FIFA will not be able to accuse Electronic Arts of having botched FIFA 23 to devote itself more quickly to EA Sports FC. Indeed, the American publisher seems to make it a point of honor to conclude a 30-year-old collaboration with class. After announcing that Sam Kerr would appear on both the Ultimate Edition cover (alongside Kylian Mbappé) and Standard Edition - a first in the history of the series - the American publisher now announces that Hervé Mathoux and Pierre Ménès will be replaced by a new duo of commentators: Omar Da Fonseca and Benjamin Da Silva.
For laymen, remember that the two acolytes officiate on beIN Sports and comment on the matches of La Liga, the Spanish football championship. Omar Da Fonseca is particularly known for his exuberance, especially when it comes to Lionel Messi of whom he is an absolute fan. It is hoped that he retained the same spontaneity in FIFA 23, although it is a totally different exercise. "As die-hard football fans, the EA SPORTS FIFA franchise is a staple in our daily lives. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with this hugely popular game and be able to bring our own style to the commentary. in this new edition. It's a real honor to be able to punctuate the players' matches and announce the most spectacular moments of their game."
Finally, we are entitled to a nice video where Hervé Mathoux, alone since the ousting of Pierre Ménès in 2021, is responsible for passing the baton to his two successors. A way of thanking the one who therefore bows out after 17 years of good and loyal service.
