Electronic Arts will rename FIFA franchise to EA Sports Football Club, says insider

It looks like the new name Electronic Arts will use in place of FIFA in its football games from 2023 onwards will be EA Sports Football Club, at least according to GamesBeat insider and journalist Jeff Grubb.

“EA Sports Football Club, EA Sports FC, that’s the name of the game,” said Grubb. “I’ve seen trademarks for it, I thought it might just be a feature like an online mode, but I asked about it and that’s it, that’s the name.”

In February, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson had already made it clear that FIFA and EA could go their separate ways after 30 years together.

According to a report in the New York Times in 2021, FIFA would have demanded around $2.5 billion from EA for the publisher to continue to use its name in games, which made the developer consider abandoning the partnership with the head entity of the game. world football.
