Former Black Stars captain Abedi Pele Ayew is set to become the fourth African footballer to appear on FIFA 22’s Icon list.
The launch for EA Sports FIFA 22 is getting ever closer, and more news will surface ahead of the release.

Every year, football legends are added to the roster. Didier Drogba was the first African player to be named a FIFA Ultimate Team icon.
