EA predicts that the winner of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be Argentina

Furthermore, EA has predicted that Argentinian talisman Lionel Messi will claim the Golden Boot for his eight goals across seven games played and also receive the Golden Ball award for his impressive performances throughout the competition. The Golden Glove award will see a four-way tie between Croatia's Dominik Livakovic, Brazil's Alisson, Portugal's Rui Patricio, and Argentina's Emiliano Martinez, with the latter winning the award for progressing the furthest in the competition.

English fans who intend on travelling to Qatar with high hopes of seeing their national team win the trophy for the first time since 1966 will be disappointed to learn that EA predicts England will be eliminated by the Netherlands in the Round of 16 with a 3-1 loss. Similarly, the United States will see its run in the tournament come to an end at the hands of a 1-0 loss to France in the quarter-finals.

On May 10, 2022, Electronic Arts announced its 30-year partnership with FIFA would finally end on July 12, 2023, with FIFA 23 being the last game in the FIFA series. As such, this marks the final World Cup prediction made by EA in the three-decade FIFA series.
