The highly anticipated EA Sports FC 26 hasn’t officially unveiled its details yet, but leakers have been spilling plenty about it. While these leaks should be met with a healthy dose of doubt, there’s chatter suggesting that this year’s Icon class could be one of the most illustrious in years, and there might even be some positive news concerning the 2026 World Cup. The buzz lately is centered around who will grace the cover of the Ultimate Edition of the game. Given that last year’s edition showcased David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Gianluigi Buffon, fans are eagerly waiting to see if EA FC 26 has another surprise up its sleeve.
The information about this update supposedly originates from the Twitter account known as Fut Scoreboard. This particular account is recognized by FC fans for its regular updates on modifications in the Ultimate Team code, and for showcasing upcoming packs within the game mode. Over the past few years, it has been involved in some significant leaks, and it’s often linked with more prominent leak sources like Fut Sheriff. While it’s crucial to approach this rumor with a great deal of skepticism, Scoreboard is generally considered reliable.
The scoreboard indicates that the cover star for EA Sports FC 26 is none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. For some time now, there have been whispers that Ibra would be an Icon this year, and it appears this news solidifies his significant involvement in FC 26.
Longtime fans of the Football (soccer) Champion series may recall that, when the series was known as FIFA, Ibra had a high-profile disagreement with the company over licensing rights. This dispute occurred after David Beckham signed a significant contract with the firm, prompting Ibrahimović to express his disapproval on Twitter in 2020, stating he wouldn’t grant permission for them to use his name and likeness. Despite this disagreement, Zlatan was still an active professional player at the time, so the incident didn’t have a lasting impact. However, Ibrahimović did appear as a character in the subsequent Football Champion games.
It was a concern among some fans when Ibrahimovic retired that it might be a while before he returned to FC. However, as it turns out, money can indeed open doors, and it appears EA Sports has met his requirements. Not only have they included him in EA Sports FC 26 as an Icon, but they’ve also placed him on the cover of the Ultimate Edition version.
In a few days, we’re likely to hear the formal announcement about EA Sports FC 26. Historically, the developers have shown us the first glimpse of the game in July and continued with further presentations extending into September. Since we’re almost halfway through this month, it won’t be long before EA Sports FC 26 makes its official appearance. Last year, they unveiled Beckham, Buffon, and Zidane as cover stars during the initial announcement, so we may soon learn if Ibrahimović will join them too. Regardless, it seems like this could shape up to be a promising year for EA FC series.
