Jeffrey Acevedo’s connection to soccer began when he was only three years old and landed him the opportunity to play collegiately at Concordia College of New York. After a groin injury ended his playing days, JisForJeff rededicated himself to school and turned to FIFA for competitive thrills.
When FIFA 18 came out, JisForJeff began his climb amongst the top gamers in the United States, collecting numerous top 100 finishes. Following the release of FIFA 19, he hit top 100 in the opening week with a record of 29-1 which earned him a spot in the qualifiers of the FIFA 19 World Series.
