The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) joins the Barclays Women’s Super League and Arkema First Division as the third women’s soccer league ahead of the 2023 season, while the UEFA Women’s Champions League brings European nights and four new clubs to The World’s Game. in anticipation of this year’s playoffs.
Both competitions will be powered by the same dedicated Hypermotion2 technology that will power the Barclays Women’s Super League and Arkema Division 1 in FIFA 23, with authentic match capture and machine learning technology to create authentic animations based on the movements of real players.
