THE FIFA series has a long history of predicting match wins using the latest AI technology.
While the simulation can’t get the subtleties of each match correct, it’s usually pretty accurate when it comes to the winners.
FIFA 15 cover star Alex Morgan made Team of the Tournament.
It has guessed the correct winner of the FIFA World Cup for the last four years, including Argentina’s win last year.
The reason for the accuracy of these predictions is that FIFA uses motion technology to correctly record how each footballer plays.
By having accurate data on each player, it can more easily predict how each match will play out.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup is well underway in Australia and New Zealand, and we’re closing in on the top 16.
FIFA 23 is celebrating the event by releasing a free update in-game with special challenges for the World Cup.
We used this to run a simulation of all the matches and find out who FIFA 23 thinks will come out on top.
Following on from their 1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019 wins, the game thinks that USA will take the crown again this year.
The simulation put them up against France in the final, with Spain beating Jamaica for third place.
It also gave us a look at the players it thinks will do well in Team of the Tournament:
- Naeher (United States)
- Fox (United States)
- Renard (France)
- Girma (United States)
- Périsset (France)
- Mariona (Spain)
- Horan (United States)
- Dunn (United States)
- Diani (France)
- Shaw (Jamaica)
- Morgan (United States)
Whether any of these predictions will become reality, we won’t find out until the World Cup reaches its finale on August 20.
However, these results are particularly interesting as women will be able to join Ultimate Team, starting from EA Sports FC 24 in September.
