EA Sports added a new set of Throwback Marquee Matchups to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team today that you can complete until next Thursday, July 15, via the squad-building challenges (SBC) menu.
The Marquee Matchups usually are weekly challenges themed around real soccer’s key matchups. EA Sports selects some of the most exciting soccer matches and creates SBCs that reward players with some tradeable FUT packs. For the Throwback version, EA normally selects four international matchups that already took place. EA doesn’t specify what tournament these matches are from or when the games happened.
This week’s Throwback Marquee Matchups are Mexico vs. the United States, Germany vs. Paraguay, Sweden vs. Senegal, and Brazil vs. Belgium. After this SBC expires, a new set of matchups will be added to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Each squad requires a different set of conditions such as rating, chemistry, and types of cards, like asking for some players from a specific league or club. Usually, the most expensive segment will offer the most expensive reward.
The Brazil vs. Belgium segment is the most expensive one and requires an 80-rated squad with a minimum of 85 chemistry, at least two Brazilian and two Belgium players, and it must have a maximum of four players from the same nation, and at least three rare cards. It’ll reward you with a rare mixed players pack after you’re done.
Once you complete all four segments, you’ll receive a tradeable rare players pack as your final reward. If you complete the Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC wisely, there’s a great chance that you can profit from it.
Here are all of the conditions and rewards for each of the segments you’ll have to do to complete July 8’s Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
