We are now mere weeks away from the release of EA Sports FC 26, and earlier this week we received some unusual news about a new team coming to the game. When I first heard this, I thought perhaps we’d see the return of Ted Lasso’s Richmond AFC, who have appeared in EA’s football games previously.

Zlatan FC will be available across Kick Off in FC 26, featuring a bespoke kit and logo inspired by (and requested by) the Swedish sensation himself. Zlatan once famously said he could play all 11 positions, and now he finally gets his chance in FC 26.
