Napoli, Roma, and Monza will have official licenses in EA Sports FC 25. After years of absence, the Serie A TIM roster will again include these three clubs.
The confirmation comes from a note released by Konami a few hours ago, announcing that with the latest update of eFootball, all references to the teams mentioned above have been removed.
The non-renewal of contracts by Konami suggests that Electronic Arts, which already has an exclusive contract with the Italian league, might have signed agreements to exclusively use the names, logos, and kits of Napoli, Roma, and Monza.
All official references to these clubs will be available at the launch of EA Sports FC 25 in the official roster of the popular Ultimate Team mode, as well as in Career Mode and Pro Club Volta.
Moreover, with these agreements, players registered with these clubs can receive personalized miniatures when they get special cards for the Ultimate Team mode.
Unfortunately, the possible agreements signed by the Canadian software house with the three Italian teams will not include the possibility of recreating the stadiums that host their matches, as these are owned by the municipalities.
At present, Electronic Arts has not yet released an official statement, which will probably happen in the coming months following the official announcement of the new football simulator EA Sports FC 25.
