    “Being named the first ever Women’s EA SPORTS FC TOTY Captain is an honour.

    Getting the nod from the fans means a lot to me. 2025 was an amazing year – winning the EUROs again and picking up my first BWSL with Chelsea – so much of that success is thanks to our fans, and it’s great to see them recognise my efforts with this award.”

    Liverpool Captain and Defender, Virgil van Dijk also said the following:

    “I’m extremely proud to be named in the EA SPORTS FC Team of the Year for the 7th time. Being voted for by the fans always means a lot, and I’d like to thank them for their support.”

    Jeff Sharma, Vice President, Franchise Strategy and Marketing at EA SPORTS FC, also said the following:

    “Team of the Year is a celebration of footballing excellence as much as fan passion.

    This year’s Men’s and Women’s Team of the Year and Team of the Year Captains pay homage to the players fans love to watch every week: the ones who change matches, carry teams, and define eras. 

    By putting voting in the hands of fans, Team of the Year sits in on the right at the intersection of football and fandom, and that’s where EA SPORTS FC thrives.” 

    EA SPORTS FC 26 is now available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC – learn more about the title via the official EA website.
