FIFA 23 is out on early access for EA Play subscribers, as well as players who bought the Ultimate Edition of the game. The Fut 23 web app was released a few days prior to early access, and players initiated their FIFA 23 journey by trading, opening packs, and completing Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) on the app.

SBCs are a vital part of Ultimate Team, helping fans achieve their dream team by providing them with packs and special versions of players. This includes Advanced SBCs, which test gamers and their knowledge of how chemistry and squad-building work in FIFA. These are crucial in the initial stages of the game, as they offer expensive packs as completion rewards. Hybrid Nations is a part of the Advanced Squad Building Challenges section.

Currently, this SBC group costs around 20,000 coins to complete in FIFA 23. However, gamers can bring this price down significantly by using cards already available in their club. While the Nationality requirements are not hard to fulfill, the squad rating requirements can make the four challenges rather difficult. However, the rewards consist of packs worth a store value of over 230,00 coins.


The Fut 23 web app launch was off to a shaky start, full of server issues and glitches, including several logistical problems with SBC requirements. The requirements for certain challenges were bugged, preventing players from submitting their squads. Now, FIFA 23 fans can access the full version of the game and complete these SBCs without any issues.
