EA has announced this week that former soccer star Alex Scott will officially be a goal commentator in the upcoming video game FIFA 22, which is set to release for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC via Origin on October 1st. This makes Scott the first-ever English-speaking female commentator for the FIFA franchise. As a goal commentator, Scott will essentially report on goals from other games during the course of a FIFA 22 match.

Happy to finally share the news that I joined the FIFA family and will be commentating for #FIFA22! 🙌🏾🎮

This is a big moment for FIFA, for football and women and girls across the world.It’s also a big moment for me personally and professionally.#FIFA22 pic.twitter.com/A1Lhozl7K6

Whilst I am the first English-speaking female broadcaster to feature in FIFA, I will certainly not be the last.

I know this is just the start of stronger female footballing representation from @EASPORTSFIFA and the football community as a whole…💗#FIFA22 pic.twitter.com/nYzJJHlPEK
