After all, FIFA has captured the hearts of soccer fans since the 7th generation of consoles. For us Brazilians, the game was a veritable paradise, until the situation changed drastically in 2014. Due to legal issues and complex processes, the Brazilian League was removed from the 2014 and 2015 editions, leaving many players frustrated.

However, EA has now surprisingly confirmed an agreement with 14 Brazilian clubs for the league's official return in FIFA 17. Furthermore, the company is still negotiating with the remaining teams, seeking to ensure that all teams are included in the game. It's worth noting that, primarily, these negotiations include both club authorization and image rights for each player, to avoid the issues previously faced.
Check out the table listing the teams' statuses:
Flamengo and Corinthians: The Challenges of Exclusivity
However, not everything is rosy. Flamengo has an exclusive contract with KONAMI until 2018, as does Corinthians, which is showing signs of wanting to renew. Therefore, EA will need to find creative alternatives, such as licensing only the players and using fictitious names and badges, something that has been common practice in previous editions.
Surprisingly, this strategy could keep fans satisfied while the company ensures the presence of Brazilian stars on the field. Meanwhile, the list of confirmed clubs will be finalized by the end of July, as promised by EA.
What to Expect from FIFA 17?
Afterward, all eyes turn to the official release. FIFA 17 arrives in September for PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , and PC , bringing impressive graphical improvements and, above all, the all-new Story Mode . This new feature will allow players to immerse themselves even more in the experience, experiencing the challenges and emotions of a rising star.
Finally, get ready to return to the Brazilian pitch with all the excitement that only FIFA can offer!
