“We're thankful for our many years of great partnership with FIFA," EA CEO Andrew Wilson said.

"The future of global football is very bright, and fandom around the world has never been stronger. We have an incredible opportunity to put EA SPORTS FC at the heart of the sport, and to bring even more innovative and authentic experiences to the growing football audience.”
