From FIFA is not a word to hear, but you have secured the name rights of several thousand footballers.
The fact that the industry giant Electronic Arts thinks loudly to drop the FIFA mark has been known for several days. So it could be that from 2023 the football matches from Electronic Arts no longer use FIFA. Suitable for this the American publisher and developer has already been legally protected the brand name EA SPORTS FC . Whether it comes to the name change, it is uncertain (if likely), because officially the end of the cooperation has not yet been announced.
However, Electronic Arts will continue to float with real player names and clubs, whether with FIFA license or without, because the company has announced that one extended the partnership with the FIFPro player union. The FIFPRO, headquartered in the Netherlands, represents the interests of more than 65,000 athletes worldwide, including several thousand footballers.
However, this union has not yet been connected to all national associations. For example, countries such as Germany, Brazil, wide parts of Africa are missing in the list, almost overall Asia (exceptions include India and Japan) and Russia. With some of these countries, however, Electronic Arts collaborates separately, as in the case of the German Football League, to also use their competitions, playernames and graphics.
