FIFA 23: Sam Kerr to Become Series’ First Female Cover Star Internationally
Australian soccer player Sam Carr will be the first female athlete to decorate the international FIFA cover after EA announces that it will appear in the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 23 alongside France’s Kylian Mbappe.
Chelsea Forward will also be the only star in the standard edition of the game in their native Australia and New Zealand. The cover will also be available internationally for Amazon only. Mbappe, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, will appear in standard editions in other regions.
“It’s an honor to decorate the cover of FIFA 23 and your dreams come true,” Kerr said. “It’s great to work with Killian and the entire EA SPORTS team, and I can’t wait for fans to get a copy of the game.”

At this time, EA launched a contest where fans could decide which player would participate in Lionel Messi on the cover. Alex Morgan was selected as an American star, Christine Sinclair was on the cover of Canada, and Stephanie Catley starred in the Australians.
