By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The Festival of Football is in full swing as we approach the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup, and the latest Squad Building Challenges (SBC) release has brought a massive upgrade for one of the world's most aggressive defenders. The Glory Hunters Cristian Romero is now available, celebrating the Argentine's pursuit of greatness on the international stage. This card arrives at a perfect time for players looking to strengthen their backline with a Premier League powerhouse.
Cristian Romero: A Defensive Pillar in 2026
In the real world, Cristian Romero has enjoyed a standout 2025/26 campaign. For Tottenham Hotspur, 'Cuti' was a force of nature, contributing 6 goals across all competitions—a remarkable tally for a center-back. His leadership led Spurs through a successful season, even if it was briefly interrupted by a late knee injury. Now, as the defensive heartbeat of the defending world champions, Romero is once again proving why he is indispensable. Despite another injury scare in Argentina's 2-0 win over Austria in the World Cup group stage, he has shown incredible resilience as he fights to be fit for the Round of 16.
