What does this mean for FIFA 22 Ultimate Team?

Serie A players from all 20 clubs continue to be included in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.

For the first time in FUT 22, we’re excited to recognise the winner of the Serie A Player of the Month award with a special boosted FIFA Ultimate Team player item to reflect their performances that month.

Why aren’t the remaining four clubs authentically represented?

EA SPORTS and Lega Serie A are entering into a multi-year agreement which allows for Serie A clubs to be authentically represented in-game, providing that the rights of those clubs are available and not currently contractually held exclusively by another party. EA SPORTS is respectful of pre-existing relationships that certain clubs have with third parties, but is equally committed to further growing its presence in Italian football both now and in the future.
