FC 26 Icon Card Design Leaked Explained

EA FC introduced the Icon cards first in FIFA 18. Although these cards were available before, they were labelled “legend” cards and were exclusive to Xbox. Icon cards are the cards of those players who had a legendary career and are now retired. These can include famous players like Beckham, Henry, Camille Abily, Kelly Smith, and many more.

These cards have near-perfect stats and can build maximum chemistry with your players. But these are the rarest of rare cards. They can only be obtained through time-limited SBCs and ultimate dedication. They are provided with a new design every year to identify them as a special card. Take a look at the new design below.
