FC 24 Golazo is the latest new campaign in a totally reimagined Ultimate Team season. This particular EA Sports FC 24 promo focusses entirely on Icons and Heroes, with no place for contemporary players. Yesteryear stars given hot new cards include Johan Cruyff and Cafu, while there’s also a special set of FC 24 Golazo Robin van Persie objectives. Wanna know exactly how it all works, and how to unlock RVP? Then keep on reading GR’s FC 24 Golazo guide.

What is FC 24 Golazo?

It was indeed a Good Friday for Ultimate Team addicts, as FC 24 Golazo replaced the wildly popular FC 24 FUT Birthday campaign. There are no modern-day players in this one. Instead all cards are upgrades for FC 24 Base Icons and FC 24 Heroes. According to EA, the campaign is about “reliving the goals that defined their career and the memorable celebrations that followed”. That means the promo is scarce on keepers and defenders, but there are still numerous eye-catching cards.

FC 24 Golazo Team 1 landed on Friday, March 29 with Johan Cruyff (CF, Netherlands) as its top-rated Icon. The Dutch delight scores an OVR of 97, well ahead of Bobby Charlton (CAM, England), Cafu (RB, Brazil), and Birgit Prinz (ST, Germany), who all boast 94.

At the pinnacle of the FC 24 Golazo Heroes list is Dimitar Berbatov (ST, Premier League), with a score of 94. SBC reward Saeed Al Owairan (RW, ROSHN Saudi League) feels similarly formidable with 93, as does Spurs and Newcastle favourite David Ginola on 92. All items are included on the full FC 24 Golazo cards list below.

There certainly are. Log in during the campaign and you receive an 85+ OVR Single Pack, which does what it says on the tin – granting you one player rated 85 or higher. I got Son Heung-Min, so the pack is absolutely worth jumping onto the game for!

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+.
