EA Sports announced today (oh that timing) that 12 Women's National Teams will, for the first time ever in the franchise's history, be included in FIFA 16. Teams from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the United States will all be included in FIFA 16 and able to play in any of the various game modes.
From all new player movement and likeness, to realistic animations and attributes, the FIFA development team have authentically recreated 12 of the top-ranked teams in the world. Capturing all new player movement was done with meticulous detail and supported by a motion capture session at EA Canada with four top players from United States Women’s National Team: Sydney Leroux, Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan, and Megan Rapinoe. The players’ movements helped to build new locomotion for women in FIFA 16 including new walks, runs, sprints, and horizontal movement. Soccer Canada also visited EA to provide full-player references captured using the 360 degree body scanning rig – the references were then used to develop new player models. And the mobile headscanning unit travelled to a variety of tournaments and events around the world to capture facial features including hairstyles to ensure players look as realistic as possible in FIFA 16. Players in the game will look and move in game like they do on the pitch when representing their country.

Again, the Women's National Teams will be included at launch for the game when it comes out on September 22, 2015 for the PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. You can see how more of your favorite female athletes look in-game over at EA Sports.
