By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The Greats of the Game promo has brought another footballing legend to FC 26 Ultimate Team. This time, it is the Brazilian maestro himself, Roberto Rivellino. Known for his thunderous left foot and pioneering the 'Elastico' move, Rivellino's new Icon card is designed to be a creative force in any midfield or attacking lineup. If you are looking to add flair and historical greatness to your squad, this Squad Building Challenge (SBC) is an opportunity you cannot miss.
The Legacy of the 'Atomic Kick' and the 1970 World Cup
Roberto Rivellino is a name synonymous with the golden era of Brazilian football. A key member of the legendary 1970 FIFA World Cup-winning side, Rivellino played alongside icons like Pelé and Jairzinho. His performance in that tournament earned him the nickname 'Patada Atómica' (the Atomic Kick) due to his incredible long-range shooting ability and accuracy from free-kicks. Beyond his power, he was a technical genius, widely credited with perfecting the 'flip-flap' or 'Elastico'—a move that would later be popularized by Ronaldinho.
SBC Requirements and Challenges
To unlock the full Greats of the Game Icon version of Rivellino, you will need to complete a series of 6 challenges. These range from basic squad builds to high-rated tactical requirements. Completion of the entire set will also grant you a 5-match loan version of the player to test out immediately.
