With the domestic football season now over for most of Europe, EA is set to release some End of an Era (EOAE) items into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
As we enter the summer transfer window, plenty of players will be leaving their current club for new adventures after long spells, whilst some will be hanging up their boots for good and retiring from the game. And, each year, EA tends to celebrate these players with special items in FIFA 23, called EOAE items.
So far in FIFA 23, five players have been awarded EOAE items, including Gareth Bale, Mesut Ozil, Franck Ribery and Gonzalo Higuain. And, according to leaks, it looks like we are set to get a promo dedicated to EOAE cards with plenty of players now eligible to earn one.
Leaks suggest that from Friday, June 9, EA will release a host of EOAE cards in FUT 23, but not in Packs, with the cards released continuing to be in the SBCs section of Ultimate Team. Here's everything we know about the EOAE promo in FUT 23.
