Kylian Mbappe has been revealed as the cover star for FIFA 23, with the Paris Saint-Germain forward serving as the face of the game for a third successive year. The 28-year-old is still considered to be the leading talent of his generation, and his goals propelled his club to the Ligue 1 title in the 2021-22 season.
Mbappe was also named as a cover star for the FIFA 23 Ulitmate Edition but is sharing that honor with Chelsea Women star Sam Kerr, who has become the first female player to appear on the cover of the popular EA Sports game.
Mbappe followed in the footsteps of star names such as Virgil van Dijk and Eden Hazard when he was chosen to be the face of FIFA 21 – his first time appearing on the front cover of the game.
The 23-year-old was given the honor once again for FIFA 22 and has now completed a unique hat-trick, one year short of a run enjoyed by his PSG team-mate Lionel Messi while at Barcelona for FIFA 13, 14, 15, and 16.
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney still holds the record for the most consecutive cover appearances between FIFA 06 to 12.
