Diego Maradona Set to Return in EA FC 25 After Three Years Out of the Game

Diego Maradona, the late Argentina legend, could be making a triumphant return to EA FC 25 after being absent from the game for three years. Maradona, who had been featured as an Icon in the game every year since 2018, was removed from FIFA 23 due to a third-party legal dispute.

The dispute arose from an issue with image rights after EA Sports signed an agreement with Maradona’s former manager, Stefano Ceci. However, after Maradona’s passing in 2020, his lawyer, Matias Morla, claimed that the football icon had granted the image rights to him. This legal battle ultimately led to EA having to remove Maradona from the game.

Now, with the legal dispute resolved, Maradona’s family has the authority to decide whether he will be included in EA FC 25. Rumors are swirling that Maradona will make a comeback as an Icon card in the upcoming edition of the game, with leaks suggesting his return is imminent.

If Maradona does indeed return in EA FC 25, gamers will undoubtedly be thrilled to have one of football’s greatest icons back in their Ultimate Teams. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of gaming.
