FIFA Heroes launches globally

Launching worldwide, the game is available from today on iOS and Android in all major markets

Features a playable roster inspired by football legends, FIFA World Cup™ Mascots, film and TV icons, creators, and fictional characters

Built around short-form, competitive gameplay loops designed for mobile-first audiences

To compliment the on-field action at, FIFA has launched , a fast-paced, five-a-side non-simulation, arcade football game.

FIFA Heroes is aimed at a generation of fans that experiences football through highlights, creators, and social media as much as live matches. It is available now in iOS and Android and will be coming to PC and console soon. The game is built around rapid, high-intensity matches designed for repeat play and shareable moments. Matches last two minutes, and combine real-time PvP, ranked progression, and ability-driven gameplay that rewards timing, positioning, and team composition.

Built by Solace in partnership with FIFA, FIFA Heroes reflects how football culture has shifted from full-length matches to clips, edits, and creator-driven moments. The game translates that behaviour into gameplay, with systems designed to consistently generate high-impact, replayable highlights.

FIFA Heroes, which will come pre-installed on select Motorola devices, also features an exclusive new soundtrack, with unreleased tracks from Central Cee, Raiser, Karri and more.

Enzo Fernandez, Joao Pedro, iShowSpeed, J Balvin, Central Cee, and Luva de Pedreiro headline a line-up that players can unlock and build into their squad. Each character is built with its own abilities that directly influence gameplay, allowing players to experiment with different builds, combinations, and playing styles.

“Football has never been confined to 90 minutes” said Andy Tudor, Game Director, FIFA Heroes. “The sport has never been bigger, and the way people experience it has expanded even further. It now lives not only on the pitch, but across highlights, social feeds, creators, and everyday culture. We’ve built a game for that.”

"Football is everything because of the fans," said FIFA World Cup™ winner Enzo Fernandez, who officially endorses the game. "They live every pass, every goal and every moment with us, whether they are in the stadium, watching at home, sharing clips or playing with friends. Gaming is another way for people to feel that passion and stay close to the sport they love."

At the core of FIFA Heroes’ gameplay is a fast, repeatable match loop built around short-form competition, highly-expressive playstyles, and ability-driven systems. Matches are designed to deliver high-impact moments in quick sessions, while giving players the tools to experiment with different squad compositions, skills, and strategies:

Arcade 5v5 gameplay defines the foundation of FIFA Heroes. Matches last just two minutes, ensuring constant engagement where every possession matters and momentum can shift instantly.

Heroes and squad building form the backbone of player progression and strategy. Players can unlock and assemble a roster of characters inspired by football icons, FIFA World Cup™ Mascots including Maple™ the Moose (Canada), Zayu™ the Jaguar (Mexico), and Clutch™ the Bald Eagle (USA), creators, and fictional characters, each built with distinct abilities and playstyles.

Skills are central to player expression on the pitch, allowing players to combine moves, outsmart defenders, and create space in tight situations. Each skill rewards timing and positioning while enabling players to produce high-skill, repeatable moments that translate naturally into shareable clips.

Superpowers introduce an additional layer, giving players access to unexpected mechanics that can directly influence the outcome of a match. From offensive tools like Meteor Shot, which allows players to strike with power and precision, to control-based abilities such as Magnetiser, which shifts possession dynamics, these powers encourage players to think beyond traditional football play and adapt in real time.

Progression systems allow players to upgrade their Heroes, improve core stats and unlock new abilities that expand their team.

Live seasons and rotating content ensure the game evolves over time. Each season introduces new characters, arenas, modes, and rewards, alongside limited-time events and challenges that encourage regular play.

With regular content updates, new heroes and seasonal events tied to key moments in the football calendar, via the App Store and Google Play.
