Ronaldo has been replaced on the cover of FIFA 19

Christiano Ronaldo has been entirely removed from the cover of FIFA 19, several months after the game’s release. The Juventus and Portugal star was briefly removed from some online marketing materials following allegations of sexual assault against the player, before reappearing some days later. Now, the game has a new cover featuring three entirely new players. Ronaldo’s fellow Juventus player Paulo Dybala appears on the new boxart, alongside Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne and Paris Saint-Germaine’s Neymar Jr. The trio also appears on the game’s log-in page, while the USA’s Alex Morgan also shows up in menu artwork. In a statement to Eurogamer, an EA spokesperson said that the mid-season rebrand is a result of the attachment to the UEFA Champions League, which features in EA’s series for the first time this year, having spent many years attached to Pro Evolution Soccer. The statement reads that “we often celebrate different talent across our sports games, and with the UEFA Champions League knockout stages underway we are featuring some of the biggest stars in football and bringing new players a range of content to get excited about.”
