FIFA 20 has lost the rights to Juventus meaning the club’s name, kit and stadium won’t feature in the upcoming game.

Konami – the video publisher for Pro Evolution Soccer – have gained exclusive rights to Juventus for PES 2020.

According to reports, Juventus will be named Piemonto Calcio in FIFA 20 but will still include the team’s players, their names and faces on the game. Their Allianz Stadium will also face a name change, which is still yet to be revealed.

The news comes after PES 2020 partnered with Manchester United and Bayern Munich but these deals were not exclusive.

Juventus have released a statement regarding their deal with Konami on their website.


“The new and exciting partnership with Konami will see the Football PES series have exclusive use of Juventus intellectual property within console football video games 
including the team name, the crest, and official kits”, the club said.

“In addition, the development team has been granted in-depth access to the players themselves, via full-body 3D scan, in order to recreate their likeliness in the game as accurately as possible.”
