EA Sports has rolled out the Euro 2025 Path to Glory promo in FC 25 Ultimate Team, just in time for the kickoff of the Women’s European Championship. This campaign shines a spotlight on Europe’s elite national teams by introducing dynamic, upgradeable cards that reflect real-world performances. While long-time players will recognize the concept, this promo is unique in focusing entirely on the women’s tournament.
Building on the success of the Fantasy FC event earlier in the year, Path to Glory marks the return of live item promos after a quiet period. With Euro 2025 kicking off in Switzerland on July 5, these special items have plenty of opportunities to improve as the competition unfolds. Players looking to invest early can use their FC 25 Coins to grab Path to Glory cards from the market before prices spike.
Here’s a breakdown of how the promo works and what it means for your Ultimate Team.
What Is Path to Glory in FC 25?
Path to Glory is a special promo tied to the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, featuring players whose national teams are competing in the tournament. These are not fixed cards—they're live items that can be upgraded based on how far the player’s nation advances.
EA ran a similar promotion during the Men’s Euro 2024 in FC 24, which was highly praised by the community. This time, the core mechanics are back, including five specific upgrade milestones, giving these cards massive potential to become top-tier assets by the end of the Euros.
Euro 2025 Path to Glory Team
There are 15 players in the main Path to Glory squad, all available in packs until Friday, July 4 at 6pm UK time (1pm ET / 10am PT), just before Shapeshifters Team 4 takes over. If you're trying to snipe these players from the Transfer Market, having a good stash of FIFA 25 Coins on hand is essential.
Additional cards are also available through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), Objectives, and the Season 8 ladder.

How Do Euro 2025 Path to Glory Upgrades Work?
Path to Glory cards in FC 25 are live items, meaning they can receive stat upgrades based on how well the player’s national team performs in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 tournament. As the competition progresses, these special cards have the potential to become significantly more powerful through a series of predefined milestones.
Here’s a breakdown of the upgrade system:
- +1 Upgrade – If the player’s nation wins 1 match during the group stage or knockout round.
- +1 Upgrade – If the team advances to the Round of 8 (Quarterfinals).
- +1 Upgrade – If the team reaches the Semifinals.
- +1 Upgrade – If the nation qualifies for the Final.
- +1 Upgrade + 5 Skill Moves or Weak Foot – If the player’s nation wins the tournament.
Each card can receive up to +4 overall stat upgrades, plus a boost to either 5-star Skill Moves or Weak Foot if their team wins the final. This system rewards players whose national teams go deep into the tournament, making early investment in the right players a potentially smart move.
SBC and Objective Path to Glory Players
In addition to the 15 packable players, EA has released a few additional Path to Glory cards through Objectives and SBCs.
- Sherida Spitse (CDM, Netherlands) is available via Objectives. To unlock her 94-rated card, players must complete four challenges, including winning matches and assisting goals. It’s a straightforward grind that expires on Friday, July 7.
- Melvine Malard (LW, France) is available through a limited-time SBC. Her 96-rated card features excellent stats across the board and can be unlocked by submitting three squads: an 87-rated squad with a French player, an 88-rated squad with a Barclays WSL player, and an 89-rated squad with a TOTW or TOTS card. Total estimated cost: around 94k Ultimate Team Coins.
