Jude Bellingham Revealed as EA SPORTS FC™ 25 Cover Star
Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced Real Madrid and England superstar, Jude Bellingham, as the cover athlete for EA SPORTS FC™ 25, ahead of its worldwide launch later this year.
Making his mark as the youngest global cover star to feature on an EA SPORTS football game, Bellingham will also be featured as the new cover athlete for EA SPORTS FC Mobile. Captured at El Clásico in April, the EA SPORTS FC 25 Standard Edition cover was created using the iconic image of Jude posing in his renowned Belligol celebration, after scoring the stoppage time winner in front of his home crowd at the Bernabéu.
Then, in a way only EA SPORTS FC can make possible, football’s biggest names came together on-set in Madrid for the EA SPORTS FC 25 Ultimate Edition cover, revealed earlier this week, where Bellingham appears alongside Ballon d’Or Féminin winner Aitana Bonmatí, and football icons David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Gianluigi Buffon, accompanied by 17 of the world’s most coveted football trophies — including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League, Ballon d’Or, Premier League, LALIGA, Liga F, Serie A, and Ligue 1 amongst many others — each representing iconic moments in our cover stars’ illustrious careers.
“From the moment he announced himself on the global stage, Jude has exemplified what it means to give everything for the club. His performances for both Real Madrid and England have cemented his status as a truly generational talent, with an incredible ability to change a game and create special moments for football fans,” said David Jackson, VP Brand, EA SPORTS FC. “Jude is the perfect ambassador for EA SPORTS FC. He aligns strongly with our future; as we move from product to platform, transcending the sport at the intersection of football, culture and entertainment, and we’re thrilled to welcome him as this year’s EA SPORTS FC cover star.”
This season, Bellingham has flourished after his move to Real Madrid, winning the UEFA Champions League, LALIGA EA SPORTS and Supercopa de España with his club, alongside multiple individual accolades, including LALIGA Player of the Season, Laureus Breakthrough of the Year, as well as the Golden Boy and Kopa Trophies for the world’s best player under 21. He has sustained that momentum at the international level with game-defining moments that led England to the final at UEFA EURO 2024 this summer, truly confirming his star status and earning his place on the cover of EA SPORTS FC 25.
“I played this game with my brother all the time growing up, and I’ve always thought about how incredible it would be to one day be featured on the cover,” said Jude Bellingham. “There have been so many iconic players on the cover over the years, and I am delighted to be the most recent English player to be bestowed with this honour since 2011. I’m also truly honoured to be featured on the cover of Ultimate Edition with true legends of the game both past and present in Beckham, Bonmatí, Buffon and Zidane.”
