FIFA 20 Loses River Plate License, Team Will be Called "Núñez"
Aug 7, 2019, by Pat
Following similar news with Juventus earlier this year and Boca Juniors last year, FIFA 20 fans will have to do without Argentinian powerhouse River Plate.
Just like with Juventus and Boca, this is because River Plate have closed an exclusive agreement with PES 2020, which will have all three teams fully licensed including correct logos, kits and stadiums.

Unlike with Juventus, EA did not issue an official statement regarding the "River Plate situation". However, we know that River Plate will be called "Núñez" in FIFA 20, but will likely still include real-life players. Núñez is the neighborhood in Buenos Aires that River Plate's stadium is in.
FIFA 20 apuesta por los nombres FAKE, después de Piemonte, ahora llega Núñez (River Plate)... Ahora en serio, una pena que FIFA no pueda contar con la licencia de 2 equipos tan importantes como Boca y River por tema de exclusividades.

Footy Headlines can leak two real images of the new Barcelona 27-28 home kit. However, these still appear to be products created based on a previous concept. They have an accuracy of about 80% and will differ slightly from the final version.
Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
