How To Complete Ballon d'Or Challenge SBCs
CloseAs a tribute to football's most prestigious awards, the makers have introduced special golden cards featuring some of this year's top-nominated footballers. Currently, there are two Ballon d'Or Challenge SBCs available in EA Sports FC 25, but they are set to expire soon.
Ballon d'Or Challenge 1
CloseThe first challenge requires you to submit a squad of 11 players, with all of them having a minimum Silver Player Quality. In addition to this, here are all the Objective Group Challenge Requirements:
Challenge Requirements
Total players
Players from the same country/region
Maximum 4 in your starting 11
Total number of leagues
Minimum 3 in your starting 11
Gold Players
Minimum 1 in your Starting 11
Rare Players
Minimum 2 in your Starting 11
Total Chemistry
Minimum 14 in your Starting 11
These challenges might seem a bit intimidating at first, but they’re quite easy to solve. The simplest trick you can use is to focus on one league to secure the 14 chemistry, which can be the trickiest part.
Fill your attacking and midfield positions with players from the same league, then use any two Rare silver or gold players from two different leagues in your defense to meet the rest of the requirements.
You can opt for the Premier League, just like we did, mainly because we find it to be quite diverse when it comes to player options.
Avoid using more than three players from the same country or region.
If you have enough UT coins but are running low on SBC fodder, simply copy the team shown in the image above and purchase each player from the transfer market. While this approach may be a bit heavy on your UT coin balance, it’s definitely the easiest way to complete the Ballon d'Or Challenge 1 SBC.

Ballon d'Or Challenge 2
CloseSimilar to the first challenge, this SBC also requires you to submit a squad of 11 players, all of whom must have a minimum Silver Player Quality. In addition to that, here are all the Challenge Requirements you need to meet to complete this SBC:
Challenge Requirements
Total players
Players from the same league
Maximum 4 in your starting 11
Players from 1 club
Minimum 2 in your starting 11
Gold Players
Minimum 8 in your Starting 11
Total Chemistry
Minimum 22 in your Starting 11
This challenge is definitely tougher than the first Ballon d'Or challenge due to two key reasons: you need eight gold players and a total of 22 chemistry. Another crucial factor is managing the number of players from each league, as the challenge requires you to use fewer than four players from any single league.
To achieve the 22 chemistry, try using three leagues with players from similar countries. Your best option is to focus on the top leagues, where you can find English, Spanish, German, and French players. In our SBC solution, we used French players from four different leagues to boost our chemistry, then added more players from their respective leagues.
