After the end of the “Out of Position” promotion, EA Sports followed up with the release of the World Cup Warm-Up Series. A small promotion without a special team, but with a few small SBCs. Of course, the warm-up series serves to prepare the FIFA 23 players for the actual World Cup promotion.
The name of the main World Cup promo is not yet known, but EA Sports and some leakers have already published quite a lot of information. Starting today, you can play the new World Cup mode, so the promo won’t presumably take long to come.
FIFA 23 World Cup Promo
According to the available information and leaks, the promotion will be active throughout the duration of the World Cup and will last for several weeks. It seems that FUT 23’s promo will be packed with unique content, as seen in the World Cup mode trailer, with five new card designs added to Ultimate Team. Reliable leaker @Fut_scoreboard used the game files to figure out what these cards mean.
So almost all the World Cup cards design contained in the code are here. We are missing only the showdown. These should be the cards names pic.twitter.com/q6iXlzqZKR

This year’s promo should also get token swap objectives, however, the exact rewards are not yet known. What we do know is that each player will receive a limited number of World Cup players to complete the token swaps objectives for a limited timeframe.
🚨 World Cup Swaps 🔄
– Starts on Nov 11th 🗓
– Free token on day 1 ✅
– Most swaps earned via objectives using World Cup players ⚽️
– Tokens can be spent on World Cup Stars items and packs ⭐️#FIFA23 pic.twitter.com/9Y1xcFPzr8— FIFA 23 News (@FUT23News) November 1, 2022
World Cup Heroes & Icons
As many FIFA 23 fans probably already know, there will be special World Cup Heroes in the game this year, who will receive a large stat boost compared to their normal card.
The World Cup Heroes have been announced for a while, but EA Sports also revealed in its World Cup mode trailer that FUT 23 will be adding special World Cup Icons. It’s not yet known exactly what this means, but we expect that, like the World Cup Heroes, they will also get a decent boost.
🚨Danilo Pereira 🇵🇹 is also listed to be WC Star🔥

Player SBCs
In addition to the World Cup Swaps SBCs for the World Cup, there will of course also be many player SBCs, including a Dynamic Duo SBC for each country that has qualified. For a dynamic duo, you need two players from the same country and Creator FUT Sheriff has already unveiled the first Dynamic Duos:
- Duncan and Gyasi
- Bruun Larsen and Nartey
- Kangin Lee and Dong Jun Lee
🚨Larin and Buchanan🇨🇦 are coming via Dynamic Duo🔥
Stats are prediction 👋
