Alex Morgan, Christine Sinclair and Stephanie Catley named as first female Fifa 16 cover stars
Computer game Fifa 16 is to feature female cover stars for the first time.
In the US, forward Alex Morgan features on the cover alongside the publisher’s global cover athlete, Lionel Messi, and in Canada, national team capitan Christine Sinclair appears beside the FC Barcelona favourite.
“As soon as we knew Women’s National Teams were joining Fifa 16, we immediately recognised that Christine and Alex would be the perfect cover athletes based on their accomplishments and what they represent for their respective countries and the sport of women’s soccer,” explained David Pekush, marketing manager at game publisher EA Sports.
“They are exhilarating players and exude heart and courage on the pitch, and we are extremely proud to be working with them this year.”
Stephanie Catley of the Australian national team will also appear on Fifa 16 covers.
Fifa 16 will be available for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC later in the year.
