FIFA, also known as FIFA Soccer and FIFA Football, is a series of association football video games, released annually by Electronic Arts under the EA Sports label. While there was no major competition when EA released the first titles in their American Football and Hockey series, football video games such as Sensible Soccer, Kick Off and Match Day had been developed since the late 1980s and already competitive in the games market when EA Sports announced a football game as the next addition to their EA Sports label.
When the series began in late 1993 it, was notable for being the first to have an official licence from FIFA, the world governing body of football. The latest installments in the series contain many exclusively-licenced leagues including league and teams from around the world, including the English Premier League and Football League, Italian Serie A, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, Portuguese Liga Sagres French Ligue 1, Dutch Eredivisie, Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Mexican Primera División, American Major League Soccer, South Korean K-League and Australian Hyundai A-League, allowing the use of real leagues, clubs, and player names and likenesses within the games.
The main series has been complemented by additional installments based on single major tournaments, such as the FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Football Championship, and UEFA Champions League, as well as a series of football management titles.
Currently, Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney are the faces of the franchise, appearing on front cover of every game being released in the series and in promotional campaigns and advertisements in the media.

The series has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling video game franchises.
