EA Sports has unveiled the much-anticipated player ratings for EA Sports FC 26 (formerly FIFA), and three Nigerian stars have made the prestigious top-250 list, Soccernet.ng reports.

Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen leads the Nigerian contingent, ranking 78th overall with an impressive 87 OVR.

The Nigerian international's card shows 92 pace, 84 shooting, 65 passing, 81 dribbling, 42 defending, and 84 physicality, confirming his reputation as one of Europe’s most dangerous strikers.

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie sits at 106th, also with an 87 OVR. The Paris FC shot-stopper is rated with 80 pace, 78 shooting, 80 passing, 88 dribbling, 63 defending, and 84 physicality, numbers that firms her status as one of the best goalkeepers in the women’s game.

Atalanta star Ademola Lookman completes the trio at 224th place with an 84 OVR. His card rates him at 86 for pace, 84 for shooting, 73 for passing, 88 for dribbling, 32 for defending, and 67 for physicality, reflecting his speed, sharp finishing, and flair in attack.

Globally, Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé top the men’s rankings with 91 OVR, while Spain duo Aitana Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas lead the women’s ratings at the same mark. EA’s Ratings Database covers more than 17,000 players across the men’s and women’s game.

Osimhen’s spot inside the top 100 stamps his position as one of Africa’s most valuable footballers, while Nnadozie and Lookman’s recognition reinforces Nigeria’s growing influence on the world stage.
