David Beckham will soon be officially available as an Icon in FIFA 21. And the best part: You can simply get the legendary free-kick taker.
This is David Beckham: The Englishman is likely known even to those who have little to no interest in football. The Englishman had an illustrious career and became an icon even outside the football field.
Whether as part of the England national team or at Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan, or Paris Saint-Germain – Beckham always made headlines. Especially his artistically taken free kicks are likely to have remained in everyone’s memory. And even in FIFA 21, they are expected to become a real weapon.
After previous leaks hinted that Beckham was coming, it is now official: The Englishman will be part of the FIFA series again.
Beckham is available as a special gift in FUT and Volta
How Beckham comes to FIFA 21: The midfielder will receive multiple versions like all other icons. However, the exact stats are still not officially known and are to be announced on November 27.
It is official, however, that you can easily get him in a unique variant for your team. This is evident from the official statement, which states:
“To celebrate his return to the game, everyone who plays FIFA 21 until January 15, 2021, will receive a unique, untradeable David Beckham item in FIFA Ultimate Team and as a Volta Groundbreaker – starting from December 15, 2020.”

The special card will be untradeable, thus not suitable for trading. It is a special card that is meant to commemorate his Real Madrid debut in the 2003/2004 season. Starting from December 15, you can simply get it for free if you play FIFA 21 until January 21, 2021.
At the same time, he joins the stars that you can secure in Volta.
This is not quite enough yet: Additionally, the cover of the standard edition, which is currently available for purchase in the PS and XBOX store, will temporarily replace Kylian Mbappé with David Beckham. The first two icon cards of Beckham are also supposed to come to FUT in December and be available in packs.
With Beckham, a true legend joins the current icon roster in FIFA 21. Currently, they can still not be obtained through Icon Swaps – but those will also begin soon. At the moment, however, players are a bit worried about the legend swap.
