After years of absence, the iconic Selecao could finally be making its way back to the virtual pitches of EA FC, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
As the release date for the highly anticipated EA FC 27 draws closer, excitement among the football gaming community is at an all-time high. To further add to that, a recent Gamescom tease has set the internet ablaze with speculation, and it strongly hints at the long-awaited return of the Brazil National Team to the franchise.
For the unaware, Brazil’s national team has been absent from the franchise ever since FIFA 21, a gap that has stretched on for years now. While individual Brazilian players have continued to appear in the game through their respective club and league licensing deals, the Selecao as a whole has remained off the roster.
The root of the issue lies in a longstanding licensing dispute, where securing the national team requires negotiating image rights on a player-by-player basis, something an overarching national team agreement has yet to resolve.
Gamescom Leak Hints At Potential Brazil Return to EA FC
As first noticed by X user ‘Matheus Gamer,’ the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is listed as a sponsor for an EA FC 27 event at the upcoming Gamescom LATAM.
According to many avid fans within the community, this strongly hints towards the potential return of the Brazil national team to EA FC 27 as a licensed team in the game.
EA Sports has also added fuel to the speculation by teasing a special announcement for Brazilian fans scheduled for May 3, 2026.
Note that at the time of writing, the news hasn’t been officially confirmed by EA Sports. So take this with a grain of salt.
However, with the CBF’s involvement at Gamescom LATAM and a dedicated announcement already lined up for May 3, all signs are pointing in the right direction.
