Ronaldo takes over from Marco Reus, who was voted the cover star for FIFA 17 last year.
Aaron McHardy, Senior Producer for the company said: “The world’s best player has helped fuel the biggest leap forward on the pitch that we’ve ever delivered.
“We are extremely excited to partner with Cristiano – working with him we learned a lot about his unique play style and what makes him so special. His passion, energy and global fanbase make him the perfect ambassador for FIFA 18.”

It’s a real pleasure to be on the cover of FIFA 18,” said Ronaldo, per a press release. “It’s a great feeling and I am grateful to have been chosen.”
