The inclusion of Kerr, who plays for Chelsea and Australia’s women’s teams and is widely considered one of the best female footballers in the world, marks the first time a female FIFA cover athlete is included on an internationally-released version of EA Sports’ long-running football game.
The FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition has Chelsea’s Sam Kerr and PSG’s Kylian Mbappé on the cover, EA has revealed.
Kerr appearing on the FIFA 23 cover wearing a Chelsea kit suggests the inclusion of Chelsea FC Women and, following that, the Women’s Super League – the highest league of women’s football in England – in FIFA for the first time.
French football star Mbappé makes it three FIFA covers in a row with FIFA 23.
