Juventus to ditch Konami and make a return to FIFA

You will be able to play with Juventus in the upcoming FIFA 23 as both EA and Juventus FC have officially announced their new partnership. The Italian football club’s return to FIFA will certainly add authenticity to the game.

Previously, Juventus had a partnership with EA till FIFA 19. However, in July 2019, Konami signed an exclusive deal with Juventus. Juventus became the exclusive partner club of eFootball PES 2020. As it was an exclusive multi-year deal, the Italian football club missed FIFA 20,21, and 22. Piemonte Calcio with a concocted jersey was there in the place of Juventus.

Now FIFA 23 will get back the authentic Juventus along with the Allianz Stadium. Moreover, EA has confirmed that this deal is an exclusive multi-year deal. This becomes a fiasco for Konami as Juventus was their main partner club.

We’re excited to reaffirm our deep commitment to Italian football through this exclusive partnership with Juventus. This phenomenal club means so much to us and our fans, and will enable EA SPORTS to continue to deliver the most authentic and comprehensive interactive football experiences possible in FIFA 23 and beyond.
