Why FC 26 needs the Italian "Eccellenza" and Serie D with real Young Players

Dear EA Sports Team,

 

As a long-time fan of the franchise, I would love to see an expansion of the Italian League system. Currently, we only have Serie A and Serie B (often without full licenses).

 

My suggestion is to include at least the Serie C or Serie D (and potentially regional leagues like Eccellenza). Many players in Italy enjoy 'Road to Glory' career modes, and being able to start from the bottom of the pyramid with local teams would greatly increase engagement and realism.

 

The Italian community is huge, and we would love to see our local teams represented, even with generic kits if licenses are an issue.

 

Thank you for your work!

 

Furthermore, it would be amazing if these lower leagues came with authentic youth rosters. Having real players in the academy or reserve teams for Eccellenza and Serie D clubs would make the 'Road to Glory' experience much more immersive. It’s essential for scouting and developing local talents that represent the true soul of Italian football.

  • We are getting so much support and interest here! It’s clear that fans want more authentic local clubs like Briga in the game. It would bring a fresh vibe to Career Mode and Ultimate Team. Let’s keep this discussion alive, EA needs to see this passion!

  • 100+ views! Thanks everyone for the incredible support! Just imagine starting a Career Mode with Briga, building the stadium, and taking them from the lower divisions to the top. Which young talent would you sign first for a team like this? Let’s hear your ideas!

  • Small update! We reached 170+ views, thanks! Fun fact: I actually play for Briga U16 in real life, and a friend of mine plays for the U17s. We're trying to take this club to the top both on the pitch and in this Career Mode! ⚽️🔵⚪️

  • Huge update! 🚨 Here is my real-life squad! 🔵⚪️

    I wanted to show you that this career is real: I’m the starting Left Back for Briga U16. This season has been intense: I’ve played most games as a starter and even earned an MVP award 🏆. It’s not always easy to balance football and everything else, but wearing these colors is everything.

    Check out the team photo and my stats from the official app! Let’s push for 200 views! ⚽️🔥

  • Monday didn't go our way on the scoreboard, we lost 3-1 against a strong opponent, and when they are better, you just shake their hands without making excuses. But the real game is seen in the duels, the shoulder-to-shoulder tackles, and the hunger to not give up a single inch—even when you spit blood and take a split lip home. As a team, we gave absolutely everything until the very last second. You can lose a battle on the scoreboard, but you never lose your dignity and the will to fight together. Heads up for the next one, ready to hit back even harder.
