At the Gamescom LATAM 2026 event in São Paulo, EA Sports announced that the Brazil national team will be featured again in its football video game after a two‑year absence. The deal will bring realistic player faces and names to the game and is expected to coincide with the 2026 World Cup.
Nineteen‑year‑old Brazilian striker Endrick, on loan at Olympique Lyonnais from Real Madrid, scored in a 4‑2 Ligue 1 win and told reporters he is "happy" at Lyon but uncertain about his next move after the World Cup. He expressed gratitude for the club, discussed the importance of the Champions League for Lyon, and taught a reporter a celebratory dance.
Both pieces reflect Brazil’s growing presence in global football, from digital licensing to emerging talent on the field.
