Since EA Sports severed its 30-year association with FIFA, the upcoming football game is going to be historically significant for both the gaming company and the record-breaking Manchester City star.

The 22-year-old Norwegian had an exceptionally successful season to record. He has set multiple records since joining Pep Guardiola's team last summer for an estimated £51.2 million.

Haaland has made a name among his peers as one of the most prominent players in international football, amassing the most goals in an entire Premier League campaign (35), as well as the fastest player to reach 30 goals in the Champions League (25 games).

And it seems that the previous Borussia Dortmund frontman will be awarded a spot on the front cover of EA Sports FC 24 after winning the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup with City this past season.

The box art for FIFA's greatest-selling games has included Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe for the previous three iterations [FIFA 21, FIFA 22 and FIFA 23].

However, contrary to details supplied on the website Dealabs by trustworthy leaker and data miner @billbil_kun, Haaland will take the position of the French forward.

Additionally, according to the leak, the Ultimate edition will have up to 31 participants, including Vinicius Jr., Pele, Zinedine Zidane, Sam Kerr, and Son Heung-min.

EA Sports FC 24 is scheduled to be published on September 29, 2023, while owners of the Ultimate Edition will be able to begin playing it on Friday, September 22, 2023. From the precise same date, EA Play customers can get their 10 hours of prior admission.
