Brazilian Championship on FC Mobile: All licensed players revealed
In this post you'll learn about the return of the Brasileirão (Brazilian Championship) to FC Mobile , featuring 22 players from Série A. Bahia and Botafogo are the represented clubs, bringing back licensed players after almost 11 years of absence. ⚽
The Brazilian Championship in FC Mobile officially marks the return of licensed Brazilian players to the EA Sports franchise after a long absence. On February 5th, Electronic Arts added 22 Série A athletes to EA Sports FC Mobile, the free version available for Android and iOS. The cards arrived through the "Ginga" event and feature real names, official attributes, and licensed faces, something that hadn't happened since FIFA 16. See all the players that arrived!
The official return of the Brazilian Championship on FC Mobile
The Brazilian Championship returns to FC Mobile represented by two clubs: Bahia and Botafogo. Each team received 11 licensed players , forming practically a complete starting lineup within the game. These players can be used in My Team mode, in addition to appearing in the Draft and the Market starting with the "Ginga" event.
This return ends a nearly 11-year gap without licensed Brazilian athletes in the franchise. Since FIFA 16, national clubs have featured generic players due to contractual issues related to image rights. Now, with the Brasileirão in FC Mobile, the squads will faithfully reflect what fans see on the field.
Brazilian law stipulates individual negotiations with each player. This means that the developer needs to close separate contracts with hundreds of athletes to assemble complete Serie A rosters. In other countries, leagues have centralized agreements through entities that manage rights collectively, which simplifies the process.
Bahia on FC Mobile: Full licensed squad
Bahia entered the Brasileirão on FC Mobile with 11 licensed players. They are:
- Ronaldo (Goalkeeper) – Overall 110
- Gilberto (Right-back) – 111
- Kanu (Defender) – 111
- Ramos Mingo (Defender) – 112
- Luciano Juba (Left-back) – 113
- Acevedo (Steering Wheel) – 111
- Jean Lucas (Central midfielder) – 114
- Everton Ribeiro (Attacking midfielder) – 116
- Ademir (Right winger) – 112
- Erick Pulga (Left winger) – 113
- Willian José (Forward) – 114
Everton Ribeiro has the highest overall rating in the squad, at 116, standing out in passing and dribbling attributes. Jean Lucas appears as a balanced piece in midfield, while Willian José offers a strong offensive presence in the area. Besides these names, the club has other generic players already present in the game, but the 11 listed above are the officially licensed players within the event.
Botafogo on FC Mobile: 11 names added
Like Bahia, Botafogo also received 11 licensed players for the Brasileirão on FC Mobile. The complete list includes:
- Léo Linck (Goalkeeper) – Overall 110
- Vitinho (Right-back) – 111
- Mateo Ponte (Defender) – 110
- Barboza (Defender) – 112
- Alex Telles (Left-back) – 114
- Allan (Midfielder) – 113
- Danilo (Midfielder) – 116
- Newton (Steering Wheel) – 110
- Montoro (Left winger) – 112
- Joaquín Correa (Forward) – 114
- Arthur Cabral (Forward) – 113
Danilo leads the squad with an overall rating of 116. Alex Telles also stands out, mainly due to his offensive prowess coming from the wing. In attack, Joaquín Correa and Arthur Cabral increase the team's finishing options.
The return of the Brazilian Championship to FC Mobile could pave the way for a greater presence on consoles and PC. Reports indicate that Electronic Arts is negotiating with Brazilian clubs that will compete in the 2026 Copa Libertadores. Among those mentioned are Flamengo, Palmeiras, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Mirassol, and Fluminense, in addition to Bahia and Botafogo, which already appear on mobile. Santos is also reportedly in negotiations to return to the franchise.
As is the case annually, the game is usually updated with the teams that have qualified for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana between March and April, when the group stage begins.
