The Return of Allianz Arena
For the first time since FIFA 19, the Allianz Arena is making its long-awaited return to the series.
As the second-largest stadium in Germany, with a capacity of 75,024, it’s a fan-favorite venue that has been sorely missed by Career Mode and Ultimate Team players alike.
Its inclusion brings back the immersive matchday experience unique to Bayern’s home ground.
Not only will the stadium return, but official FC Bayern München stadium tifos are coming back too—another visual detail that hasn’t been seen since FIFA 19.
These custom visuals will amplify the authenticity of your matchday atmosphere.
Vincent Kompany Available as Manager
Another exciting addition: FC Bayern München’s new head coach Vincent Kompany will be available in EA FC 26. You’ll find him in Kick Off mode and as a selectable option in Manager Career Mode.
Whether you’re a fan of his leadership or simply want the most realistic touchline presence, Kompany adds depth to your managerial experience.
New Face Scans for FC Bayern München Players
Realism is getting a major upgrade. Several FC Bayern players are getting brand-new face scans, making them more lifelike than ever in EA FC 26. Here are some of the standout names:
Aleksandar Pavlović (CM/CDM) — With a 78 overall rating and an impressive 87 potential, Pavlović is one of the most promising midfielders in Career Mode. Now with a real face scan, he’ll look as good as he plays.
Jonas Urbig (GK) — Rated 74 overall with a potential of 84, Urbig is a great option for a future No. 1. His updated appearance adds another layer of immersion for Career Mode players.
Tarek Buchmann (CB) — At just 60 overall but with a 77 potential, Buchmann is a sleeper pick for managers who love to develop young talent from scratch. A new face scan makes his growth journey more engaging.
Jonah Kusi-Asare (ST) — With an 83 overall and 60 potential (likely a typo in the ratings), Kusi-Asare remains an exciting name in the squad. His updated appearance in EA FC 26 ensures he stands out visually and on the scoresheet.
Other players in the Bayern squad will also be receiving face scans, adding even more authenticity across the roster.
Final Whistle
For Career Mode purists, this update is a dream come true. The return of Allianz Arena, exclusive club elements, realistic face scans, and Kompany on the sidelines elevate the immersion and make FC Bayern München one of the most exciting clubs to manage or face in EA FC 26.
