FIFA 23 World Cup Icons release date
FIFA 23 World Cup Icons made their way to Ultimate Team on Friday, November 25. World Cup Icons were the first instance of Campaign Icons we’ve seen in FIFA 23, and they arrived as a bonus promo during the World Cup event.
Team 1 arrived on November 25, Team 2 hit Ultimate Team one week later on Friday, December 2, and finally, Team 3 arrived on December 9.
What are FIFA 23 World Cup Icons & how to get them
Since World Cup Icons will be available in packs throughout the FIFA 23 promo, they will replace their Base and Mid versions.
The concept will be similar to the World Cup FUT Heroes promo that was previously active alongside Path to Glory in Ultimate Team.
While most will be available in packs and on the Transfer Market, some World Cup Icons will only be available via SBCs and Objectives. There’s no doubt that the SBCs will be incredibly expensive while the Objectives should be difficult to complete, given the stature of the cards.
Until January 4, players will also have the chance to redeem World Cup Icons through the Swaps program. Football legends Patrick Vieira and Cafu are up for grabs for 40 and 30 World Cup Swap Tokens respectively.
All FIFA 23 World Cup Icons & ratings
Every FIFA 23 World Cup Icon will boast an overall rating that is in between their Mid and Prime versions. Essentially, World Cup Icons are the second highest-rated Icon cards you can earn after Prime Icons.
For example, Prime Vieira has a rating of 91 and Base Vieira has a rating of 88, which explains his World Cup Icon rating of 90.
While Prime Icons will boast a higher overall rating, World Cup Icons may have higher individual attributes or a unique boost in Weak Foot or Skill Moves rating.
