Icons are now a huge part of FIFA Ultimate Team, and best believe they'll be making a return in FIFA. Here we have the list of all the new Icons, returning Icons and everything we know so far about Icons in FIFA 23.
Icon cards are some of the most desired items in the game. They’re special rare player cards in FIFA Ultimate Team based on legendary footballers from years gone by and replicate their timelines in the form of four different cards.
EA add a plethora of icon cards to the game each year, with last year seeing the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Iker Casillas all joining the rest of the gang when FIFA 22 was initially released.
EA will be doing the exact same for FIFA 23, introducing a new batch of icons into the game, whilst also removing some due to various reasons - which we'll explain further on in the article.
So with this, here's everything you need to know about new Icons in FIFA 23, non-returning Icons and more.
