We're well into EA FC 24 now, and it's shaping up to be just as successful as any FIFA that's come before. There are still killer promo events in 2024, and we still can't get enough of the soundtrack.

Despite the name change, it's retained much of what made the previous FIFAs so great. This includes the ability to perform viral internet dance The Griddy, first introduced in FIFA 23.

Wondering how to get down with the kids and celebrate in style after a goal on FC 24? Let's take a look at The Griddy.

How to do the Griddy in EA FC 24

To do the Griddy in FC 24, first things first - you'll need to score a goal. Once the player is celebrating, do the following:

More like this
  • Hold down the right trigger.
  • Flick the right stick up, twice, in fairly quick succession.

When we say the "right trigger", we, of course, mean the R2 on PlayStation, RT on Xbox and ZR on the Switch.

What is the Griddy? Viral celebration dance explained

As you'd expect from a viral dance, the Griddy made its debut on social media.

But it's not the usual suspect of TikTok. The Griddy first appeared on Snapchat, in a video from high school footballer Allen Davis back in 2018. That being said, it went on to blow up on TikTok.

Since Davis created it, the dance has become an international sensation. It first appeared in the pro sporting world with (we think) NFL player Ja'Marr Chase, and has since been performed as a victory dance by Mac Jones, Jesse Lingard and Jérémy Doku.

This should go without saying, but, on the subject of games, the Griddy has appeared in Fortnite too.

To perform the Griddy IRL, tap your heels, swing your arms back and forth, then bring you hands to your face in a glasses shape (throwing your Bs).
