Video game publisher SEGA and developer Sports Interactive have entered into a partnership with Valve that will see a number of Football Manager 2012 branded items appear in the Team Fortress 2 store.

The items include football boots, scarves for teams and a sound pack based around the dreaded South African vuvuzela.

All those who pre-order FM 2012 will get the Team Fortress 2 items for free.

Miles Jacobson, who is the studio director at Sports Interactive, stated, “When Steam and Valve came to us with this collaboration idea, it just underlined to us why we think they're brilliant.”

He added, “Outside the box thinking that just works so well. We hope all the Team Fortress 2 players enjoy using the items inside the game, and apologize in advance for the general annoyance the Vuvuzela sound pack is going to inflict on the world.”

The management simulation will be launched via Steam on October 21.
