Tiakola, FC93 and Nike pay tribute to ‘93

The French department, located on the outskirts of Paris, saw the birth of historic figures such as Kylian Mbappé, Tiakola and William Saliba.

It is not just a number. It is a symbol. France’s 93rd department has always been synonymous with attitude, raw talent and a cultural vitality that knows no bounds. It’s a place where stories that make a difference are forged, and this December they’re celebrating with an activation on another level. Nike, EA SPORTS FC and Football Club 93 (FC93) are teaming up to take the spirit of this district to the top, fusing football, music and culture in one historic action.

At the heart of this celebration is Tiakola, the artist with 93 in his veins. With an exclusive jersey designed by him, the rapper pays homage to his hometown in a unique way, now available at EA SPORTS™ FC 25. This jersey is not just a piece of clothing; it is a symbol of the unwavering talent that has come out of 93 generation after generation, a reminder that some of the biggest names in global sport, music and fashion are born from there. It is the pride of a community that never stops giving its best.

The collaboration between Nike and FC93 amplifies this message. They chose a club that, like 93 itself, is the perfect blend of football and music culture. With 2,000 members and an elite squad (including names like Bakary Sako), FC93 is the backbone of semi-professional football in the region. But what really makes it special is its connection to rap and neighbourhood culture, represented by figures such as Sefyu, an icon who reflects the essence of 93: resilience, power and authenticity.

This activation is not just another project, it is proof that 93 is always one step ahead. In football, music, and culture, it remains the source of excellence, ambition and an unwavering community that continues to inspire the whole world.
