Three New ICONs Teased for CAPTAINS Event in FC Mobile
EA Sports FC Mobile has officially started building hype for the upcoming CAPTAINS Event, set to launch this Thursday. On their social media handles, EA dropped a teaser banner with the caption
“Leadership. Determination. Grit. New ICONs. 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇧🇷
Who is your favourite past or present Captain?”
This short but powerful message has immediately sent the community into speculation mode, as fans begin guessing which legendary captains will make their ICON debut in FC Mobile.
Three New ICONs Incoming
As with recent events, each major release has introduced new ICONs or Heroes, and the CAPTAINS Event is no different. The teaser makes it clear: three brand new ICONs are coming to the game, and all of them are known for their leadership and captaincy roles on the pitch.
Based on the flags 🇮🇹 (Italy), 🇪🇸 (Spain), and 🇧🇷 (Brazil), the community quickly started linking these hints to legendary names
Francesco Totti / Giorgio Chiellini (Italy) – Both iconic leaders for Roma and Juventus respectively, remembered for their loyalty, leadership, and influence.
Andrés Iniesta (Spain) – Barcelona and Spain’s midfield magician, remembered as one of the greatest captains and leaders of his generation.
Dunga (Brazil) – World Cup-winning captain for Brazil, already teased with a lower OVR card in the current Ragnarok event.
The buzz suggests we could be seeing Totti or Chiellini, Iniesta, and Dunga joining the ICON roster, making their long-awaited debut in FC Mobile.
Why the CAPTAINS Event?
The Ragnarok event is coming to a close this Thursday, and CAPTAINS will officially take its place. Thematically, this new event is perfect for introducing players who embodied leadership, grit, and determination both at club and international level.
The teaser not only builds hype for new ICON cards but also continues EA’s recent trend of aligning events with highly requested ICON debuts. Just a few weeks ago, EA shared the teaser for the ICON class of ‘26, confirming many new faces arriving this season. CAPTAINS looks to be the next step in delivering those promised legends.
What’s Next?
While speculation is running high, official confirmation of the new ICONs will come during the CAPTAINS Event livestream scheduled for 19 August, 19:00 UTC. EA Sports FC Mobile will reveal more details about the event structure, rewards, and player lineup both in the stream and on their social channels.
For now, the community is buzzing with excitement about finally seeing some of football’s greatest leaders represented in the game. If the guesses prove true, players like Iniesta, Totti/Chiellini, and Dunga will soon be available with special CAPTAINS-themed ICON cards.
