By Alfie Carrington••3 min read
The Festival of Football has officially arrived in FC 26, and with it comes the exciting 'Answer the Call' series. This new promo focuses on players who are on the verge of securing their spots in their respective national team rosters for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. One of the standout additions to this campaign is the Trincão FOF: Answer the Call card, which is now available via a limited-time Squad Building Challenge. This dynamic item not only boasts impressive base stats but also holds the potential for future upgrades if he makes the final cut for Portugal.
This version of Francisco Trincão transitions him into a highly effective CAM, though he retains his trademark flair from the wing. With 5-star skill moves and a high level of agility, he is designed to be the creative hub of any Liga Portugal or Portuguese hybrid squad. The Trincão SBC is a two-part challenge that offers a great entry point into the Festival of Football promo without breaking the bank.
