One of the greatest is finally back

EA Sports has officially announced that the football legend and one of the best to grace Football, Diego Maradona will make his return to EA FC 25 Ultimate Team mode.

EA FC 25 Diego Maradona’s official release date

Maradona will make his much-anticipated return to EA FC 25’s Ultimate Team on Friday, February 14. EA has only revealed the release date and an iconic photograph of Maradona in his Argentina number 10 shirt, which has sparked a fan frenzy.

Maradona, along with giants like Pelé, has long been one of the most sought-after players in the FIFA and now EA FC series, with his 97-rated Prime Icon card a fan favorite.

Following a legal battle between his former manager Stefano Ceci and lawyer Matias Morla, which resulted in his absence from following games, EA has now cleared the way for his return.

There is no doubt that Diego Maradona will be the most coveted promo in the upcoming weeks. It might also be very pricey, so if you have any plans related to this, you must start saving your coins now.
