By Alfie Carrington••3 min read
The international football season is in full swing, and FC 26 Ultimate Team is celebrating the peak of the 2026 World Cup with one of the most exciting Squad Building Challenges (SBC) released this year. The 1 of 4 93+ FOF PTG, GH, Phenoms and Star Performers Player Pick offers a massive floor for rewards, ensuring that every player you pick from is at least a 93 overall. This pick includes items from four prestigious promos: Festival of Football Path to Glory (PTG), Glory Hunters (GH), Phenoms, and Star Performers.
Understanding the Player Pick Rewards
This specific SBC is designed for players looking to bolster their squads with high-end international talent. The Path to Glory cards are particularly valuable as they are live items that upgrade based on their national team's performance in the 2026 tournament. With the tournament reaching its final stages, many of these cards are already sitting at their maximum ratings or possess incredible PlayStyle+ combinations. Additionally, you will receive a Premium Gold Pack and an Electrum Players Pack for completing the individual segments, adding extra value to the overall cost.

Cost and Market Value Analysis
Completing this SBC requires a significant investment of high-rated fodder. Currently, the estimated cost to complete all segments is approximately 49,750 on consoles and 57,250 on PC. Given that the minimum rating is 93 OVR, the potential 0 of pulling a top-tier card like a fully upgraded Kylian Mbappe or Jude Bellingham far exceeds the initial completion cost. Because this SBC is repeatable 3 times, it serves as an excellent 'fodder drain' for those holding duplicate high-rated cards from their season rewards.
Real Life Impact: The 2026 World Cup Cycle
The Festival of Football campaign is intrinsically linked to the events unfolding across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Players included in the PTG and Star Performers categories represent athletes who have stood out during the group stages and knockout rounds. For instance, players from nations like Argentina, France, and the host nation USA have seen their PTG cards skyrocket in stats as they progress through the bracket. This SBC is your best chance to grab those players who have redefined their legacies on the world's biggest stage.
- Path to Glory (PTG): Live items that upgrade with real-world wins and clean sheets.
- Phenoms: Celebrating the brightest young stars making their tournament debuts.
- Star Performers: Static boosts for players who earned 'Man of the Match' honors.
