Alex Morgan‘s legacy in women’s soccer is immense. Her play, her passes, her goals will remain etched in the memory of fans.
It has been a year since we have seen the former U.S. Women’s National Team striker on the pitch. In September of last year, she announced her retirement with an emotional video after 15 professional seasons and has since dedicated herself to her family.
Now, the soccer star has confirmed that she is returning to the sport, albeit in an unexpected way.
Alex’s new role in soccer
EA Sport FC 26 is generating a lot of buzz with new features and improvements in the video game, but also by announcing its new iconic players.
Through a forty-second video shared on EA FC’s official Instagram account, they announced that Alex Morgan will be present in the video game for the first time.
“Here’s the tea: Alex Morgan returns in #FC26 as an ICON,” they wrote.
In the video, a voice can be heard announcing his return at the request of the public, while a boiling kettle is observed: “And in sports news, it’s the return of an icon, after intense public demand. The voices of the many simply could not be ignored. And it seems the community have finally gotten their way. With a certain number 13…”
Followed by a series of reactions from gamers and streamers astonished by the news, the boiling kettle appears again, but the one who turns it off pours himself a cup of tea is none other than Morgan.
Her goals and exploits take over the screen, as her voiceover says, “You asked. We answered.”
“I’m back,” she says firmly and, wearing a USWNT shirt, recreates her iconic celebration sipping tea. As he sets down the cup, his FUT ICON card appears in the background.
Meanwhile, the game is expected to launch on September 26, although it can be pre-ordered. In addition to Morgan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo Nazario were also confirmed and it is expected that other legends of the sport will also have their participation.
The news does not fail to delight her fans, who will be able to see her in action again, albeit in a different way. However, there are some things that do not change, such as the joy she continues to arouse in the fans and, of course, her famous celebration.
