“Back on the cover of @EASPORTSFIFA,” Hazard tweeted following the announcement. “Not bad for a lad from a small village in Belgium!”
So far EA hasn’t confirmed who will front the Ultimate Edition of the game, but have hinted that the cover star will be announced “soon”.
The news comes hot on the heels of the FIFA 20 gameplay trailer, which landed last week. We also recently found out about some big improvements to FIFA 20’s Pro Clubs, including increased customization for Virtual Pros, new match types, and more kits.
