France World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé is the cover athlete for FIFA 21

With FIFA 21 set to release later this year, EA Sports is preparing to show fans even more about the game. Today, the company confirmed via a YouTube reminder that the reveal trailer for the game would be going live on Thursday, July 23.

Alongside the news that the reveal trailer is on its way, various members of the community may have also uncovered who will be gracing the cover of the game. After popping up in the first-look trailer of the game, it seems like Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe will be one of four players who may be getting the cover athlete treatment this year.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has been revealed as the global cover star for FIFA 21. The France international replaces Real Madrid star Eden Hazard, who was on the cover for the standard edition of the previous title in the series. Mbappe described it as a "dream come true", while creators EA Sports proclaimed the 21-year-old World Cup winner "the leader of the next generation".

Earning a cover credit this early in his career reflects how much the footballer has achieved at such a young age. Mbappé has ascended into a global icon following his senior debut for France in 2017. He became the youngest French player to score at a World Cup during the 2018 FIFA World Cup and became the second teenager behind Pelé to score in a World Cup final. He finished as the joint second-highest goalscorer as France won the tournament, and as such, received the Best Young Player and French Player of the Year awards for his performances.

FIFA is one of the biggest gaming franchises in the medium, and as Mbappé continues his march towards all-time greatness, FIFA 21 will serve as the start of the next chapter in the footballer’s illustrious career.
