What is Zlatan FC?
Zlatan FC is a fully playable team available in Kick Off mode for EA Sports FC 26. The roster? Just one man: Zlatan. Whether you need a striker, a goalkeeper, or a midfield general, it’s Zlatan all the way.
This new feature is a playful nod to one of the Swedish legend’s most famous quotes:
I can play in the 11 positions because a good player can play anywhere on the pitch.
Now, that confidence has been brought to life in digital form. Players will get to see Zlatan making last-ditch tackles, pulling off spectacular saves, marshaling the midfield, and—of course—scoring goals.
A Club with Zlatan’s Touch
Naturally, Zlatan FC isn’t just about the man himself—it’s also got a bespoke kit and logo, both designed with his input. The logo is a bold, striking “Z”, symbolizing Zlatan’s career path and his larger-than-life persona.
And in typical Zlatan fashion, even the press release had to be all about him:
Zlatan is pleased to finally be able to express himself in all areas of the pitch,” said Zlatan FC Manager, Goalkeeper, Striker, Defender, and Midfielder Zlatan Ibrahimović. “Fans will no longer have to decide who to play in what position, because they will have the best player available – me.
