    FIFA 21: Ibrahimovic against EA Sports for using his image

    UPDATE: EA Sports has released an official statement regarding Ibrahimovic's tweet, which says:

    EA SPORTS FIFA is the world's leading football video game and, to create an authentic experience, year after year we work with numerous leagues, teams and individual talents to ensure the similarity rights of the players we include. One of these is a longstanding relationship with the global representative of professional footballers, FIFPro, who works with a number of licensees to negotiate deals for the benefit of players and their unions.



    Through his official Twitter profile, the Swedish champion of Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, publicly complained about theuse of his image in FIFA 21 from Electronic Arts: “Someone has been making a profit on my name and face with no deal all these years. It's time to investigate “, this is a comment from Ibra, posted under his own Tweet.

    Who gave FIFA EA Sport permission to use my name and face? Maybe FIFPro? I am not aware that I am a Fifpro member and if I am, I was put there with no real knowledge through some weird maneuver. And I've certainly never allowed FIFAo Fifpro to make money using my image.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic currently leads the Serie A standings with his Milan and is present in FIFA 21 (Here our review), like all his teammates, with particular care thanks to an agreement between Electronic Arts and AC Milan for the exclusive use of the rights of the Rossoneri club on the EA Sports football videogame. So much so that in PES 2021 Konami was forced to use a generic "Milan RN". Apparently, however, the image of Zlatan would have been used, until today, without any kind of agreement with the player (in his own words, as just shown).



    Who gave FIFA EA Sport permission to use my name and face? @FIFPro? I'm not aware to be a member of Fifpro and if I am I was put there without any real knowledge through some weird manouver.
    And for sure I never allowed @FIFAcom or Fifpro to make money using me
