EA SPORTS Brings Three Football Legends Together in the Icons of Football Program
EA SPORTS announces Icons of Football, bringing David Beckham, Zinédine Zidane and Zlatan Ibrahimović together in a special conversation about football’s past, present and future.

EA SPORTS has announced a new digital content project, EA SPORTS Presents: Icons of Football, bringing together three of the most recognizable names in world football: David Beckham, Zinédine Zidane, and Zlatan Ibrahimović. The special production, which unites three stars who left their mark on different eras of football history, will be released on July 18 via EA SPORTS’ official YouTube channel and Spotify.
The program focuses not only on the competition that takes place on the pitch, but also on how the game has evolved over the years and how football culture has transformed on a global scale. Hosted by Alex Aljoe, the production will feature Beckham, Zidane, and Ibrahimović sharing the defining moments of their careers, unforgettable memories, and their views on the future of football in an intimate conversation.
Three Careers That Shaped Football History at the Same Table
One of the standout aspects of the program is that three names representing different football generations are coming together on the same platform for the first time.
David Beckham is regarded as one of the figures who, beyond his performances on the pitch, played a major role in turning football into a global brand. Zinédine Zidane is considered one of the most influential figures in modern football history thanks to his achievements both as a player and as a manager. Zlatan Ibrahimović, meanwhile, became one of the game’s most colorful and most talked-about characters by playing for many of Europe’s biggest clubs throughout his long career.
By bringing these three names together in one program, EA SPORTS aims not only to offer football fans nostalgic moments, but also to combine the perspectives of figures who have witnessed different eras of the game in a single piece of content.
The Evolution and Future of Football Will Be Discussed
Icons of Football will go beyond the classic question-and-answer format. Throughout the program, current topics such as football’s tactical development, the impact of technology on the game, the role of social media for athletes, and the opportunities facing the next generation of players will also be discussed.
According to EA SPORTS, the three stars will reflect on the changes football has undergone from past to present through their own experiences while sharing unforgettable memories from their careers. As a result, the program will go beyond being a nostalgic piece centered only on old matches and become a comprehensive conversation in which ideas about football’s future are also shared.
