EA SPORTS FC Mobile recently hosted a live stream to give players a detailed preview of the upcoming Ballon d'Or event, set to launch this Thursday UTC. The stream provided insights into event mechanics, new packs, exclusive exchanges, and upcoming gameplay improvements.

Ballon d'Or Event Overview

The Ballon d'Or event is a side event, mostly store pack-based, but it still features some of the highest-value cards in the game.

High OVR Cards: The event packs include Ballon d'Or winners, runners-up, nominees, and even past Ballon d'Or ICONs. The highest OVR available is 113, which matches the current in-game cap from the Anniversary event.

Card Art & Walkouts: Cards feature updated Ballon d'Or artwork, with walkout animations similar to last year but with improved visual presentation to highlight top players.

Exclusive Exchanges: The event also introduces dedicated Ballon d'Or exchanges in the exchange tab with Nedved and Baggio player cards and 113 and 112 OVR exchanges, giving users a specific card and OVR pack-based exchange.

New Challenge Mode: Nike Phantom CupIMG_20251001_090719.jpgIMG_20251001_090645.jpg

A brand-new Nike Phantom Cup challenge will be added to Challenge Mode.

Players can complete this challenge to earn gems, kits, and boots, adding an additional layer of rewards outside standard gameplay modes.

Strategic Considerations for Users

High OVR Cards: With the 113 OVR cap, players can obtain some of the strongest cards in the game, enhancing their competitive edge in Head-to-Head, VS Attack, and Manager Mode.

Exchanges: The exclusive Ballon d'Or exchanges allow users to specifically target desired cards, reducing reliance on luck from packs.

Pack Planning: Users should monitor the variety of packs and consider which ones align with their goals - whether it’s collecting high OVR cards, ICONs, or past winners.

Event Timing: Since the event goes live Thursday UTC, early preparation for tokens, gems, and usage can maximize rewards.

Final Thoughts

The Ballon d'Or event offers a mix of high-value rewards, exclusive exchanges, and visually enhanced cards, making it one of the most appealing mid-season events for FC Mobile users. Alongside the FC Mobile 26 update and Anniversary 2nd Week 2, this event adds multiple layers of content for users to engage with.

Whether you’re chasing top-tier cards, completing exchanges, or collecting shards, planning ahead will be key to making the most of this limited-time event.
