This announcement not only celebrates the launch of a new game—it also symbolizes the beginning of a refreshed ICON generation, with Zlatan leading the charge.
EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Edition Cover
The new cover art isn’t your standard action shot. Instead, EA SPORTS FC has chosen a bold, creative direction that matches the larger-than-life personality of Zlatan himself.
In the image, Ibrahimović is lounging comfortably on a bed, fully relaxed, wearing a blue shirt, matching blue shorts, and white socks.
In his hands, he holds a book—on the cover is the image of another football great: Ronaldo, the legendary Brazilian striker wearing the iconic number 9 shirt.
The room around Zlatan tells a story—a visual timeline of his legendary journey:
- On the left side of the image, the Ajax crest hangs proudly, nodding to the club where Zlatan first exploded onto the global football scene.
- Next to it is a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, emblazoned with “Ibrahimovic 10,” recalling his dominance in Ligue 1.
- Three personal portraits of Zlatan hang on the wall, each capturing different iconic moments in his career.
- A bold poster with the slogan “WE WANT ZLATAN!” channels the passion of fans who always hoped to see his return.
- Below that, a large poster of Ronaldo #9 adds a layer of inspiration and respect between generations of footballing greats.
- On the right side, a rack of medals showcases the honors and success Zlatan has accumulated over his storied career.
- Beneath the medals, logos from several of Zlatan’s former clubs—like PSG—are proudly displayed.
- And on a nearby bedside table, a desktop monitor displays a screenshot from EA SPORTS FC 26, teasing fans with a taste of what’s to come.
This cover is more than just artwork—it’s a love letter to football culture, and to the personality and presence that Zlatan brings to the sport.
