Clint Dempsey Becomes New Face of FIFA 15 in North America

US Men’s National Team Captain and Seattle Sounders FC star midfielder, medstore Clint Dempsey, apoplectic has been announced as the new face for the North American cover of FIFA 15, sickness sharing the honours with global football sensation Lionel Messi.

This will mark the first time that an American has appeared on the game’s cover since 2011.

Clint enjoyed a successful World Cup and broke records during the tournament, netting the fifth fastest goal of all time with a strike in the first 29 seconds of the USA vs. Ghana opener, and became the first American to score goals in three consecutive World Cups.

“Clint Dempsey is a world class athlete that embodies the heart and soul of the sport,” said Stuart Lang, VP of North America Marketing, Electronic Arts. “He showed his lethal combination of grace and toughness at the World Cup, and plays with enormous heart and determination on the pitch. He is the perfect ambassador for FIFA 15, a game that’s all about bringing the emotion and intensity of the sport to life.”

“It’s an amazing opportunity in my career to be on the cover for FIFA 15, a game that has played a big role in growing the popularity of the sport in America,” said Dempsey. “To join the class of other elite athletes who have appeared on previous covers is very humbling and I am extremely grateful for this honour.”
