The Road to the World Cup squad has been released in FIFA 23, with the best players from the World Cup qualifiers included in the promo.
Continuing with the World Cup-themed content, EA Sports has released a new FIFA 23 Ultimate Team promo called Road to the World Cup (RTTWC), celebrating the best players from the qualifying stages of the competition. Lots of big names feature in the squad, with Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe among those included.
Interestingly, Arsenal's Ben White is included in the squad despite not featuring once for England in their World Cup qualifying campaign. Uruguay's Luis Suarez is included in the promo too despite currently playing for Uruguayan Primera División club Nacional, who are not on FIFA 23, with EA making both the striker's nation and club Uruguay.
The Road to the World Cup promo squad was released in Ultimate Team on Friday, November 25 at 2pm GMT, much earlier than many expected. Here's the full RTTWC squad below.
