“I’m delighted that the Barclays Women’s Super League will be one of the first women’s club competitions to feature in EA SPORTS FIFA 23, with the franchise historically having one of the largest and most engaged gaming communities in the world,” said Navin Singh, The FA’s Commercial Director. “The added visibility a global brand like EA SPORTS will provide for our league, teams and players cannot be underestimated.”
The inclusion of the Barclays Women’s Super League and Division 1 Arekma will add some of the biggest women’s club teams, including 19,000+ players across 700+ teams. Game modes such as Career Mode, Pro Clubs, VOLTA, and Ultimate Team will receive a variety of advancements and innovations as well.
For new players, the new Training Center coaching system will allow them to learn the fundamentals of gameplay and practice their skills before jumping into challenging game modes.
