Maradona ICON cards removed from FIFA 22 EA SportsEA Sports has completely removed all of Argentine legend Maradona\u2019s ICON items from FIFA 22 due to a legal dispute. Diego Maradona is right up there with Pele, Zidane, and Ronaldo, and as such has some of the best ICON cards in FIFA 22. He remains one of the most sought-after players in the entire game, striking fear into anyone who comes up against him. Unfortunately, FUT fans will no longer be able to add The Golden Boy to their squads, as EA has removed every Maradona item from the game as of March 19. EA removes Maradona from FIFA 22 The news first broke by FutSheriff on Twitter, and EA have now confirmed they have suspended Maradona\u2019s items from FIFA 22 due to a \u201cthird party legal dispute,\u201d presumably with the late footballer\u2019s estate. \ud83d\udea8EXCLUSIVE Diego Maradona will be SUSPENDED from Fifa 22 due to a third party legal dispute. His cards won\u2019t be available in Packs, SBCs or Drafts anymore. \u2014 Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) March 19, 2022 Via an in-game message in FIFA 22, EA said: \u201cDue to a third party legal dispute, we must suspend Diego Maradona from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team Packs, future FUT content and the Soccer Aid World XI in EA SPORTS FIFA 22.\u201d \u201cAs such, Diego Maradona ICON Items will no longer be made available in Packs, SBCs and FUT Draft,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cWe share our fans\u2019 disappointment and hope to bring one of football\u2019s greatest icons back in the game at some point in the future.\u201d Players who already own one of Maradona\u2019s ICON cards will still be able to deploy him in matches, and he will still be available on the FUT market. However, his price has been fixed to prevent traders from profiting from the situation. It\u2019s not known whether this will be permanent or temporary, but it\u2019s a very good bet the items will be unavailable while the legal dispute is ongoing. Will Maradona be in FIFA 23? At this point, it\u2019s impossible to say whether or not Maradona will be included in FIFA 23\u2019s ICON list. If the legal dispute is resolved before the game comes out, it could happen. But if things drag on, he could be absent from the next title in the series. We have several months before FIFA 23 becomes the main focus for the community, so we\u2019ll know soon if EA is able to resolve this dispute before then and include El Pelusa for players next time around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
