Argentine footballing legend Diego Maradona did not feature after FIFA 22 due to a complex legal dispute tied to trademark rights. According to an old report by Eurogamer, the problem arose between Maradona’s former manager Stefano Ceci and Sattvica, the company of lawyer Matias Morla. EA had made a deal with Ceci about Maradona’s trademark rights but as it turned out, Ceci did not possess any legal power to make that deal, and a judge eventually ruled in favor of Sattvica.

This led to Maradona being removed from the popular football video game and since then his absence has created a gap among fans who would love to play with one of football’s legendary figures. But after years of negotiation and legal solutions, the case has finally been settled, paving the way for Maradona’s comeback into EA FC 25.
