FC 26 has launched a 1 of 4 93+ Festival of Football Player Pick Squad Building Challenge, offering Ultimate Team players one choice from four high-rated promotional cards. It matters because the pool includes Festival of Football items no longer available in packs, giving players another route to obtain elite cards by submitting in-game resources.

Eligible rewards are rated 93 or above and come from Path to Glory, Festival of Football: Star Performer, Glory Hunters, Phenoms and Summer Stars promotions. The possible selections range from 93-rated players to 98-rated stars including Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior, Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah and Lamine Yamal.
