EA Sports FC 25: Clubs Rush

Clubs Rush in EA Sports FC 25 is geared more towards the social aspect of playing EA Sports FC 25. The Rush feature in Clubs “allows you to drop the AI players from your squad and take on the world with the teammates you trust the most”, says EA.

With every win in Clubs Rush, a Victory Point gets added to your Club's tally, which also improves your individual Rush rank. Season-based rewards should give you the motivation to keep climbing up the rankings.
