By Alfie Carrington••3 min read
The latest World Tour promotion has arrived in FC 26, and it brings a fantastic new midfield option to the table. The Hina Sugita World Tour SBC is now live, offering players the chance to unlock a highly technical Japanese midfielder who has been making waves in the NWSL. This special item celebrates the global reach of football, highlighting Sugita's influence both for her club and the Japan Women's National Team.
Hina Sugita has established herself as one of the most reliable and creative forces in the Portland Thorns midfield. Known for her exceptional close control, vision, and tireless work rate, she has become a fan favorite in Oregon. Her transition from the WE League to the NWSL was seamless, and this Hina Sugita card reflects her ability to dictate the tempo of a match while providing defensive cover when needed.
World Tour: Celebrating Global Talent
The World Tour campaign focuses on players who have made a significant impact outside of their home nations. Sugita, a cornerstone of the Nadeshiko Japan squad, moved to the United States in 2022 and has since been a consistent performer. In recent seasons, her statistical output in terms of progressive carries and successful dribbles has put her in the top percentiles of NWSL midfielders. This SBC item provides a significant boost to her base stats, making her a viable option for competitive Ultimate Team squads.

Is the Hina Sugita World Tour SBC Worth It?
- Elite Dribbling: Her low center of gravity and high agility make her incredibly difficult to dispossess.
- Versatile Links: Easily links with other NWSL stars and Japanese icons or promo cards.
- Technical Playstyles: Expect her to possess playstyles that enhance her short passing and ball retention.
- Affordable Price: At under 50k, she is an accessible upgrade for most mid-tier teams.
From a gameplay perspective, Sugita excels in a 4-3-2-1 or a 4-2-3-1 as a box-to-box midfielder. While her physical presence might be lacking compared to powerhouses like Patri Guijarro, her responsiveness on the ball is second to none. If you enjoy a tiki-taka style of play, she will fit right into your starting eleven.
