From the virtual kit available in the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) mode to the real: this limited-edition football jersey (1.000 units online only) displays a design that mirrors Juventus' forward-thinking attitude. – Unlocked all the new faces added in the latest FIFA update. – Corrected kit details to all the Russian Premier League teams. – Corrected kit details to all the Czech Fortuna Liga teams. – Updated kits for Bolton Wanderers. – Updated kits for Juventus (improved home, away and gk kits; added 3rd and 4th kits).
As a result, Juventus are known as Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20 and have been called Zebre in Football Manager 2020. Zebre is the Italian word for 'zebra' and reflects their traditional striped black and white kit - however, the default kit for the club in FM2020 actually is a black shirt with a diagonal white stripe, much like Piemonte Calcio's fake jersey in FIFA 20.
Realism is key for Football Manager fans when building their dynasties in the game and thus most gamers will want to play as realistic a simulation as possible with Juventus playing in Serie A and other licensing issues fixed like the Euro Cup and Euro Vase being properly called the Champions League and Europa League.

Other problems that arise due to licensing requirements are that the Japan national team does not call up real players, Brazilian clubs have fake names, while Bayern Munich have a fake manager at the start of the game. All these problems can be fixed in the same process which requires some files to be deleted and added on your PC or Mac.
FM2020 Real Name and Licensing Fix
Changing club and competition names to the real names in Football Manager 2020 is quite straight forward as long as you follow the steps below.
The files can be downloaded from SortItOutSI or FMScout and need to be extracted to your computer. You may need to register an account, but it is free and takes just a minute or two.
Then, you can copy and paste the downloaded folders and files to the right locations.
Once you have downloaded and extracted the files, follow these instructions:
- Locate the necessary folder on your computer
Windows: Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonFootball Manager 2020datadatabasedb2010
Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2020/database/data/db/2010/ - Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders inside the 2010 folder
- Copy and paste the new dbc, edt and lnc folders you have downloaded from SortItOutSI or FMScout.
Now, when you start a new game, the real name fixes will be applied. Some of the changes will work for existing save games, but if you started a game before applying these changes, Juventus will still be called Zebre.
To ensure all the changes are updated, you will need to start a new career game.

Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Juventus at the moment, right? Not as far as FIFA 20 is concerned.
After EA Sports and Juventus' partnership came to an end this summer, the gaming franchise was forced into the awkward decision of branding the Italian champions without their name.
Not only that, but the separation meant that EA couldn't use the club badge or their kits, although they have been allowed to maintain their accurate graphics of the players themselves.
Outside of the details on the game, though, it had a profound effect on EA's company as a whole, with their value plummeting by an eye-watering £660 million overnight.
The whole situation gave everybody flashbacks to the rival PES series, where their lack of deals with teams meant the likes of 'London FC' and 'Man Blue' were in the Premier League.
Introducing Piemonte Calcio
It soon emerged that Juventus would actually be called 'Piemonte Calcio' and that further club details would be announced in due course as to not violate Juventus' deal with PES.
Now, the wait is finally over as the release of FIFA 20's Beta version means that players have finally been able to test out Piemonte Calcio, albeit with the player ratings from FIFA 19.
However, EA Sports have taken the time to update any areas that might compromise their legal obligations, meaning that the generic club badge and kits have finally been unveiled.
Club badge and kits unveiled
The badge takes on a similar shape of the old Juventus logo, featuring 'Piemonte' in large letters below the Italian flag and three stars, while 'Calcio' is written above a stallion graphic.
As for the kits, EA Sports have completely avoided the usual Juventus tropes by ditching the stripes in favour of a black design with a large pink sash as well as some smaller pink pin-stripes.
The away jersey seems to be completely yellow, with an Italian flag design down the centre. You can check out some of the screenshots that have emerged from the Beta below:
Let's be honest, it all looks a bit tacky, doesn't it?

EA have been put in a really difficult situation here and will have been forced to produce completely original designs, but it just looks so weird seeing Cristiano Ronaldo in those strips.
The FIFA series has almost been completely immune to these issues that bugged people about the PES games and it will definitely frustrate people given the size of Juventus.
However, we have seen some worse custom kits in our time and there are even some people who think the Piemonte Calcio insignia beats that of Juventus' latest effort.
Can the same be said of the kits? Surely not and it's hard to imagine that either strip would be flying off the shelves if Juventus actually released them.

Anyhow, sponsorship complications aside, we're sure that gamers will be scoring plenty of goals with Ronaldo and co on FIFA 20, even if the jerseys will take some getting used to.
