EA FC 24 Paolo Maldini

The Paolo Maldini Base Icon Squad Building Challenge (SBC) in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team is now available. It’s a fantastic opportunity for fans to add the most celebrated defender in history. Here’s all you need to know about this iconic card, including how to obtain it through SBC.

Icons is an Ultimate Team promo that features the legends of the sport. It has been a part of the Ultimate Team mode since the series was known as FIFA. Paolo Maldini, an AC Milan and Italian great, is one of the Icons available in this soccer video game by Electronic Arts.

About the Paolo Maldini Base Icon card

Unlike FIFA’s Ultimate Team, EA FC 24 did not issue an Icon in three versions. Since the game’s initial release, each Icon had only one base edition available. Maldini has a 92-rated Base Icon card that is a fan favorite because of his defensive statistics. Later, EA Sports releases two special editions, a 93 and a 90-rated Dynasties Icon.
