Aside from all-new gameplay technology, FIFA is also introducing its first-ever English-speaking female commentator in its 2022 release. The latest version of the game will see soccer pundit Alex Scott become the English language version’s first female voice.
“This is a big moment for FIFA, for football and [for] women and girls across the world,” Scott said on Twitter.
According to NME, the presenter will report on matches happening during virtual gameplay, similar to other commentators Derek Rae and Stewart Robinson.
While Scott is the first English-speaking female commentator in FIFA, Spanish presenter Nira Juanra was the first-ever female voice in the game’s history when she was added to the 2021 version.
“Whilst I am the first English-speaking female broadcaster to feature in FIFA, I will certainly not be the last. I know this is just the start of stronger female footballing representation from EA Sports FIFA and the football community as a whole …” Scott added.
FIFA 22 is set to launch on October 1 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Happy to finally share the news that I joined the FIFA family and will be commentating for #FIFA22! 🙌🏾🎮
