Rumors swirl online that Argentine legend Diego Maradona will be making a comeback to the EA Sports FC 25 roster in the upcoming 'Grassroots Greats' promo. This potential return comes after Maradona's likeness was removed from FIFA 22 in 2022 due to a dispute over image rights. If the leaks are accurate, Maradona will boast a 97-rated card, solidifying his position as the highest-rated Icon and tying him for the highest overall rating in the game.
An EA FC 25 'leak' ahead of the game's next promo has revealed that an icon who was once removed from the game is set to make a return. The next promo is titled 'Grassroots Greats', and will reportedly introduce a number of new Icons to the game. Ahead of the promo, which is likely to be released on either February 14 or February 21, an Icon who used to be in the game during the FIFA series is set to be introduced.
The Argentina legend is said to have a 97-rated card, which would make him the highest-rated Icon - and joint-highest rated of all cards - in the game. Maradona was removed from FIFA 22 in March 2022 following a row over image rights. The legendary midfielder died in November 2020 at the age of 60. EA were forced to take three Maradona cards out of packs, and the following statement appeared when users opened up Ultimate Team: 'Due to a third-party legal dispute, we must suspend Diego Maradona from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team Packs, future FUT content and the Soccer Aid World XI in EA Sports FIFA 22. Diego Maradona (pictured at the 2010 World Cup) died in November 2020 at the age of 60 (Image: Getty)' We have always included Maradona's likeness and image under valid license agreements, first with Mr Maradona himself and later with the company entitled to license Maradona's image rights worldwide.' If the leak is correct, Maradona will have the same base card stats as his most recent card, in FIFA 22. EA are yet to release details surrounding the promo
