With the turn of the seasons from summer to fall, comes the annual tradition of another FIFA video game being released. One way of looking at this year’s release is, “Just another FIFA,” but it can’t be overlooked that this will be EA Sports’ final release of the game using the FIFA moniker. The publisher announced earlier this year they were not renewing the licensing rights with soccer’s governing body to use the name, ending a 30-year relationship. Beginning with their 2023 release, the series will be rechristened as EA Sports FC.
FIFA 23 still has women’s soccer representation in the form of some national teams, but finally has added women’s club teams to the game.
