FIFA 23: Sam Kerr becomes the first female cover athlete

Jul 20, 2022 Source: UTNICE More News

As the release of FIFA 23 draws closer to us, more and more information has been leaked. Just yesterday, the highly anticipated FIFA 23 cover athletes were revealed and we'll see PSG superstar forward Kylian Mbappe and Chelsea forward Sam Kerr as this year's cover stars.

In the cover preview released by EA, Kylian Mbappe and Sam Kerr are both wearing their home jerseys, sitting confidently together. Kylian Mbappe is still leading the way. He made 35 Ligue 1 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain last season, scoring 28 goals and providing 17 assists, leading Paris to an eighth league title in the past 10 years.This year is the third year in a row that he has been on the cover of FIFA.

Sam Kerr is a player well worth showing on the cover. Known for her 'speed, skill, tenacity, and backflip goal celebrations', she won eight trophies with Chelsea and helped the team reach their first UEFA Women's Champions League final in 2021. Since the Women's Ballon d'Or was established, Kerr is shortlisted every year and is widely regarded as one of the best women's football players and strikers in the world.

It is worth mentioning that Sam Kerr is the first female athlete to appear on the Ultimate Edition cover. Throughout the cover tradition of the FIFA series, female athletes have only been featured on regional covers, such as the North American editions of FIFA 16 featuring the United States international Alex Morgan and Canada's Christine Sinclair. So, Sam Kerr on the cover is representative, and female athletes deserve more respect.

While talks between EA Sports and football's global governing body FIFA broke down this year, and FIFA 23 is the final installment in the FIFA series, it still promises to be the biggest and best football sim to date.

FIFA 23 will announce more the next time, including the trailer, price, and pre-order information, etc. UTnice will continue to follow up for you and provide you with the information you need the first time. Not only that, but you can buy FUT 23 Coins on UTnice.com to get a head start in the game and build your ideal Ultimate Team.
