March to November. In weekends one game will be played on Saturdays, six on Sundays and another one on Mondays.
The final two rounds are played simultaneously, meaning that all games will start at the same time so that no advantages are created from knowing the results prior to the upcoming match. Each win is awarded with three points, each draw with one point and no points are awarded for loosing. At the end of the season the team that has the most points wins the title.
The last 2 teams get relegated to the 1 Division and from there the first two teams get promoted to Tippeligaen.
On May 17 is Norways Constitution Day, so the round that is played on May 16, is the most anticipated round of the season and because of the national day off, the matches have higher attendances.
Below are revealed the Norwegian teams that activate in the first football league and which are included in FIFA 12, as well as their first line-ups and the stadiums they use in real-life.
