Legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona is now present in EA Sports FC 25 after the legal issues that occurred internally between EA and Maradona since March 2022 have been resolved. Maradona’s UT card may come with a high Overall!
You can access Diego Maradona in EA Sports FC 25 on February 14, 2025, and the presence of this legendary footballer cannot be accessed in the previous EA Sports FC series or until FIFA 22.
There has been no announcement regarding how to get it, but it is very likely that you will see this Maradona in Ultimate Team with card sales with a very high Overall like other Icon characters. It is very likely above Ronaldo de Lima, which will make this Maradona a must-have for you. Of course Maradona is present in EA Sports FC Mobile, for those who play it on Android and iOS.
To be clear, the problem of Maradona leaving EA Sports FC since 2022 was due to a debate between EA and the owner of Maradona’s license in 2021. The fight in court was because EA signed the wrong license that should have been approved by the license owner, instead it was signed by Stefano Ceci, Maradona’s former manager.
The court also concluded that EA still did not have Maradona’s license, and ended up being cheated by Ceci, so it had to be removed from the game. Maradona’s lawyer, Matias Morla, claims that Maradona himself already had a license from the Diego Armando Maradona franchise to the Sattvica company before he died. However, Sattvica is still suspended from using Maradona’s license due to complaints filed by Maradona’s two children.
The suspension was made by Maradona’s son and Morla to take care of the unfair shares and the owner of Maradona’s license. But strangely, Maradona can still be played in eFootball without this problem.
