Landon Donovan, Kaka, and Vela to Grace EA Sports Cover

A Trio of Soccer Stars Featured on Latest EA Sports Game

Los Angeles Galaxy star Landon Donovan will join Real Madrid's Kaka and Arsenal's Carlos Vela on the cover of the latest EA Sports soccer game. This is the first time that three players have graced the cover of an EA Sports game.

Donovan, Kaka, and Vela Represent Global Appeal of Soccer

The choice of Donovan, Kaka, and Vela as cover stars reflects the global appeal of soccer. Donovan is a two-time MLS MVP and a member of the U.S. national team. Kaka is a Brazilian playmaker who has won the FIFA World Player of the Year award. Vela is a Mexican forward who has played for some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

By featuring these three players on the cover, EA Sports is hoping to appeal to soccer fans around the world. The game will be released on September 30, 2023, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

In 2002, EA Opted for Three Cover Stars

This is not the first time that EA Sports has featured multiple players on the cover of a soccer game. In 2002, the company opted for three cover stars: Roberto Carlos, Ryan Giggs, and Edgar Davids. All three players were at the peak of their careers at the time and helped to promote the game to a global audience.
