EA dropped its biggest FC 26 update of the year in June — the World’s Game update — and it’s built for exactly the kind of national-pride football South Africans live for.
The headline addition is a 48-team international tournament mode featuring 53 licensed national teams, letting you run a full international campaign inside Ultimate Team and beyond. The accompanying Festival of Football campaign hands every player who logs in between 5 June and 24 July a 93-rated Pelé Icon — no packs, no grind. New Icons including Mario Kempes and Rivellino joined the pool alongside themed content drops.
Title update 1.6.3 landed on 30 June with a round of gameplay refinements — worth reading the patch notes if you’re grinding qualifiers, because small tuning changes have been shifting the meta all season.
Around Cinga brackets, expect international-team showmatches while the festival runs. Bafana at a home LAN? Say less.
