FIFA name may disappear from the popular football game

EA hint in a statement on the removal of the FIFA name from the series of football games. The company says it may want to rename the games and is therefore considering the agreement on the naming rights with the international football association FIFA.

The agreement between EA and FIFA about the name of the games is separate from the other collaborations and licenses that the game company has entered into for the game, according to EA CEO Cam Weber. EA has currently concluded licenses with 300 parties, so that more than 17 thousand football players, 700 teams and 100 stadiums are available in the football game.

Since 1993

The first FIFA game appeared in 1993 under the name FIFA International Soccer. The latest version, FIFA 22, was released last week. According to EA, the new game has more than 9 million players worldwide after a few days.


New FIFA rival is a flop

The game that for many years was pretty much the only competitor to the EA FIFA games, Pro Evolution Soccer, recently got a successor called eFootball. The game is also partly free to play.

The reviews of eFootball were devastating and game maker Konami released his apologies presented for the problems.
