Just 26, Morgan has already made her mark on the field. Particularly with regards to Federation Internationale de Football Association, which has been embroiled in scandal and continuing to face charges that it doesn’t put equal efforts into supporting the women’s game.
“Having women’s national teams in “FIFA 16″ will be great”, Messi says.
EA’s officially licensed Federation Internationale de Football Association franchise is among the most popular titles in the sports gaming world.
Electronic Arts has announced today that Alex Morgan, forward on the championship-winning U.S. Women’s National Team, will grace of the cover of this year’s Federation Internationale de Football Association 16. He added that the company is proud to be working with them this year.
The two newly announced cover athletes shared comments on the importance of women being part of this new Federation Internationale de Football Association.
Morgan will surely be one of the higher-ranked women in the game. She called for more representation for women in both Federation Internationale de Football Association as whole as well as well as its executive committee – the latter of which has only one elected woman on its 25-member group.
It might come as a surprise to those who don’t play the game, but Morgan will be the first woman to ever appear on the cover of the game. “I know people all over the world play this game and I’m really excited that ‘FIFA 16” is putting such an important spotlight on women’s soccer.
Morgan won’t be the only female soccer star getting the cover treatment. Along with other United States teammates, they visited the development studios in Canada to provide motion-capture footage that will be used within the game.
