From Malmö Dream to Digital Glory
The Ultimate Edition cover features a powerful recreation of an iconic photo from Zlatan's early days at Malmö FF. Talk about a throwback! It's a deep dive into the career of a player who's dominated Europe's biggest clubs. Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala will be the Standard Edition athletes for FC 26 and FC Mobile.
Zlatan's Reflections: A Trip Down Memory Lane
Stepping onto the set for the cover shoot was a profound experience for Zlatan. "It brings back memories," he said. "This was a long time ago. It makes me feel young. It makes me feel like that little boy that had this big dream to become a professional football player." He also credited Ronaldo (R9) as a major influence, trying to emulate his moves on the field.
The set was filled with nods to his career highlights, including posters of Ronaldo. Zlatan joked about now knowing Ronaldo personally, a far cry from just seeing his posters in books. He emphasizes authenticity as his legacy, stating, "From day one, I have always been myself. I didn’t try to change for nobody."
