EA SPORTS FC™ celebrates the Class of ’27, honouring a new generation of ICONs and the defining moments that made them
EA SPORTS FC™ proudly welcomes the Class of ’27 ICONs to EA SPORTS FC™ 27 and the lineup of men’s ICONs to EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile, celebrating football legends through the defining moments that transformed remarkable careers into iconic legacies. Spanning generations, this new class honours players whose unforgettable performances and achievements captivated fans and earned their place among football’s immortals.
Among the new Class of ’27 are Sergio Agüero, Christine Sinclair and Pepe, each taking their place among football’s ICONs in EA SPORTS FC. They are joined by Lúcio and Yaya Touré, whose celebrated careers are now recognised with ICON status following their time as Heroes.
“To be named an EA SPORTS FC ICON means a great deal to me,” said Pepe. “I always played with intensity, passion, and complete commitment every time I stepped onto the pitch. Looking back on that journey, it’s a proud moment to see my career become part of FC’s ICON legacy.”
“To be the first Canadian named an EA SPORTS FC ICON is an incredible honour,” said Christine Sinclair. “Winning Canada’s first major international title was something we had worked toward for so long, and seeing what it meant for women’s soccer back home made us incredibly proud. To have that moment become part of my ICON story, and hopefully inspire the next generation, means a lot.”
