EA Sports officially ends FIFA partnership after 30 years of games

EA and FIFA are reportedly in disagreement over $1 billion in franchise fees. EA revealed Tuesday that next year’s FIFA will no longer be called FIFA. The sports franchise will be renamed EA Sports FC after splitting ways with soccer’s international governing body, but EA assures no further changes.

“Everything you love about our games will be part of EA SPORTS FC—the same great experiences, modes, leagues, tournaments, clubs and athletes will be there,” the company wrote in its announcement. Modes like Ultimate Team, Career, Pro Clubs, and VOLTA will all remain, alongside licenses to the biggest national leagues including Premier, LaLiga, and Bundesliga and all of the players, teams, and stadiums contained therein.
