FIFA 19 EA may waive the license of Brazil

A few days ago through our facebook page we shared a short video showing all the nationals in the FIFA 19 beta.

The video in question highlighted the absence of the Brazilian national team. Today Konami via its official website has issued a short statement regarding the national green gold.

“Due to various unexpected circumstances, player licenses (player names, face models, etc.) for the Brazilian National Team will not be available at launch.

Brazilian National Team badge and official kits are available in the game. However, Brazilian National Team players that belong to a licensed club in the game will still be available as players of those respective clubs.
We are working diligently with appropriate licensing parties to have this resolved as quickly as possible, and plan to have Brazilian National Team players available in an upcoming Data Pack.”

Apparently Electronic Arts is not the only company to have problems with the Brazilian federation and at this point it is reasonable to think that Brazil will probably not be included in the official roster of the final release of the game.
We will continue to follow the story and we will not fail to update you on the matter.

FIFA 19 is expected on September 28, 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch. Keep on following us also through our social Facebook and Twitter for other news and information.
