A new FIFA World Cup Marquee Matchups squad-building challenge (SBC) is live in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team to remember some World Cup games from the past.
EA selects some upcoming matches as the theme for this type of SBC, added every Thursday, to reward players with tradeable FUT packs. But this week, the segments are based on some games from the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The usual player item SBC only asks for a couple of conditions, but Marque Matchups are a bit more difficult than just a certain rating and a chemistry minimum. They also ask for silver cards, rare cards, or several players from the same club.
The Sweden vs. Switzerland squad, for example, asks for a 70-rated team with a total of 14 chemistry points minimum, a maximum of five leagues, at least two players from the same club, and one player from both Sweden and Switzerland. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a gold 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. 29, to complete four squads: Sweden vs. Switzerland, Senegal vs. Colombia, Croatia vs. England, and Portugal vs. Spain.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden vs. Switzerland | 70-rated team with a total of 14 chemistry points minimum, a maximum of five leagues, at least two players from the same club, and one player from both Sweden and Switzerland. | Gold pack |

| Portugal vs. Spain | 76-rated squad with 26 chemistry minimum, at least two rare cards, three players from the same nation, three players from the same club, and one player from both Portugal and Spain. | Prime electrum players pack |
The total to build all these squads from scratch is priced at around 15,050 FUT coins on consoles and can get to 16,550 FUT coins on PC. Those who complete all four squads will also receive a premium gold players pack.
