So, are EA able to just pay for rights to the Premier league, Bundesliga, Serie A & La Liga? Teams & players? What do FIFA have exclusive use of for their game?

Ya EA is going to sell a game called "Ultimate Soccer/Football 2024" or something and will put Messi on the cover and make nearly as much as they made with the FIFA name. EA still has the contract with the players' unions and the leagues.

Pretty late here but if they’re a completely separate company these days how come they’ve inherited the broadcast contract???

EA will make EA FC 2024 and it'll be the identical same game we all love to hate with all the licensing rights and FIFA will make janky trash where you play as the Merseyside Reds and can accelerate to infinite speed as long as you're running backwards

There are also instances where teams themselves have some exclusive use of their rights outside of whatever their FA has control over. FIFA 23 is missing a few Italian teams (Roma and Napoli, for example); instead, they're replaced by generic names like Naples FC which have all the Napoli players and colors but a different logo and generic stadium. Basically, poo poo's complicated. But good luck to FIFA on their basically International-only football simulator, I guess.

FIFA owns the trademark for words "Brazil", "Germany" and "Italy". EA has to use generic names for those countries. They also have to use "umpires" instead of "referees".

wooger posted:So, are EA able to just pay for rights to the Premier league, Bundesliga, Serie A & La Liga? Yes. All FIFA were licensing was FIFA, the World Cup and its logos/stadium interior graphics, and maybe the Club World Cup. But that’s it. But everything else - even the international teams in the game - are all separate and will stay the same in EA Sports’ next game. This means if you want to play as a Premier League team against a La Liga team online in a Champions League final, you still can, just in EA FC and not something called FIFA. Watch Infantino go take the license to Konami and see the few Winning Eleven diehards left consider jumping off bridges.

FIFA is not making a video game. Maybe some kind of mobile shovelware, but not something that would compete with major sports titles.

They’re absolutely making the best game! It’s going to be a clusterfuck and I’m here to watch from the sidelines.

In news that will surprise absolutely no-one here, Fifa's claims about the environmental credentials of the Qatar World Cup were full of poo pooquote:Fifa misled fans by claiming the Qatar World Cup would be carbon neutral, a Swiss regulator has ruled.

Here's a simply incredible article about the 2022 CL final, digging into the incredibly close relationship between Ceferin and UEFA's head of security, and the way they've done their level best to blame anybody else but him for the security fuckups at the final because the guy is Ceferin's best friend. I'm not gonna quote the whole thing but here are some highlights:quote:Uefa has been accused of presenting “completely untrue” evidence to its own independent inquiry into the near-disaster at the 2022 Champions League final, to protect its safety and security unit – headed by the president’s best friend – from criticism. quote:Uefa appointed a panel of experts to review the debacle, and it concluded that Uefa had “primary responsibility” because it failed to monitor and oversee the safety plans and operation in Paris. However the panel said this failure was not principally the fault of the safety and security unit whose role is to oversee safety, but of Burkhalter-Lau’s events division, because it had “marginalised” the unit. quote:Burkhalter-Lau’s allegations raise further questions about Uefa’s culture under Ceferin. After the final, the Guardian reported on serious concerns about alleged cronyism in Uefa appointments, with Pavlica and four more of Ceferin’s associates from Slovenia appointed to key positions. Uefa denied the accusation of cronyism, saying they were all “proven professionals”. quote:Ceferin, a lawyer in Slovenia, and Pavlica, former head of personal security for the country’s former president Janez Drnovsek, have been friends for decades, and Ceferin was best man at Pavlica’s 2018 wedding. Shortly after Ceferin became president of Slovenia’s football association in 2011, Pavlica was given his first job in football, working for the association as a safety and security officer. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/sep/25/uefa-accused-of-presenting-untrue-evidence-to-inquiry-on-champions-league-final-chaos

Australia has dropped out of the bidding so Saudi Arabia is confirmed as the hosts for 2034. It would be quite funny if the previous massive bribes meant there was no bidding process and so FIFA execs don't actually get the bribes they were hoping for by bringing the bid process forward.

I hate it all but the one ray of hope is that it would be funny if the sudden onset Saudi interest in football fades over the years to come and we end up with some kind of shitshow nightmare of a World Cup because they halfass everything.

There is no domestic Saudi interest in football outside of their national team. One of their Pro League games had an attendance of like 130 a couple weeks ago. Stevie G's boys played in front of 500 people last week

Already is a shitshow nightmare to host a World Cup in a country with an unlivable climate, literal slaves, no human rights, democracy, alcohol or love of football. Go where the fans are. We’ve had our once in a 100 years experiment with an entirely unsuitable host last time.

they do have actual stadiums unlike Qatar but idk if they're FIFA sanctioned in terms of capacity etc however wtih climate change being what it is (ignoring the obvious corruption obviously) I think winter world cups are going to be increasingly common

Much like in Qatar, I suspect the goal there isn't to have a successful event for the masses, but an opportunity for the failkids of the oligarchs to party in the vvip room with Ronaldinho and a bunch of aspiring models. The equivalent of your average local American nouveau riche paying a celebrity to appear at their social event, but for multi-billionaire sultans.

Maybe Saudi Arabia will choose Newcastle as the host city for the world cup. Would that be so bad?
