Sep 16, 2024, by Pat
- Licensing Loss: EA Sports has lost the licensing rights for AC Milan and Inter, resulting in the teams having fake logos, kits, and no San Siro stadium in EA FC 25.
- Kit Designs: AC Milan will have an orange pajamas-like kit while Inter will have diagonal stripes in turquoise, light green, and navy.
- Fictional Logos: Inter's fake logo features a snake, and AC Milan's fake logo is dominated by St. George's Cross.
Update: With the full release of FC 25 just days away, we get a better look at the unlicensed AC Milan and Inter kits in the game, courtesy of @decoruiz. This includes a first-ever look at both teams' away kits.
Update: AC Milan and Inter Milan will look bizarrely different from the actual teams in EA FC 25; we get to know early thanks to gamer @aale27j80. AC Milan has an orange pajamas-esque kit, while Inter boasts diagonal stripes in turquoise, light green, and navy. This is not because of a lack of effort but surely due to license issues - both teams are not allowed to bring to mind the actual clubs.
6 August 2024: First Look at Fake AC Milan & Inter Logos in EA FC 25
The new Ultimate Team deep dive trailer for EA FC 25, released today, has provided us with a first glimpse at the fake logo that will be used for Inter Milan in the game. In addition, a picture showing the card design for Rafael Leão was shared online, revealing the logo for the fake AC Milan.
A few days ago, it became known that EA Sports had lost the licensing rights for these iconic clubs, who have signed an exclusive deal with Konami's eFootball. The loss includes the San Siro stadium, one of football's most iconic venues. Although player likenesses will remain in the game through FIFPro licensing, the clubs' kits, badges, and stadiums will not. On the other hand, Napoli and Roma will return to being fully licensed in EA FC 25 after being unlicensed before.
The fictional logo for Inter prominently features a snake, a nod to the club's historic nickname, "Il Biscione," which translates to "The Big Grass Snake." The fake logo for AC Milan, is dominated by the St. George's Cross. This symbol is historically significant to Milan, as it is featured in the city's official coat of arms and has been associated with the club since its early days.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
