While Path to Glory is just one of many events in FIFA 23's World Cup mode, it's perhaps the most important. Why? Players receive dynamic cards that can get massive upgrades over the course of the tournament. Here's all you need to know about the system, as well as an upgrade tracker with all the players.
At least when we are talking about the World Cup mode in FIFA 23, we're hyped. While we would be fine without the World Cup being in Qatar, the content for Ultimate Team is preeeeetty exciting.
Path to Glory is one of them... and here's everything you need to know about it. We explain the system and show you all players and upgraded stats.
Path To Glory In FIFA 23: PTG Upgrades Explained
Path to Glory is a new promo in FIFA 23 that is part of the World Cup mode. We can enjoy a lot of new special cards and... hooray!... they are even dynamic this time. Depending on how the national teams perform at the World Cup, a few players can get some sick upgrades. You can compare Path to Glory to the annual Road to the Finals promo.
Only small upgrades are included for starters but by the end of the 2022 World Cup, they can earn up to 5 different upgrades – the requirements for these are:
- Qualify from group stages (+1 IF Upgrade)
- Win round of 16 (+1 IF Upgrade)
- Win Quarter Finals (Weak Foot Upgrade to 5*)
- Win Semi Finals (Skill Moves Upgrade to 5*)
- World Cup Champion (+1 IF Upgrade and 3 new Traits)
Not only do the stats go up, but also the players' Weak Foot and Skill Moves. Noice.
