Big news for EA Sports FC 26 fans! A recent leak has revealed a whole new group of ICONS will arrive in the game. This update exceeds the usual handful of additions and might disrupt your Ultimate Team lineups.
To put it in perspective, FC 24 introduced eight new ICONS, and EA FC 25 did the same at launch with names like Gianluigi Buffon and Gareth Bale. Plus, they added Diego Maradona and Franz Beckenbauer later, pushing the total to 10 new legends. This time, EA seems to have outdone itself.
All Leaked FC 26 ICONS
FUT Sheriff, a dependable source for FC leaks, dropped the list of new ICONS arriving in FC 26. The list includes 12 legendary players, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the pack alongside others from various nations and positions.
| Name | Nation | Expected Position |
| Zlatan Ibrahimovic | Sweden | ST |
| Andres Iniesta | Spain | CM |
| Toni Kroos | Germany | CM |
| Marcelo | Brazil | LB |
| Giorgio Chiellini | Italy | CB |
| Alex Morgan | USA | ST |
| Francesco Totti | Italy | ST |
| Oliver Kahn | Germany | GK |
| Sara Thunebro | Sweden | LB |
| Cha Bum-kun | South Korea | ST |
| Steffi Jones | Germany | CB |
| Sissi | Brazil | CAM |
Now, here’s something kind of wild: Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s name showing up is unexpected because he was pretty vocal back in 2021 about EA using his likeness without his permission. EA responded strongly in a Forbes interview, so if he’s in, does that mean they finally settled things? Interesting, right?
Other additions like Alex Morgan, Andres Iniesta, Toni Kroos, and Giorgio Chiellini retired recently, so they fit perfectly as new ICONS. Oliver Kahn is often hailed as one of the best keepers ever, and Francesco Totti was a goal-scoring machine in Italy – a solid choice for fans to look forward to.
