Hazard said of the honor: “I have played FIFA all of my life and it’s a huge honor to be asked to be on the cover of FIFA 15. Now I have played the game I can say it’s the most realistic football game I have seen, so I cannot wait to challenge my friends and team-mates.”
EA Sports is also the official gaming partner of Chelsea FC and the club said that the relationship between the two “will bring exciting digital and social media content for Chelsea fans, alongside exciting experiences at Stamford Bridge throughout the coming seasons.” We’re not entirely sure what that means but it does sound quite exciting for Chelsea fans that are fans of the game.

The Head of UK Product Marketing for EA SPORTS Dan Holman also said: “We’re delighted to have Eden on the cover of FIFA 15 and to be working with him and Chelsea in showcasing the Barclays Premier League to the amazing level of detail that the game will deliver this year.”
This is another example of the club going above and beyond with their business dealings and staying on the cutting edge in terms of technology and improving fan experiences. It is also very cool seeing one of your favorite players from your favorite team on the cover of one of the biggest games on the market.
