“Both Kylian and Sam are generational talents, and having them
grace the covers of the final FIFA is a monumental moment not only
for the franchise, but for EA SPORTS as a whole,” said David
Jackson, VP Brand, EA SPORTS FC. “FIFA 23 is our most innovative
and feature packed title ever and we’re energized to have two of
football’s greatest players share their love of the game with fans
around the world.”
Chelsea FC forward Sam Kerr is one of most-talented stars in the
sport and FIFA 23 marks Kerr’s first FIFA cover. As captain of the
Australia Women’s National Team and the only female player to have
won the Golden Boot in three different leagues, on three different
continents, Sam is undoubtedly one of the finest footballers
playing anywhere in the world.
“It’s an honour and a dream come true to be on the cover of FIFA
23,” said Sam Kerr. “It’s been incredible to work with Kylian and
the whole EA SPORTS team, and I can’t wait for fans to get their
hands on a copy of the game.”
Paris Saint-Germain striker and global football icon Kylian
Mbappé graces the cover for the third year in a row, making him one
of a select few to earn that status. At just 23 years old, Mbappé
is one of the sport's brightest young stars on and off the pitch,
representing the best of a new generation of phenomenal footballing
talent.
“I’m thrilled to have been picked to be on the cover of EA
SPORTS FIFA for the 3rd time, and I’m even more excited to share a
cover honouring women’s football with a great player like Sam
Kerr,” said Kylian Mbappé. “As a huge fan of the game, I'm excited
for the final FIFA and can't wait to see you all on the pitch.”
The FIFA franchise has been produced by EA SPORTS for 30 years,
offering unrivaled authenticity and immersion, enabling players to
take to the pitch with the biggest leagues, clubs and athletes in
the world of football.
