All goals to one goal: the International Football Federation will release its own football simulator called ... FIFA!
In 2022, it was announced that the agreement between the International Federation of Association Football and Electronic Arts had been terminated.
As a result of this event, Electronic Arts changed its name from FIFA to EA Sports FC.
Now it was reported that Federation of Football will release their own game, and it will be called... FIFA.
This was reported by leading sports reporter for The Times, Martyn Ziegler. According to him, there will be serious competition in the market of football simulators as both FIFA and Electronic Arts will fight for the attention of gamers.
Infantino says FIFA will go head-to-head with EA Sports by launching rival video game (EA Sports refused cash demands to keep FIFA's name)

"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."
Electronic Arts will probably increase their marketing spend on EA Sports FC, as the brand is not yet known to the general public, but FIFA is.
The main question remains unanswered: who will work on making FIFA games? Most likely it will be the developers from 2K Games, because they have huge experience in the genre.
