Will FIFA come from Take-Two in the future? The CEO is keeping a low profile

Is Publisher Take-Two a potential partner for FIFA? The long-standing partnership between the Football Association and Electronic Arts will end next year.

EA has already announced that it will continue its series under the name EA Sports FC. And FIFA also wants to continue regardless.

Will Take-Two step in?

According to FIFA, talks are being held with “leading video game publishers, media companies and investors”, but no details were given.

Take-Two is already quite active in the sporting arena through the 2K Games label, working on officially licensed wrestling, basketball, football and golf games.

FIFA would fit in well there, wouldn’t it? “We are definitely interested in expanding our opportunities in the sports sector,” says Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick in the course of announcing the current business figures.

More on the subject:

“FIFA is a great brand and has incredible clout, but we don’t have any plans to discuss at this time.”

“We noticed that [die FIFA-Lizenz zur Verfügung steht], and we tend to always conduct our business with care. We look forward to continuing to grow our sports business, but don’t have much more to say at the moment.”

“I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that bears the FIFA name will be the best available for gamers and football fans,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently. “The FIFA name is the only global, original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25, FIFA 26 and so on – the constant is the FIFA name. It will last forever and will remain THE BEST.”
