FIFA president Gianni Infantino says FIFA video game franchise will continue despite split from EA Sports

A new statement from FIFA’s president has confirmed that the iconic FIFA video game franchise is not ending anytime soon.

Giani Infantino confirmed football’s governing body is actively planning on launching its own rival soccer game following FIFA’s split with EA Sports.

There is currently speculation over the future of the FIFA  franchise after  EA pulled out of a licensing deal with FIFA.

Following its recent loss of the rights to the FIFA franchise, EA will be releasing its own EA Sports FC game featuring licensed players from various football clubs.

But FIFA have now hinted at the possibility of a FIFA 24 video game.

A new tweet from the UK Times reporter Martyn Ziegler features a quote from FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who revealed that the FIFA franchise will not be going anywhere any time soon. 

“The new FIFA game – the FIFA 25, 26, 27, and so on – will always be the best egame for any girl or boy, we will have news on this very soon.” Infantino was quoted to have said.

 EA has since been making moves following their fallout with FIFA.

The game developer giants have been in talks with the English Premier League to license its teams for future soccer games in a multi-million dollar deal.

For now, it remains to be seen whether fans will remain loyal to the FIFA franchise without EA taking charge.

However, FIFA president Gianni Infantino seems to have high hopes for the long-running franchise’s future.
