After revealing the global cover of FIFA 14 earlier this week, Electronic Arts' Sports division has confirmed that, in Mexico and the U.S., the game's box art will feature not just Lionel Messi but also popular Mexican player Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez.

FIFA 14 is eagerly awaited by millions of football fans from around the world, and EA wants to create new partnerships with prestigious soccer players in order to promote the game.

After signing a deal with FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi a few years ago, the company has confirmed that it's booked Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to be an EA Sports Football Ambassador and to star on the cover of the game in his native Mexico and in the U.S., where two versions will be put on sale, with and without Chicharito.

The young striker is making history for the Mexican national team and has impressed European fans during his seasons with Manchester United.
