EA Has No Plans To Include Female Players In FIFA Games

In an interview with CVG, FIFA executive producer David Rutter says there are currently no plans to include any female players to its FIFA games.

Here’s his full statement:

“We get literally thousands upon thousands of suggestions from our fans for new features and we have to evaluate those suggestions, such as the inclusion of female players in the game, against our resources, priorities and overall fan feedback. At present, we don’t have plans to include female players in the game.”

This is a response to a petition created a few days ago wanting EA to include female players to its FIFA games. The petition says that “over 40% of soccer players in the US are girls“.

Do you think EA will reconsider and put female players to a FIFA game sometime in the near future?
