To celebrate the launch of FIFA Street, EA Sports surveyed Socceroos and A-League stars to discover the best streets and geographic locations to live in to produce footballing success.

Data collated from the Socceroos, Central Coast Mariners, Brisbane Roar, Perth Glory, Sydney FC and Adelaide United also revealed that you’re most likely to produce a footballer if you live on a street, rather than a road or an avenue, with 33 percent of respondents having done so.

It has been proven that streets beginning with the letter “B” produce the most successful footballers, with 17 percent of respondents growing up on streets beginning with this letter.

The best suburbs to live in are those that begin with a “W” with 12 percent of respondents growing up in such suburbs.

Players such as Mark Schwarzer, Alex Brosque, Brett Emerton and Erik Paartalu have given mums and dads the inside edge by revealing the geographical factors that may be instrumental in rising to soccer stardom.

Key findings included:

· Streets beginning with the letter “B” produce the most footballers – 17 percent of respondents

· You’re most likely to become a footballer if you live on a street – 33 percent of respondents

· You’re least likely if you live on a terrace – 2 percent of respondents

· Suburbs beginning with the letter “W” produce the most footballers – 12 percent of respondents

· Best suburbs to live in if you want to become a footballer are:

o Kings Park, NSW

o Prospect, QLD

o Regents Park, SA

o St Clair, VIC

FIFA Street allows players to replicate this rise from the streets to football fame and glory. Players can compete everywhere from parking lots and parks to 5v5 futsal-style tournaments in the world’s biggest cities.

The game also allows you to play with and against the stars of the most popular clubs in the world—or real-life street players including Australia's premier street footballer Daniel Cappellaro.

Cappellaro – aka D10 – is the only Australian amongst some of the world’s biggest names including Lionel Messi and Manchester United to appear in the title.

“It’s very cool I’m in this video game,” the 26-year-old Perth-based player recently told au.foufourtwo.com.

CHECK HIM OUT IN REAL LIFE AND IN THE GAME:

Cappellaro recently spent the weekend in Melbourne at the FIFA Street Australian Freestyle Football Championships.

There he gave a master-class in street football skills including the Flip Flap, Hocus Pocus, Jinga Beat and Heel Chop. He also judged in various categories.

‘Insane’ Kane Edwards, took home the FIFA Street Australian Freestyle Football Titles defeating ‘C-mooth’ Curtis Maher in the finale.

The Australian title was the fledgling sports first world ranking points event with Edwards on his way to earning enough points to win a place on the 2013 World Freestyle Series, the sport’s professional world circuit.

As part of the game promotion, Cappellaro has met high profile sports stars and appeared on TV shows such as Sunrise.

“I’ve been putting all these pictures on my Facebook page," he said. “But I’m also copping a lot of stick from my mates who are questioning how I look in the game compared to how I look in real life!”

But the game itself is the real deal promised Cappellaro.

“When you’re playing FIFA you’re experiencing something similar every time. The game’s durability and playability just extends and extends,” he said.
