Heading Accuracy in FIFA 22 is a player-attribute that determines the player's ability to either perform a headed pass to a teammate, or convert a headed shot into a goal.

Heading Accuracy, paired with strength, jumping, aggression and the player's height are key attributes that help players emerge as the winner in 1v1 situations in the air.

However, heading accuracy is the deciding ability that helps the player reach the ball faster mid-air and convert it with a higher rate of success.
