EA Sports has announced that Cristiano Ronaldo will be their global cover star for FIFA 18.
The game is slated for a September 29 release.
The Real Madrid forward had a great season which saw him grab a brace in the final of the Uefa Champions League against Juventus and making him an early favourite for the 2017 Ballon d’Or.
“It is a real pleasure to be on the cover of FIFA 18,” Ronaldo said. “It’s a great feeling and I am grateful to have been chosen.”
