Bale announced as FIFA 14 cover star

Gareth Bale can add another accolade to his ever-growing collection. He has just been named as the co-cover athlete for FIFA 14, alongside Lionel Messi in the UK, Ireland and Middle East.

The Tottenham player will join Lionel Messi on the front of the cult football game.

“The players on the front cover since I was a kid have obviously been legends of the game,” said Bale.

“It’s a great honor for me and I’m very proud of it.”

EA SPORTS captured Gareth Bale’s free kick technique via motion capture and this will feature in FIFA 14. Bale was also filmed performing a series of athletic drills, passes and shots to capture his likeness and to showcase features such as FIFA 14’s Pure Shot, which allows for new and rewarding ways to score.
