EA Sports have produced a number of different covers for the latest edition of their flagship football game, and it’s all very specific to regional tastes.

Celebrating the inclusion of women’s teams for the first time, the American edition features US World Cup winner Alex Morgan…
Similarly, just north of the border, Christine Sinclair makes the Canadian cover…
Shinji Kagawa’s popularity in Japan sees the Borussia Dortmund playmaker feature on the cover in his homeland edition…
In Mexico, Marco Fabian of Guadalajara gets the nod, along with his amusing shirt sponsor…
Australia plump for Tim Cahill and Stephanie Catley, in an usual looking Messi sandwich of three…
For a continent boasting some of the world’s best players, it’s a surprise to see Chelsea benchwarmer Juan Cuadrado get the South American nod…
In Turkey, Barcelona’s new signing Arda Turan joins his teammate, adorning national colours…
Another Chelsea player, Oscar, is on the Brazilian edition of the iconic game…
Whilst Inter’s Mauro Icardi enjoys the honour in Italy…
And, finally, David Alaba of Bayern Munich keeps his place in his native Austria…
