With Anders Vejrgang qualifying for the FC Pro Open twice this season, the roster is being expanded by one additional player from the FC Pro Open Global Qualifier.

To determine this extra spot, players who lose in the Lower Bracket Round of 2B in each group and have the best goal differential will compete in a four-player, single-elimination bracket. The winner will secure the 17th spot in the FC Pro Open, joining Vejrgang in the same group. These matches will take place following the conclusion of all group-stage games on November 3rd.

Updated Formation Guidelines
In response to player feedback and the launch of the revamped tactics system in EA SPORTS FC 25, FC Pro will not impose any banned formations this season. The new system accommodates various styles of play, allowing players to utilize formations such as 3 or 5 at the back as they see fit.

Mandatory Precision Shooting
This season, FC Pro is making Precision Shooting a requirement in all official matches. Introduced in EA SPORTS FC 24, this feature gives competitive players greater control over their shots and will be automatically activated in the FC Pro game mode’s settings.

Match Duration
Continuing from last season, all official FC Pro matches will feature 9-minute halves. This format, which was introduced last season for single-leg play, has been well-received and enhances the overall competitive experience, so it will remain in place.

Streamlined Offline Events
For all in-person competitions, the organizers will exclusively use the Direct option in the FC Pro game mode. Last season's mixed use of data centers and Direct led to varied experiences across events. This change will ensure a consistent atmosphere from start to finish.

Event Apparel Requirements
At in-person FC Pro events, all players and coaches are required to wear team or club attire. Additionally, shorts and open-toed shoes are prohibited at the venue. This measure aims to foster a more professional environment for all FC Pro competitors and their clubs.

Prize Pool Update
With an increase in participants this year and the addition of the FC Pro Open Cup, the prize allocations for the FC Pro Open competitions for EA SPORTS FC 25 have been revised. While the total prize pool remains at $1,000,000, the distribution has been adjusted.

League Partner Competitions
FC Pro values the global nature of esports and the football community. The organizers are thrilled to welcome back many football league partners, who will be deeply integrated into the FC Pro ecosystem. This season, it is anticipated that over 30 leagues will conduct esports competitions at the domestic level to crown national champions who will advance to the FC Pro World Championship.

Primary competitions from league partners are scheduled to take place from February to April. Participants should keep an eye out for announcements from their local leagues in the coming months!

Upcoming FC Pro World Championship
Players are encouraged to mark their calendars for the second FC Pro World Championship, set for Summer 2025, where a new World Champion of EA SPORTS FC 25 will be crowned. The event will feature the top four players from the FC Pro Open alongside 28 players from league competitions worldwide.

The championship will follow a standard group stage format leading to a single-elimination tournament for 32 players. Participants should stay tuned for more details, including dates, location, and ticketing information, coming in the new year!
