FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: What are World Cup Heroes?


FIFA 23 is just around the corner, with the most recent reveal trailer and pitch notes revealing some brand new details regarding this year's game.

Check below for everything we know regarding World Cup Heroes arriving in FIFA 23.

What are World Cup Heroes?

World Cup Heroes are a brand new card type arriving in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, commemorating some of the names synonymous with football's greatest tournament.

We haven't yet seen any confirmed names for World Cup Heroes, but you can expect to see multiple legends from multiple nations.

World Cup Heroes will work similarly to FUT Heroes, which were introduced in FIFA 22.

Whilst it's unclear how chemistry will work with these new cards, we would guess that continent chemistry could come into it, as we've seen in previous World Cup modes.

World Cup Heroes CONFIRMED

The FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition pre-order perks have officially confirmed that World Cup Heroes will be arriving in this year's game.

With an exclusive FUT World Cup Hero item available to those who pre-order the top-tier version of the game, you can be one of the first to get your hands on the brand new card type.

What are FUT Heroes?

FUT Heroes are similar to Icons, although slightly inferior, as they would not have a green link with all for greater chemistry.

HEROIC MOMENTS - FUT Heroes are on the way!

They are like minor Icons, with decent stats, but a notch below the best cards in the game.

On top of that, FUT Heroes have unique league-specific chemistry tied to their hero moment, which allows a green Club link to any player within the same league, on top of the usual nation link.
