The game is the first in the FIFA series to include female players. It is also the first in which the players on the covers were chosen by popular vote, including the first women to appear on the cover.
For the first time in the series, FIFA 16 will include female footballers, with 12 women's national teams: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. David Rutter, vice president of the company, stated that "Bringing some of the best women's players and teams in the world to our franchise is a massive event for EA Sports". In February 2013, Spanish captain Verónica Boquete had used a Change.org petition to lobby FIFA to include female players, earning over 20,000 signatures in its first 24 hours.
Players will not be able to create mixed-gender teams or play women's teams against men's teams, but they will have the chance to use women's teams in Match Day (offline friendlies), online friendlies and an offline tournament modeled after the FIFA Women's World Cup.(wikipedia.com)
