Football Manager 2021: What about Juventus Turin?

Licenses for players, competitions and teams are a special topic in video games, as there are often exceptions for legal reasons. In Football Manager 2021, this can be seen with Juventus Turin.

Zebra time: the name Juventus is also missing in Football Manager 2021.

Already in this year's FIFA 21, "the old lady" from Piedmont receives special treatment, albeit not a positive one from the player's point of view, as explained in this article.

Football Manager 2021: Juventus once again absent

Due to the exclusive rights Juventus sold to PES publisher Konami, Football Manager 2021 is also not allowed to use the official brand. This was already the case in the predecessor and now continues consistently.

• In place of this, the club named Zebre can be found. This is a clear allusion to the black and white vertical stripes that are characteristic of the Juve jersey.
• The waiver of the correct name is all the more eye-catching, because otherwise all Italian clubs are authentically represented.
• After all: Since the exclusive licensing refers only to the club including logo, all players are represented with their real names and pictures.

As a result, you do not have to do without stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Danilo, Aaron Ramsey and Giorgio Chiellini as a Zebre manager. Possibly there is a remedy from the community regarding the name: After all, the community is always working on packs that you can install manually. Whether this will also be the case with Juventus or Zebre remains to be seen - after all, there is already a Stadium Fix, through which the name Allianz Stadium appears in the game.
