International women's teams will feature in
football video game Fifa 2016 for the first time
in its history. England captain Steph Houghton and her team-
mates have been included with 11 other women's
sides for play in one of several game modes. Until now only men's teams have featured on the
popular EA Sports game which was first released in
1993. "To be one of the first female players included is
something we'll always be able to look back on,"
said Houghton. "Hopefully it will help raise the profile of the
women's game even further," added the 27-year-
old Manchester City defender. The women's teams on Fifa 16 Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France,
Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the
United States of America Houghton will lead her country to the summer
World Cup, beginning on 6 June in Canada, with
England to meet Colombia, France and Mexico in
their group. But will Fifa-16 designers give the England players
the skills in a virtual reality setting that they
showcase in real life? Will Houghton be rated as a
good technically on a computer game as she
hopes? "Quite a few of us in the team play Fifa so I'm sure
there will be a bit of banter about our ratings. I'm
looking forward to scoring as myself for the first
time," she added. Fifa 16 designers used American striker Abby
Wambach - the top international goalscorer of all
time with 170, according to her national team's
website - to record the typical movements of a
female footballer and players have been head
scanned in order to create a lifelike look ahead of the September release. The England players were scanned at St George's
Park in February. Eniola Aluko told BBC Sport: "I think it shows where
the [women's] game's going in terms of how fans
can engage with us in a game. It's really cool
although it's a bit weird to do all pictures and facial
expressions but it will be nice to see how it will all
turn out. "My little brother will be very excited to play me on
Fifa. He'll find it fascinating. I'm excited to see his
reaction." "Bringing some of the best women's players and
teams in the world to our franchise is a massive
event for EA Sports," said David Rutter, vice
president and general manager of EA Sports.
