At the heart of the City badge lies an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip. When tapped with a smartphone, it facilitates a short-range wireless connection that allows fans to unlock exclusive digital content for EA Sports FC 26, including the kit itself.
Fans can also look forward to additional custom items and exclusive loan player picks from both the club and kit manufacturer Puma as part of these rewards.
The kit will be featured in all modes of EA Sports FC 26, such as Kick Off, Career, Club, and FIFA Ultimate Team. Moreover, Manchester City’s men’s team will debut the jersey in a UEFA Champions League match against Villarreal later this month. The women’s team will also sport it during the Women’s Super League fixtures this season.
After previously revealing kits in EA Sports video games and even in the metaverse, Manchester City continues to showcase their commitment to innovative ideas that may leave fans over the age of 35 bewildered.
