FIFA: The soccer game will be renamed EA Sports Football Club?

A well-known informant informed about the whole case Jeff Grubb in his podcast entitled “GrubbSnax”. The naming changes are to come into force with the announcement of the game’s premiere “FIFA 23“which, according to leaks, already has a working, internal name”EA Sports Football Club” be “EA Sports FC“.

Grubb argues that the reason for such a decision is to be financial issues, namely producers and publishers from Electronic Arts they do not agree to the payment of horrendous rates related to FIFA license fees. Developers believe strongly that their successful production of its saints, not by name, and to him that is able to offer players. Recall that the first game under license from FIFA came to light in 1994 – it was FIFA International Soccer.

The next reports that Grubb talks about are even more interesting. In view of this state of affairs FIFA (International Football Federation) may collaborate with another game studio to produce and release to the market your own soccer gameto compete with “EA Sports Football Club” from Electronic Arts.

It is worth mentioning that in October last year, US producers of EA reserved the trademark “EA Sports FC”. Even then, the network uproar of comments and there has been a lot of speculation about the abandonment of the name “FIFA” for the most prominent football game on the market.

If the reports and leaks published by a well-known informant are confirmed, we will undoubtedly witness the end of a very long era.
