Players will need to compete in FIFA Mobile's Founders Event to become eligible to receive exclusive rewards in EA Sports FC Mobile. Here are all the details.
EA Sports FC Mobile is set for a global release on September 26, 2023. Though the game is still some time away, there is something you can do to get a headstart in the next installment in the next era of EA's popular football series: becoming a Founder.
If you are a Founder, you will be eligible to earn Special Player Items, Vanity items, and access to the Founders Premium Star Pass in EA Sports FC Mobile.

To gain this coveted status, you will first need to participate in the Founders Event being held in FIFA Mobile. You can progress through the event and claim Player Items that will carry over as a special version with a lower OVR when the next season begins.
It's certainly a pre-season event that no player will want to miss out on, so here's what you need to know about it.
FIFA Mobile Founders Event Guide
The Founders Event will be available in FIFA Mobile between August 24 at 01:00 UTC and September 26, 2023. In total, it will run for 34 days.
You will need to tap the 'Be a Founder' button in the Founders Event to become a Founder in EA Sports FC Mobile. Once you press this button, you will get a Founders logo, a Founders Token, and access to the Milestone Rewards in the current season. Additionally, you will gain access to the Premium Star Pass in the next season. Becoming a Founder is free and does not require you to spend any resources to earn it.
Depending on the number of players (or Founders) who sign up for the event, you can get special milestone rewards - similar to Community Rewards. Here are the milestone rewards:
Milestone | Reward |
5,000,000 Founders | 108 - 113 OVR Founders Player |
10,000,000 Founders | 1,250 Gems |
20,000,000 Founders | 1,000 Skill Boosts |
30,000,000 Founders | Founders Emote |
40,000,000 Founders | 200 Scouting Points |
50,000,000 Founders | Youssoufa Moukoko (ST, 114 OVR) |
Club Building
You will be able to complete daily and weekly skill games, matches, and training at the Club Building chapter to earn Scouting Points. These points can be spent in the 'Player Searching' section to get players and other rewards.
Daily Training
Here is a breakdown of the rewards you can hope to get in the Daily Training:
Training Type | Rewards | Limit |
Skill Game | 5 Scouting Points and 10,000 Coins | 2 |

Player Searching
You can spend the Scouting Points in the Player Searching section where rewards such as Pioneer players and other items will be available.
Pioneer players are essentially items that will grant you a special version of them with adjusted OVRs and stats in the next season.
You will need to spend 50 Scouting Points for a single Player Search. In it, you are guaranteed a 108+ OVR player and 10,000 Coins. There is also a small chance to earn a 114 - 120 OVR player in each search. As a bonus, you are guaranteed a special Pioneer player in every 10 searches in Player Searching.
These Pioneer players are changed every week. Here's what you can expect in each rotation.
Week | Availability Date | Players |
1 | August 24 - 31 |
|
2 | August 31 - September 7 |
|
3 | September 7 - 14 |
|
4 | September 14 - 21 |
|
5 | September 21 - 26 |

Player | Cost |
James Maddison (CM, 119 OVR) | 3,000 Scouting Points |
Roberto Firmino (ST, 118 OVR) | 2,000 Scouting Points |

There is also a special Exchange where you can trade in a 117 OVR Retro Stars Player and Scouting Points for a 118 - 120 OVR Founders player.

- You can get EA Sports FC 24 on PS5 right now to receive special items and rewards when the game is released.
EA Sports FC Mobile will be released as an update to FIFA Mobile. This means that players will not need to download a new app to continue playing the game.
As it stands, information such as a player's User Name, User ID, FIFA Points (will now be referred to as FC Points), and Ban Status will be transferred to EA Sports FC Mobile. Other items will, unfortunately, be lost.
