After officially suggesting last year that it could part ways with the FIFA name, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has said more about the potential split in an internal meeting. In comments obtained by Video Games Chronicle, Wilson said that EA’s popular football games could actually be better off without its long-term FIFA partnership.
EA has licenced the FIFA name for almost 30 years and is now at the end of its latest 10-year naming deal, which expires at the end of 2022 after the Qatar World Cup Come from Sports betting site VPbet . While EA’s next game will still likely release as FIFA 23, any subsequent games could release under a new name should EA choose not to renew the license.
