The release of EA Sports FC 26 or the new season of FC Mobile is just around the corner, and there have already been leaks about the new batch of Icons and Heroes who could be making their debut in the game. With EA already announcing the return of Zlatan Ibrahimović as the game’s latest Icon, let’s see which other former legend joins the list.
As we know, Icons are retired professionals and some of the greatest footballers of all time. On the other hand, Heroes introduced in the previous season consisted of retired players who had lit up the streets with their skills but couldn’t get the status of being an Icon.
