It was expected that ahead of EA FC 26’s launch, Electronic Arts would ramp up the current season with special extras—giving players a chance to unlock bonus content for the upcoming release.
Now it’s been confirmed: if you're dedicated enough to complete the required challenges, you can secure a 99-rated FUTTIES Ronaldinho for FC 26’s Ultimate Team mode. If Ronaldinho is one of your favorite players, here’s what you need to know!
EA has tied this reward to the fan-favorite Griddy promotion, which will become exclusive in the next season. That means it won’t be available in the standard celebrations list—and you won’t be able to purchase it from the store either.
Just like the 99-rated FUTTIES Ronaldinho, you either claim it now through the Griddy promotion, or you’ll miss out entirely.
The Griddy celebration is one of the most popular and iconic promos in the EA Sports FC series, but in FC 26 it will be much harder to access. Only players who act now and complete the challenges in FC 25 will unlock it and gain access to the exclusive Griddy club.
To unlock the Griddy celebration in EA FC 26, you’ll need to complete the Griddy to Glory Daily Completionist Objective Group. It’s not the easiest challenge, but there are still a few days left—and if you complete the Griddy to Glory Daily Play objective five times, you’ll be among the lucky winners.
EA has set two main requirements within these objectives:
The second requirement is clearly more accessible, and with a bit of persistence, anyone can complete it and secure the rewards.
Good news: you don’t need to do anything extra to unlock Ronaldinho’s special Icon card. Just complete the objectives mentioned above, and not only will you earn access to the Griddy event, but you’ll also unlock one of the most legendary players in football history for use in EA FC 26.
But that’s not all! Players who complete the Griddy to Glory challenges will also receive these bonus rewards:
