With EA SPORTS FC 26 taking center stage, football fever swept through Fan Fest as Club, Community, and Publisher Houses embraced the beautiful game. EWC Play also introduced new football-themed Quests that challenged fans' skills both in-game and beyond. Here's everything you might have missed at EWC 26 Fan Fest during Week 3.

The Community House

Football Club Focus

This week, the Community House became the home of EA SPORTS FC 26, with fans taking part in mini-games and challenging fellow visitors throughout the day. No matter your skill level, there were plenty of opportunities to play, compete, and earn rewards along the way.

International Club House

Liquid vs. Falcons

Last year's Club Championship winner and runner-up, Team Falcons and Team Liquid, went head-to-head once again at the International Club House, setting up across from one another throughout the week.
Both clubs leaned into the EA SPORTS FC 26 festivities with football-themed mini-games and fan activities. Team Liquid also offered a change of pace, hosting Trackmania time trials and free play for visitors looking to take a break from the football action.

Publisher House

Home Field Advantage

Of course, Electronic Arts took over the Publisher House during Week 3, giving fans the chance to jump into EA SPORTS FC 26's Ultimate Team through free play, mini-tournaments, and a variety of in-game challenges.
Fans could also put their real-world football skills to the test with EWC Play Quest activities, but the biggest highlight came when EA SPORTS FC legends Bruce "Spank" Grannec and Mahmoud "Brak2k" Gassama stopped by for a meet-and-greet before showing they still had the skills that made them household names in competitive EA SPORTS FC.

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles

Karim Benzema Showmatch

But it wasn't just EA SPORTS FC stars getting in on the action. Football icon Karim Benzema swapped the real pitch for the virtual one during a special one-night-only EA SPORTS FC 26 showmatch at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
Before the FC Pro World Championship at EWC 26 Grand Final, legendary football commentator Omar Da Fonseca brought his trademark energy and enthusiasm to the stage as host of a star-studded showmatch between Team Benzema and Team Amine. Featuring Karim Benzema and Bruce “Spank” Grannec against Mohamed Amine “AmineMaTue” Mahmoud and Mahmoud “Brak2K” Gassama, the exhibition gave fans an entertaining warm-up before the title match, with Team Benzema cruising to a 4-0 victory.
