EA SPORTS FC Celebrates Return of Maradona

Off the back of teasing the return of one of football’s best, players from tomorrow will see the return of Diego Maradona in EA SPORTS FC 25 and Football Ultimate Team as a Grassroots Great and available as a regular ICON. A player who played with the heart of the people, who was able to take their natural born talent to the biggest stages in the world. For EA SPORTS FC Mobile players, Maradona will be available in-game as of 20 February.

From the iconic La Bombonera to Napoli’s now named Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and beyond, Maradona made headlines across The World’s Game with stunning goals, countless trophies and unmatched raw talent. Grassroots Greats are celebrated for their rise from hometown clubs to playing on the biggest stages in the world and no one in history has done that better than Diego Maradona.

For players looking to add this footballing great to their dream squad in EA SPORTS FC 25, they need to login to Football Ultimate Team between 14 February and 14 March. Inspired by Maradona’s rise from Argentinos Juniors at the age of 14 to a global superstar and serial winner with Napoli, players can take their Player Item to new heights as Diego’s Dream Evolution allows you to upgrade Diego Maradona from a 77 OVR to a 89 OVR through three separate Evolution paths.*

For EA SPORTS FC Mobile, Maradona will be available in-game between 20 February and 27 March. To earn Maradona’s item, players will be able to enter Challenge Mode and play through five PvE matches that are inspired by important moments and matches from his career
