2015 World Cup champion Alex Morgan will join Leo Messi on the regional U.S. cover of FIFA 16!
Which is a huge deal because she's the FIRST woman to ever appear on the cover.
And she is the first World Cup champ to appear on the cover since 2009. (Unless you count Messi's U-20 World Cup trophy.)
But it's also pretty cool because Alex Morgan just happens to be a HUGE fan of Leo Messi's team, FC Barcelona.
@lilsparks267 that's not Spain,that's my club team, @FCBarcelona, and I tweet about my MLS team @SoundersFC all the time. #getyourfactsright
She's a Culé through and through.
Bout to power through this gym sesh so I can get home for #ChampionsLeague #BarcaBayern match! Let's gooooo @FCBarcelona
Culé is the nickname for FC Barcelona fans, FYI.
She even visited the famous Camp Nou in Barcelona and gushed about her love for Leo Messi.

Her love for her co–cover star is undeniable.
Messi is out of this world. Scoring 86 goals this year... In 2012. What an incredible accomplishment.
and Messi shows up huge again, after having a "quiet game" for 70 minutes. #UCL2013 #ChampionsLeague
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. That Messi goal. Holy crap. I can't even.
messi=wow
And as if winning the World Cup wasn't cool enough, she gets to share a cover with her favorite player ever!
How awesome is that?
