Since 2020, Conmebol has signed an exclusive contract for the use of competition rights with EA Sports and has forced all clubs to release their commercial and naming rights for the FIFA series, threatening to exclude from Copa Libertadores and Copa South American clubs that will not respect this will.
ESPN Brasil sources confirmed that Athletico-PR, Atletico-MG, Corinthians, Palmeiras and Sao Paulo have not yet signed, effectively questioning their participation in the next competition.
