The concept of Swaps is not new to FUT veterans, but the inclusion of World Cup cards into the mix has changed the entire dynamic of the promo. While tokens are still earned through gameplay objectives, EA Sports has added a World Cup-themed twist to the proceedings. Gamers must complete certain objectives with special World Cup cards that have been released in FUT for a limited time.

World Cup Swaps is an extremely rewarding and engaging event in general, providing gamers with overpowered player items and packs. The promo is a dream come true for those interested in investing time and effort into FUT. It rewards the grind with some of the most coveted items in-game, including World Cup Stars cards, World Cup Heroes, and World Cup Icons.


Fans were not too pleased with the lack of a dedicated mode centered around the biggest football event in the title's Ultimate Team. Fortunately, the developers have done well to incorporate aspects of the tournament into the regular FUT game cycle.

Every participating nation in the FIFA World Cup has received a host of special cards in FIFA 23 that can be obtained through packs. These player items can only be used for gameplay purposes and are time-limited. This means that they will be removed from your club at the end of the promo. While fans are divided in their opinions regarding this aspect, it is an intriguing concept nonetheless.

Furthermore, collecting these cards allows gamers to move up in the rankings of the World Cup collection book released by EA, which rewards FUT enthusiasts for their participation in the event. This means the more World Cup cards you acquire, the better the items you'll get at the end of the campaign.
