It looks like EA is indeed rebranding its smash-hit FIFAღ franchise as EA Sports Football Club.
𝐆According to journalist and industry insider Jeff Grubb, the developer/publisher has allegedly internally approved the decision to change the soccer franchise's name.
).✃"I saw trademarks for it, I thought that could be just a feature like an online𒅌 mode, [but] I asked around about it [and] that's it, that's the name."
Although we can still only take it as a rumor right now - despite Grubb's other industry rumors being proven true as time goes on - it does fit with reports of EA struggling with soccer's governing body, not least because EA filed an application in the UK and the EU for something called 'EA Sports FC' last October, publicly stating that it was "exploring t🐼he idea of renaming [its] global EA S🌌ports football games".
Interestingly enough, the trademarks were filed shortly before the company revealed it was "reviewing [its] naming rights agreement with FIFA, which is separate from all our other official partnerships and licenses across the football world". At the time, we were reminded that EA Sp🦄orts Football Club was a FIFA social feature that ran from 2011 until 2020, so it was possibly connected to that. Now, however, it feels more likely that it may indeed be FIFA's new name.
Did you know that Konami's eFootball series has made the cut over FIFA for the Commonwealth Esports Championships line up later this year?
As Hirun posited at the time, it's an absolutely stunning announcement, not least because when eFootball debuted in September 2021, it was absolutely riddled with bugs, ugly player models, and clocked up abysmal Steam reviews. The new venture for what used to be Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series performed so badly that the developer apologized for it in the weeks following launch.
For those wondering, the other games joining e♔Football in the Commonwealth Esports Championships in August are DOTA 2 and Rocket League.
