FIFA 23: EA Sports promise "more exciting updates" for women’s football fans

EA Sports marketing director James Salmon has promised “more exciting updates” about women’s football on FIFA 23.

It was announced earlier this month that women’s club teams would be added to FIFA for the first time ever.

Gamers will be able to choose between teams from the Women’s Super League in England and the Division 1 Féminine in France.

Salmon told GiveMeSport Women that the response to the news had been “phenomenal”.

“Integrating women’s club football in-game provides so many more opportunities for fans to play as their favourite players including the likes of Sam Kerr, Catarina Macario and Chloe Kelly,” he said. “It’s been great to see this celebrated.”

“The reaction to the introduction of WSL and D1 Arkema has been fantastic, all I can say for now is that we’re looking forward to sharing more exciting updates over the next few months.”

Salmon also discussed the impact he expected the inclusion of women’s football on FIFA 23 to have on the sport in real life.
