As the FIFA 2022 World Cup pushes forwards towards the knockout stages, the folks over at EA have been hard at work updating the World Cup DLC, available for free within FIFA 23. Apart from the usual updates such as faces, squad updates, and so on,there are rumors of a new set of cards set to be available within Ultimate Team (FUT). The grandest of stages, the World Cup attracts more eyes than any other sporting event on the planet. Heroes like Spain’s Andre Iniesta and Germany’s Mario Gotze etched their names into folklore legend with World Cup winning goals while moments like Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” cemented his place amongst footballing royalty. Who will be next to cement their immortality status is still yet to be determined but one thing is for sure, EA will be taking these magical moments and making them into special player cards.
