FC 25 Will Deliver the Most Authentic EA SPORTS Football Experience!

These partnerships bring an unmatched level of authenticity to life in EA SPORTS FC 25 with a roster made up of players from the world's biggest clubs and leagues. In addition, the new formats of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League are all specially featured in FC 25's Career and Tournament modes to give players a new gameplay experience.

Other leagues featured in the game include the Premier League, LALIGA EA SPORTS, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 McDonald's, Serie A Enilive, CONMEBOL Libertadores, the Barclays Women's Super League, the National Women's Soccer League, and more.

EA SPORTS FC 25's news about its featured leagues arrived alongside confirmation that more than 120 authentic real-world football stadiums will be featured in the new game. This year's iconic real-world additions include River Plate's Más Monumental, Feyenoord Rotterdam's De Kuip, Sporting CP's Estádio José Alvalade, Galatasaray S.K.'s Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex Rams Park, and Fenerbahçe's Ülker Stadium, Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Sports Complex. The legendary French stadium Stade Bollaert-Delelis will also bring its unique atmosphere to FC 25 for the first time in Kick-Off and Career modes, as well as Ultimate Team.

Other stadiums, including Real Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and Villarreal CF's Estadio de la Cerámica, will also see meaningful updates in the game following the completion of their real-world renovations. As the official partner of the Olympique de Marseille (OM) men's team, EA SPORTS FC aims to deliver a realistic matchday experience by bringing the improvements made to the Orange Vélodrome stadium into the game.

EA SPORTS FC Senior Marketing Director James Salmon said, "We continue to create the closest-to-reality football experience with EA SPORTS FC 25." "In addition to new and improved stadiums, we anticipate that new and ongoing partnerships with beloved clubs will let players fully immerse themselves in the game they love."

Alongside renewing many partnerships, EA SPORTS FC is also expanding its existing partnerships, including with Ligue 1 McDonald's, and announcing a number of in-game additions and partnership renewals that will enhance the in-game experience of French clubs for fans: from the newly added stadiums (Stade Bollaert-Delelis and Orange Vélodrome Stadium) to the renewal of the long-standing partnership with Olympique de Marseille (OM) through a multi-year deal... The partnership aims to support the OM Next Gen & FC FUTURES program, a plan to meaningfully invest in football at the community level through EA SPORTS FC's product innovation, community investment, and joint initiatives across the foundations of football. More details will be announced later this year.

EA SPORTS FC's partnership with AS Roma will bring both the men's and women's teams into the game. FC 25 shows that women's clubs will feature in Career mode for the first time, and that the top five women's leagues (the Barclays Women's Super League, Arkema Première Ligue, the National Women's Soccer League, the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga, Liga F, and the prestigious UEFA Women's Champions League competition) will be in the game. These partnerships come together to establish FC 25 as a game that achieves parity with men's football across all game modes, further contributing to EA SPORTS FC's commitment to growing the women's game.

EA SPORTS FC 25 won't just feature the newest players and matchups — it will also bring 21 historic men's and women's football stars into the game as Heroes and ICONs. Eden Hazard, Maicon, Tim Howard, and Laura Georges are among 13 new footballers joining the newest Heroes in Ultimate Team, while the 8 new ICONs added to FC 25 include recently retired Welsh superstar Gareth Bale, famed Japanese midfielder Aya Miyama, and one of the world's most famous goalkeepers, Gianluigi Buffon. The full list of ICONs is as follows:

• Gareth Bale

• Lotta Schelin

• Lilian Thuram

• Gianluigi Buffon

• Nadine Angerer

• Marinette Pichon

• Julie Foudy

• Aya Miyama

Backed by more than 300 global football partners, FC 25 will host more than 19,000 athletes across more than 700 clubs and 30 leagues in more than 120 real-world stadiums. This core authenticity is also reflected in FC 25 through the introduction of FC IQ, a redesigned tactical engine that redefines how teams play by delivering more strategic control, recognition of individual Player Roles, more accurate player movement traits defined by HyperMotionV*, and smarter teammates.
