FIFA 23 fans have spotted new information on EA Sports’ official website which hints at a Marvel crossover with FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT).
People started to notice an image with the Marvel logo which links to EA’s official website.

The link goes to a page with new details of FIFA 23’s Ultimate Team, including three new players.
The website calls the players FUT Heroes, which will be part of the roster on Ultimate Team.
While Marvel is not mentioned beyond the promotional image, the word ‘Heroes’ is featured on both.
FUT Heroes were featured in the last FIFA release but there was no link to Marvel superheroes at that time.
The site does explain a new function to FUT Heroes, as they will have two versions based on the latest World Cup collaboration.
Each player’s base version will feature a memorable moment from their club careers, and the World Cup version celebrates an achievement at the international level.
The base versions are available from the start but the World Cup FUT Heroes will join the game after release beginning on November 11.
EA Sports has announced three new players which will join the FUT Heroes.

The first is Yaya Touré for his achievements with Manchester City.
Park Ji-Sung has become a FUT Hero for his assist 36 seconds into the title deciding match against Chelsea.
Finally, Ricardo Carvalho will join the Ultimate Team since he helped his team Porto defeat Monaco 3-0 in the Champions League.
Their World Cup achievements have yet to be released. However, EA promises to reveal new additions to the FUT Heroes throughout the summer.
Despite FIFA 23 putting more of a focus on women’s football, it seems the Ultimate Team will remain men-only.
FIFA 23 will feature the Women’s World Cup for the first time, the top UK and French league clubs, and Chelsea’s Sam Kerr on the cover.
The link between Marvel and FUT Heroes remains unclear, though with the image linked to the website it seems likely to be an official crossover.
For FIFA 22, EA Sports released a promotional image of the FUT Heroes in generic superhero costumes.
This year we might see the football stars in official Marvel hero attire.
