Zlatan Ibrahimovic caused something of a stir at the end of 2020 when he asked who had given EA Sports permission to use his name and face on FIFA 21.

It served to demonstrate that the question of image rights is a serious one for footballers and football teams, with financial considerations associated.

In many cases, video game companies such as EA Sports, Sports Interactive and Konami must negotiate agreements with various parties in order to gain permission to reproduce likenesses in virtual media.

EA Sports' FIFA franchise is one of the most extensive and realistic football games on the market, but even it has been impacted.

Here, Goal takes a look at the clubs that are not officially in FIFA 21.

Which clubs are not officially in FIFA 21?

The most high-profile 'absence' from FIFA 21 in terms of official nomenclature and team badges is undoubtedly Juventus - known as 'Piemonte Calcio' in the EA Sports game.

Juve's absence is the result of an exclusive deal the Italian club has with Konami, which has been in place since FIFA 20.

While Juventus are not officially in FIFA 21, it is in appearance only - EA Sports says 'generic kits and crests' are used. Real-world players, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Dybala, are still included.

A number of other clubs from Serie A are also not officially represented in FIFA 21, including Roma (Roma FC), Spezia (La Spezia) and FC Crotone (Crotone).

Argentine behemoths Boca Juniors and River Plate are known as 'Buenos Aires' and 'Nunez' in the game, meaning the Superclasico will have a different feel to it in the latest edition of FIFA.

One Brazilian club appears in altered form in FIFA 21 is Corinthians - donning the moniker 'Oceanico FC'.

A number of other major Brazilian clubs only appear in the game in the Copa Libertadores tournament: Sao Paulo, Vasco da Gama, Flamengo, Palmeiras, Sport Recife and Red Bull Bragantino.

According to EA Sports, Brazilian clubs launch with generic player names and are not included in Ultimate Team.

It is also somewhat complicated when it comes to international teams on FIFA 21, with a number of teams playing in generic kits and flags used in place of official badges.

FIFA 21 was released last Friday, which means that the majority of football fans were spending the previous weekend learning all about the game. There are a lot of things to like about the latest release, but there are some of the same recurring problems that were deafening in the previous edition of the title.

There are also some other problems that we found while playing the game, and it will be interesting to see whether these are amended with the upcoming software update.

FIFA 21: Kits Missing

The first thing that we noticed before even playing a match on the game was the absence of some kits. As a Manchester United fan, I was quick to discover that this season’s third kit is mysteriously missing from the game this season.

Meanwhile, the Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion third kits are also missing. There could actually be a very simple explanation for this however, as the current coronavirus pandemic resulted in both kits being released later than expected. That means that all three third kits for the teams could be updated in the game when there is a software update soon.

FIFA 21: The Art Of Defending

You would be forgiven for thinking that the art of defending has long left the beautiful game in real life after seeing the Premier League results throughout the season. And, it’s fair to say that FIFA has been using the recent Manchester United and Liverpool defending as their template for this game.

Defending in FIFA 21 isn’t easy, as attacking players are easily able to dribble past their opponents. It is much more difficult to defend in this year’s game, which means that those that struggled in FIFA 20 will likely have nightmares. Coupled with that is the issue that it is too easy to score, which means games finished 6-3 aren’t a rarity in FIFA 21 this season.

FIFA 21: Loss Of Licenses

There are certain parts of the real game that fans don’t miss, with the obvious one being VAR being omitted from the game. However, the biggest strength for FIFA throughout its period of dominance has been that it is the only game with every major team being licensed. That dominance was broken last season as Juventus were exclusive to PES, and that is the same this season.

Meanwhile, AS Roma are also no longer in FIFA, which means that a damaging trend could be emerging. FIFA makes up for this with beautiful visuals for AC and Inter Milan, but the omissions of two of the biggest teams in Italy does hurt FIFA 21.
