Women's football has been soaring in popularity in recent years, and more representation of the women's game in EA Sports FC can only make EA Sports' new game better.
EA Sports FC is the brand-new football game being released by EA later this year, with the publisher creating the game after its 30-year relationship with FIFA ended last year following a dispute over the license price of the FIFA branding. EA's CEO Tom Wilson claimed EA would be better off without FIFA and that the only value FIFA provided was “four letters on the front of the box”, so now running solo, EA Sports has the chance to make the best football game in years.
And, if EA wants this game to become the best, then EA FC 24 will need to include much more women's football content. FIFA 23 saw big strides made for women's football, with the publisher making a big statement by including Chelsea's Sam Kerr on the FIFA 23 cover alongside Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.
