FIFA president tells fans to ‘get ready’ for video game set to rival EA Games

FIFA president Gianni Infantino says the new game it is developing to rival EA Sports’ FC24 “will be the best”.

However, Infantino pointed out to his organisation’s Congress in Bangkok on Friday that the end of the partnership did not mean the end of FIFA’s involvement in gaming.

“We will develop a new e-game, because (the) football simulation game is called FIFA for hundreds of millions of children around the world.
