Australia, represent!
Kylian Mbappe and Australian Sam Kerr were recently confirmed as the cover stars of FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition.
The pair will feature on the Ultimate Edition cover round the world.
You can get a full look at the Ultimate Edition cover below. The appearance marks Mbappe’s third consecutive cover appearance, and Kerr’s first.
The announcement means that Kerr will be one of the very last EA Sports FIFA cover stars in the franchise’s current format. A split between EA and FIFA means the popular football franchise will become EA Sports Football Club come 2023.
It’s been a hugely successful year for Kerr — she and Chelsea won this year’s English Super League and the FA Cup. She’ll also play in the World Cup with the Matildas next year.
