Maradona Returns to FC Mobile - The Legend is Back!
EA Sports FC Mobile has officially confirmed that Diego Maradona is making his long-awaited return to the game. Through their social media channels, EA shared a post featuring the Argentine legend, accompanied by the date February 20, strongly hinting at his availability in the game next week.
This news has sparked excitement among fans, as Maradona’s ICON cards were among the most sought-after in previous editions of FC Mobile. However, details regarding how he will be introduced remain undisclosed, leaving room for speculation.

How Will Maradona Be Added to the Game?
Although EA has yet to provide a full breakdown, there are two major possibilities
TOTY Event Addition
Given that FC Mobile is currently running the TOTY (Team of the Year) event, Maradona could be released as part of the ongoing ICON batch. He might receive a high-rated CAM card, which would fit well within the event’s framework.
Special Maradona Event
Alternatively, EA could introduce a season-long event dedicated to Maradona, similar to past ICON campaigns. This event could include:
Multiple versions of Maradona, possibly featuring him in different positions like CAM, LW, or CF.
Special challenges, matches, or objectives centered around his legendary performances.
Exclusive rewards, including player cards, kits, and other in-game items celebrating his legacy.
Whichever route EA chooses, Maradona’s return is expected to bring new opportunities for players to strengthen their squads with one of football’s all-time greats.
Why Was Maradona Removed from FC Mobile?
This isn’t the first time Maradona has been added to the game - nor is it the first time he’s been removed. His ICON cards were last seen in 2022, but a legal dispute over his image rights led to their removal.
The Licensing Dispute
Maradona first appeared in FIFA Mobile back in 2018 but faced legal complications due to disputes over his image rights.
After nearly three years of legal battles, EA has now regained the rights to use his likeness, allowing them to bring him back to FC Mobile.
Now that the licensing issues have been resolved, Maradona is set to return, and fans are thrilled to be able to use him once again.
What to Expect from Maradona’s Cards?
In previous FC Mobile editions, Maradona’s ICON cards were among the most sought-after attacking midfielders in the game.
Final Thoughts - A Historic Comeback
Maradona’s return to FC Mobile is one of the biggest announcements of the year. With his official comeback set for February 20, fans are eager to see how EA will integrate him into the game.
Will he be part of the TOTY event, or will he get his own dedicated event? Will his card be free to earn, or will players need to spend resources to obtain him? These are questions that will be answered in the coming days.
Until then, stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to Maradona’s historic comeback!
