Pick up your controller and take part in the ultimate EA FC tournament with multiple chances to qualify — both online and in person. Either make your way through online qualifiers with your Ultimate Team or join one of the qualifiers at Ezone on 9 May or at Que Club in Oud Metha on 15 May and you could be in the finals at Gameexpo in Dubai World Trade Centre on 5 and 6 June.

How can you qualify for the finals?

With four online qualifiers there’s plenty of roads to the finals at Dubai World Trade Centre. There’s different rules for each qualifier so start training now to get your team in shape.

Qualifier 1 will take place on 10 May with entrants only allowed to compete with Bronze players. Choose your squad wisely. If you fail to qualify on your first attempt then try to outplay your opponents on 17 May where each Ultimate Team will be able to select at least four Tiki Taka players and Spanish players. 

The next online qualifier will take place on 24 May where squads must only contain players from the same league. Whether you’re a Premier League legend, La Liga aficionado or Bundesliga supporter, now's your chance to see which league has the best players for you. And the last chance to qualify online is on 31 May where squads must have zero chemistry.

To qualify in person head to Ezone on 9 May or to Que Club in Oud Metha on 15 May. For more ways to qualify click here for a full list of offline qualifiers.
