Alex Scott Is The First Female Commentator in FIFA 22
English football pundit Alex Scott will be the first female commentator in the FIFA series with this year’s instalment.
Alex Scott is an ex-England international right-back with 140 caps and is an excellent pundit, and I personally always enjoy hearing her perspective on football. So, I believe this is great news that she will now be part of FIFA 22.
Alex Scott won’t be a main commentator in the game, but rather a “Goal Commentator” which pretty much falls in line with her real-world job as a football pundit.
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— Alex Scott MBE (@AlexScott) July 21, 2021
“This is a big moment for FIFA, for football and women and girls across the world,” said Alex Scott. “Representation is crucial and the inclusion of an English-speaking female commentator on FIFA is game-changing. The impact it will have is simply stratospheric. It’s a big moment for me personally and professionally.
“It’s an honour to be part of the FIFA gaming institution, alongside some of my brilliant presenting colleagues. 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 EA SPORTS and the football community as a whole.”
FIFA 22 will release from October 1st for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
