"FIFA" fans are in for a big change: the popular sports game is getting a new name.

The title "EA Sports FC" has been circulating on the net for a while - now Electronic Arts has confirmed that the popular football simulation will be called that from now on.

After almost 30 years, the "FIFA" era at EA is coming to an end.

The reason for the name change is that FIFA no longer wants to leave its licensing rights to just one publisher and is considering other partners.

For this reason, EA is now completely separating from the EA branding and continues the series as "EA Sports FC".

Nothing should change in the content of the game, but fans will probably have to make some cuts.

By the way: “FIFA 22” is currently available for free on PlayStation Plus.

"FIFA" becomes "EA Sports FC": game modes and leagues remain

Despite the name change, the most popular game modes will not change - Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, Career Mode or VOLTA Football will remain.

EA also states that they have already secured

licenses for over 700 teams and 30 leagues

.

In addition, the publisher guarantees exclusive partnerships with the

Bundesliga

,

Premier League

,

La Liga

,

Serie A

,

MLS

and other top leagues.

Numerous teams have also confirmed on social media that they will be part of "EA Sports FC", including Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.

However, the FIFA World Cup as such will no longer exist in the game.

"FIFA 23" should still exist

FIFA President Gianni Infantino, meanwhile, has announced on the world football governing body's website that the "FIFA" series of games should remain and in an undertone against EA trotted out: ""I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that bears the name FIFA wears will be the best available for gamers and football fans.

The FIFA name is the only global, original title.

FIFA 23

,

FIFA 24

,

FIFA 25 and FIFA 26

and so on - the constant is the FIFA name and it will forever remain and remain

THE BEST

.”

"FIFA 22" is currently the most popular football game by far, but the competition is already on the rise.

The former “Pro Evolution Soccer” also got a makeover last year and is now called “eFootball 2022”.

However, the game failed to impress when it was released.

In addition, a brand new football game, “UFL”, will be released this year, for which Cristiano Ronaldo, among others, is even promoting.
