Patch summary
| Feature | Details |

Legends Pack contents
The Legends Pack is a premium purchase featuring iconic footballers:
- 99 Pelé (1970 Brazil)
- 99 Maradona (1986 Argentina)
- Additional legend cards from historic World Cup eras
These cards tie into the Premium Captain system added later - completing full 1970 Brazil or 1986 Argentina squads unlocks their captains through the Premium Captains guide.
The 2002 World Cup Teams game pass bundles six teams including Pelé’s 1970 Brazil and Maradona’s 1986 Argentina for players who prefer game pass purchases over the Legends Pack.
Card flex display
The Legends update introduced best card flex above your head in the lobby. The Prime / Captains update expanded this into a full display card selector - pick any favorite card from your collection to show off.
How to set it: controls and interface guide.
Lobby plaza
The plaza added a social hub where players gather between rolling sessions. Combined with the card flex feature and the later Top 3 podium from the Cup Tournament update, the lobby became a showcase for the best squads on each server.
See the global leaderboard guide for how the podium works.

At launch, the game description previewed:
- In-game currency
- Daily quests
- Rewards/sets to complete
- Special edition captain cards for 2026 teams
