Electronic Arts Inc. today announced that EA SPORTS has
signed one of Mexico’s most popular and accomplished footballers,
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez, to a multi-year endorsement contract that
will see him make his debut on the cover of
FIFA 14 in Mexico,
and on one of two covers in the United
States. Chicharito will appear
wearing the Mexican national team home kit alongside the world’s top
footballer, Barcelona and Argentina superstar Lionel Messi. Fans in the
United States will also have the option to choose the global cover
featuring an iconic image of the world’s No. 1 player, Messi.
Chicharito is a natural goal scorer beloved by fans in Mexico for his
exceptional performances and goal-scoring track record since he took the
world stage with the Mexican national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup
South Africa™. The 25-year-old is already the fifth highest goal scorer
of all-time for the Mexican national team. In addition, Chicharito has
gained international admiration for three incredibly successful seasons
with Manchester United Football Club.

“We have long admired the flair and passion Chicharito brings to the
sport,” said David Rutter, Executive Producer of FIFA 14. “With
Hernandez on our team we have Mexico’s best and most exciting player to
help EA SPORTS make a deeper connection with our fans.”
“For me it's a real honor to have been selected to appear on the cover
of FIFA 14, first of all because I declare myself a big fan of this
game, and second because I’m looking forward to sharing my passion for
football and EA SPORTS
FIFA 14 with fans all over the world,” said Hernandez.
The multi-faceted partnership will see Chicharito become an EA SPORTS
Football Ambassador. He will become the cornerstone of marketing and
advertising campaigns in Mexico and North America, featured on packaging
