With the release of EA FC 26 scheduled for September 2025, the Ultimate Team community is eagerly anticipating the chance to test the new Icons added to the game. This special category brings together legends of world football, with cards that represent different phases of their careers. EA FC 26 surprised fans by including eight new heavyweight names, featuring major stars from both men's and women's football. Next, let’s meet the new Icons that will make history in Ultimate Team. Next, we will get to know the new Icons in EA FC 26.
Zlatan Ibrahimović: The Immortal Legend
Zlatan Ibrahimović debuts as an Icon in EA FC 26, and his presence is already causing a stir. With a career marked by spectacular goals and stints at giants like Milan, PSG, Barcelona, and Manchester United, Zlatan will likely have three versions: Young (Ajax), Intermediate (Milan/PSG), and Final (Milan or LA Galaxy). His card promises high physicality, precise finishing, and charisma both on and off the pitch.
Oliver Kahn: The German Wall
After many requests from the community, Oliver Kahn, one of the greatest goalkeepers in Germany's history, finally arrives in Ultimate Team. A Champions League champion with Bayern and a World Cup finalist in 2002, Kahn will be a formidable addition to the Icons roster, bringing security in goal and leadership — attributes that defined his career.
Sissi: Pride of Brazilian Women's Football
EA FC 26 continues to strengthen the presence of women's football, and the inclusion of Sissi as an Icon is a historic milestone. The Brazilian attacking midfielder was a World Cup runner-up in 1999 and a technical reference for the national team. Her card is expected to feature excellent passing, refined dribbling, and great game vision, making her a key asset for mixed teams in Ultimate Team.
Toni Kroos: Mastery in Midfield
Toni Kroos recently concluded his career with an impressive legacy: World Cup champion, multiple Champions League titles with Real Madrid, and legendary passing accuracy. As an Icon, Kroos will be a strategic piece to control the pace of the game. His final card will likely feature high passing, ball control, and tactical vision.
Andrés Iniesta: Magic in Motion
Iniesta, a symbol of refined technique and game intelligence, is another prestigious name in the new generation of Icons. Known for his decisive performance in the 2010 World Cup final and for glorious years at Barcelona, Iniesta will bring a light playing style, with short dribbles, pinpoint passes, and elevated balance.
Marcelo: Joy and Skill on the Flank
Left-back Marcelo, a multi-champion with Real Madrid, also enters the Hall of Legends in EA FC. An idol for his offensive skill, charisma, and versatility, Marcelo is expected to be one of the most sought-after Icons for those looking for creativity in defence and explosive attacks down the left flank.
Giorgio Chiellini: The Wall of Italy
Chiellini will represent defensive class in the group of new Icons. With years of leadership at Juventus and the Italian national team, the defender is synonymous with strength, positioning, and grit. Ideal for solid defensive formations, Chiellini will be essential in shutting down the best attackers in the game.
Francesco Totti: The King of Rome
Francesco Totti is synonymous with loyalty and genius. An eternal icon of Roma, Totti finally arrives as an Icon in EA FC 26. A technical player with excellent long-range finishing and sharp game vision, his card will be perfect for classic number 10s, creating plays and deciding matches with brilliant touches.
Final Considerations
With this selection of new Icons, EA FC 26 delivers one of the most diverse and exciting lists to date. Mixing different positions, playing styles, and even genders, Ultimate Team expands the possibilities for building legendary squads even further. The expectation now is to see how these stars will perform on the virtual pitch — and which combinations will yield the most unbeatable squads of the season.
