Six initial FC 24 Euro 2024 Ultimate Team cards were released before Christmas, but the super-special items dropped to coincide with the new mode's release date. They both form part of FC 24 Festival Of Football. Greats Of The Game cards see FC 24 Base Icons score upgrades based on their countries' goalscoring feats, while FC 24 Path To Glory features contemporary players, who earn boosts depending on how far their nation progresses.

On December 18, EA granted every FC 24 player their first Euro 2024 item, as an initial tease for the big tournament. If you signed in over Christmas, you therefore received one of these six cards. However, they were all untradeable, so for now there’s no way to purchase them off the transfer market.

  • Virgil van Dijk (CB, Liverpool & Netherlands) - 89
  • Ousmane Dembele (RW, Paris SG & France) - 86
  • Jack Grealish (LW, Manchester City & England) - 86
  • Florian Wirtz (CAM, Leverkusen & Germany) - 86
  • Alvaro Morata (ST, Atletico Madrid & Spain) - 85
  • Federico Chiesa (LM, Juventus & Italy) - 84

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
