How to Complete Around the World SBC in FIFA 23

Around the world, around the world.

I’ve seen enough sports movies to know that when a whole team of very different people set their differences aside to go for the gold, they’re absolutely unstoppable. If you’ve never assembled a multinational team of underdogs before, though, I know a great way you can get some practice. Here’s how to complete the Around the World SBC in FIFA 23.

How to Complete Around the World SBC in FIFA 23

SBCs, or Squad Building Challenges, are puzzles in FIFA 23 that challenge you to assemble a team meeting a certain set of parameters from the players available to you. It’s a good way to practice putting multifaceted teams together, and if you can successfully solve one, you can earn card packs to unlock more players.

In the case of Around the World, this SBC challenges you to assemble a team of multinational players that still have powerful chemistry with one another. Specifically, you need to fulfill the following requirements:

  • Exactly ten players representing ten different nations
  • At least eight rare players in the starting XI
  • The squad needs an overall rating of at least 81
  • Each player needs to have at least two chemistry points with every other player
  • The whole squad needs a minimum of 24 chemistry points between all players

There are a few different ways you can solve this puzzle, though getting the players you need together can cost tens of thousands of coins. Here is just one potential configuration you could use to solve the puzzle without burning a giant hole in your wallet:

  • Flekken, Netherlands
  • Widmer, Sweitzerland
  • Aidoo, Ghana
  • Christensen, Denmark
  • Gabriel Paulista, Brazil
  • Reguilon, Spain
  • Neuhaus, Germany
  • Kondogbia, Central African Republic
  • Forsberg, Sweden
  • Haller, Ivory Coast
  • Rafa Mir, Spain

Depending on how you get these players’ cards, be it through direct purchases or pack pulls, this particular configuration will, ideally, run you around 15,000 Coins, maybe less. As I said, this isn’t the single explicit solution to this puzzle, merely one configuration to give you an idea of what you’re looking for.

Around the World is part of the Hybrid Nations challenge group. If you can complete every SBC in the group, you’ll get a jumbo pack of cards for your trouble. No bubble gum included, unfortunately.
