EA Sports have today unveiled the official cover art for FIFA 14 - the latest installment for the behemoth football game franchise that's set to launch later this year on next generation consoles, as well as the current platforms. As widely expected, the cover features Barcelona's star striker Lionel Messi, though he isn't likely to remain alone for long, as the publisher has announced that other stars will appear alongside him.

The Facebook post that unveiled the artwork has called for fans to say which other stars should join the Barcelona maverick on the front cover, confirming that he will be sharing his space - presumably with different players in different territories.

We'll see. What do you think of this cover?
