Players can complete a new Marquee Matchups squad-building challenge (SBC) themed around the FIFA World Cup in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team starting today.
Marquee Matchups SBCs are released every Thursday based on real soccer’s key games and create SBCs to reward players with tradeable FUT packs. EA picked all of the FIFA World Cup quarterfinal matches happening this Friday and Saturday.
The conditions for this type of SBC go beyond the squad rating, chemistry minimum, and a player from a specific club. Marquee Matchups are a bit more difficult, asking for silver cards, rare cards, several players from the same club, or a limited number of leagues.
The Morocco vs. Portugal squad, for example, asks for a 74-rated squad with a minimum of 22 chemistry points in total, a maximum of five players from the same club, at least five rare cards, three leagues, and one player from Marroco and Portugal. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a premium mixed players pack.
Each solution offers a different reward that can range from a small prime mixed players pack to a prime electrum players pack. You’ll have until next Thursday, Dec. 15, to complete four squads: Croatia vs. Brazil, Netherlands vs. Argentina, Morocco vs. Portugal, and England vs. France.
Here are all of this week’s conditions, and the rewards for each solution, to complete this FIFA World Cup Marquee Matchups SBC:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Croatia vs. Brazil | 70-rated team with a total of 14 chemistry points minimum, at least three players from the same league, five different clubs, and one player from both Croatia and Brazil. | Premium gold pack |
