The answer to this question requires some explanation, as it is a little complicated.<\/p>\n<p>The 16-year-old (as of writing) Spain and Barcelona wonderkid has taken La Liga and the world by storm.<\/p>\n<p>Netting seven goals and earning 10 assists across 50 appearances for Barcelona during the 23\/24 season and starting in the Euro 2024 tournament for Spain, it\u2019s fair to see why players around the world are keen to add Yamal to their Ultimate Team and Career Mode squads.<\/p>\n<p>Because of his age, though, there are issues with Yamal being in FC 24.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to find out if Lamine Yamal is in FC 24 or not.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Is Lamine Yamal in FC 24?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Yes and no. <b>Lamine Yamal is not in FC 24 Ultimate Team or Career Mode<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely enough, though, <b>you can play as Lamine Yamal in the Euro 2024 mode<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The Barcelona and Spain wonderkid isn\u2019t in FC 24 Ultimate Team or even in Career Mode, with many considering the youth prospect (and regular first-team player) a big miss in the game.<\/p>\n<p>You can only play as Yamal in the Euro 2024 mode as he\u2019s a part of Spain\u2019s squad for the real-life tournament. He doesn\u2019t have a real face scan, but at least he\u2019s in the game in one way or another.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"4dc9f3e43a6b8637b1a751d228f758a2b5d42c86\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"4dc9f3e43a6b8637b1a751d228f758a2b5d42c86\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h2><b>Why isn\u2019t Lamine Yamal in FC 24?
