To commemorate the remarkable achievements of Rodri and Aitana Bonmatí at the Ballon d’Or, EA FC 25 is hosting an exciting in-game event that allows players to earn free rewards. Following a series of Ultimate Team promotions like RTTK and Trailblazers, EA FC 25 is set to unveil more thrilling content. As anticipation builds for the Centurions event, developers have confirmed a special campaign inspired by this year’s prestigious Ballon d’Or that will run throughout the weekend.
Kickoff Date for the EA FC 25 Ballon d’Or Weekend
The Ballon d’Or Weekend event is anticipated to launch on Friday, November 8, 2024, at 09:00. This timing deviates from EA’s typical schedule. While the event’s conclusion date remains unconfirmed, it is expected to wrap up on Monday, November 11.
How to Participate in the Ballon d’Or Weekend Activities
When you log into EA FC 25 for the first time during the Ballon d’Or Weekend, you will be greeted with two Player Loan options featuring special “Nominated” cards. One option will present a male player nominated for this year’s Ballon d’Or, while the other will feature a female player.
After selecting your player, these loaned athletes will be added to your club for the event’s duration, allowing you to incorporate them into your squad. However, be aware that at the end of the Ballon d’Or Weekend, these loan players will be permanently removed from your lineup.
A set of in-game objectives will be available, encouraging players to utilize these Nominated cards by scoring goals or securing victories. Completing these tasks will reward you with free packs and permanent items for your club.
It’s essential to note that the Ballon d’Or Nominated cards won’t be obtainable through traditional packs; the sole method to acquire them will be via the Player choice loans.
