FIFA and EA Sports are set to end their partnership after two decades of the video game

Electronic Arts (EA) will stop producing its hugely successful FIFA video game in its existing name, marking a split in one of football's most successful and lucrative partnerships after the sides failed to hit a new licensing deal.

The current deal, which was to end after this year’s World Cup in Qatar, has been modified to run through to the Women’s World Cup next summer. Once that tournament is over, the company said, 150 million FIFA video game players will have to get used to a new name for the series: EA Sports FC.

The game itself will not vary much. Most of the world’s renowned clubs and superstars will still be playable because of separate licensing agreements with their teams and leagues. Anyways, the World Cup itself and other FIFA-controlled events will no longer be included.

On the other side, FIFA promised a "number of new non-simulation games (that) are already under production" and will launch forth of the 2022 World Cup that kicks off in Qatar on this November. FIFA said it intends to construct a "new gaming model" and cited the recent takeoff of its streaming platform FIFA+.

"I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans," FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in the statement.
