EA Sports, with a press release, has released the Official Details of the Path To Glory cards of the World Cup that are now available in the packs of the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
It’s time for national team dreams to become reality. The FIFA World Cup 2022 is here, with 32 Path to Glory player items that level up with each step that their country takes towards the trophy. The further they go in realizing their ambitions on the pitch at the FIFA World Cup, the better they’ll become in your Ultimate Team squad.
How it Works?
Each Path to Glory player item one from each of the 32 nations competing at this year’s FIFA World Cup will be eligible for upgrades based on their country’s real-world performance. Each player item starts the campaign with a base upgrade and can receive additional boosts if their team progresses to each successive stage. Progression to the Round of 16 and Quarter Finals will each earn a +1 In-Form Upgrade. Progression to the Semi-Finals will earn player items 5* Weak Foot. Progression to the Finals will earn player items 5* Skill Moves. Winning the FIFA World Cup™ will earn players another +1 In-Form Upgrade, along with three select traits tailored to that player’s position. Once a player’s nation is eliminated, they will not earn any more upgrades.
