The world's leading game franchise, FIFA 15 will not have Brazilian teams. EA Sports, producer of the game, announced the measure through an official statement this Wednesday.
“The absence of national clubs and stars is mainly due to some changes in the licensing process in Brazil. Therefore, EA was unable to reach an agreement with the players' rights holders and, consequently, they will not be included in the FIFA 15 game, with the respective clubs from the Brazilian championship also being absent. “, says the statement.
However, EA Sports announced that it will have the rights to the Brazilian team. This way, the CBF team will be able to have an official shield and uniforms in the new version of the game.
The producer announced last week that it will have the rights to the Italian Serie A with official shields and logos.
FIFA has been the franchise that most “valued” Brazilian football. Since the 90s, the game has featured teams from here. In 2013, the game featured everyone from Série A, and also Palmeiras, who were competing in the second national division at the time.
FIFA 15 promised more announcements about leagues and licenses on August 13th. The game will be released for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 on September 25th.
FIFA's main competitor, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 will continue to have Brazilian teams. The manager of Konami, producer of PES, in Europe even used Twitter to joke. “Anyway, Brazilian teams are cool on PES,” he posted.
