Football fans are going to the polls to decide the cover star of EA Sports FIFA 17.

The four ambassadors of the game – James Rodriguez, Eden Hazard, Marcos Reus and Anthony Martial – will go head-to-head in a vote to see who gets the honour of becoming the face of the world's biggest football game.

All voting will take place on the official FIFA Cover Vote Website beginning today and running through up to July 20th. Fans can vote online once per day for their favourite player and earn extra votes by utilizing the auto-share feature with the hashtag #FIFA17CoverReward.

Hazard, Martial, Reus and James worked wit EA Sports to change FIFA's gameplay.

FIFA 17’s four cover contenders – all individually known for their attacking style of play – are also global ambassadors for FIFA 17 and worked with EA SPORTS to influence gameplay and bring innovation to the way players think and move, physically interact with opponents, take set pieces, and use new techniques in attack.

“James, Martial, Hazard, and Reus represent exciting, attacking football and epitomize the innovative play that fans can expect in FIFA 17,” said Nick Channon, Senior Producer for EA SPORTS FIFA. “We’re excited to see fans rally around their favorite players and see who they select as the cover star for the franchise, and the footballer who will represent FIFA 17 globally.”

FIFA 17 is released in North America on September 27th and worldwide on September 29th.
