FIFA Extends Licensing Deal With EA Sports To 2022

May 8, 2013

Expect Electronic Arts to dominate the world of digital soccer for quite some time, as EA Sports and FIFA have extended their licensing deal up through 2022.

According to EA Sports head Andrew Wilson:

EA SPORTS released the first FIFA-branded soccer game in 1993, and 20 years later our partnership with FIFA continues to be very strong.

Our franchise has become the benchmark for quality and innovation in the sports videogame genre, and we look forward to many more years of connecting with consumers around the world with our games carrying the prestigious FIFA name.

This should hardly come as a surprise, as FIFA has proven to be one of the publisher's most popular and profitable franchises. I guess gamers really love their soccer.
