EA Sports Did Not Lose France License, But Are Not Allowed to Use Logo & Kits For Promo
Nov 27, 2023, by Chris
- France License: EA Sports did not lose the full France national team license, but cannot use the team's logo and kits for promotional material.
- Kit Issue: While the France team kit is correct in-game, they appear with generic kits in the Euro 2024 mode trailer.
- FIFA World Cup License: EA Sports has lost the license for the FIFA World Cup, which is now called the International Cup in-game.
Update: EA Sports have not lost the France national football team license. Instead, they only do not have the right to use the French national team for promo images. This is because the FFF (France Football Federation) signed a deal with rival Konami. France's kit is correct in the game.
Oddly, Jonathan Clauss' card in EA Sports FC features an image of him wearing the France 2022 away kit. This could have happened by error - the deal of the FFF with Konami should have prevented EA Sports from using the France image right for promo activity.
EA Sports have lost the license for the France national football team.
France Have Generic Kits in EA Sports FC Euro 2024 Mode
In the recently released trailer for the UEFA Euro 2024, all teams except France are licensed with their official kits. Ousmane Dembele, who represents France, wears a generic kit without any logos.
Meanwhile, the announcement trailer, of course, features the "old" 2022 World Cup kits and not the unreleased Euro 2024 kits. Oddly, EA Sports still have the official numbers of the French team.
France were licensed in the official EA Sports FIFA 2022 Men's World Cup and the EA Sports FIFA 2023 Women's World Cups modes.
EA Sports have not yet released an official statement on why they lost the license for the French national team, and they certainly won't release one until they manage to sign a new deal.
Probably much more importantly, EA Sports have also lost the license for the FIFA World Cup. The tournament is now called the International Cup.
