EA Sports has announced that gamers will be receiving a free EA FC 25 Zinedine Zidane TOTY Era Icon in Ultimate Team for playing the game before February 14, 2025. This item is being released to celebrate the Frenchman's game-winning volley in the 2002 Champions League Final, which helped Real Madrid secure the title in his debut season.

While the free EA FC 25 Zinedine Zidane TOTY Era Icon starts off as only a 90-rated item, gamers will eventually be able to evolve him to become 94-rated with two PlayStyle+ traits.
