Electronic Arts just announced that Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham will be the featured cover athlete for EA Sports FC 25. Bellingham was also grace the cover for EA Sports FC Mobile. I take that to mean he will show up on the loading screen when you open the app on your phone.
The Ultimate Edition of EA Sports FC 25 will feature Bellingham alongside "Ballon d'Or Féminin winner Aitana Bonmatí, and football icons David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Gianluigi Buffon, accompanied by 17 of the world's most coveted football trophies — including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women's Champions League, Ballon d'Or, Premier League, LALIGA, Liga F, Serie A, and Ligue 1 amongst many others."
Those playing EA Sports FC Mobile can login between July 18 - August 1 to access a Jude Bellingham 95 rated item.
This season, Bellingham has flourished after his move to Real Madrid, winning the UEFA Champions League, LALIGA EA SPORTS and Supercopa de España with his club, alongside multiple individual accolades, including LALIGA Player of the Season, Laureus Breakthrough of the Year, as well as the Golden Boy and Kopa Trophies for the world's best player under 21. He has sustained that momentum at the international level with game-defining moments that helped England reach the final at UEFA EURO 2024 this summer, truly confirming his star status and earning his place on the cover of EA SPORTS FC 25.
EA Sports also promises the usual improvements to the core game as well.
