EA Sports reveals FIFA 21 update: Partnership with Real Madrid until 2025
The FIFA 21 update arrived early Thursday morning (July 16) through a tweet from EA Sports FIFA. That tweet announced the partnership that will keep Real Madrid as part of the football simulation game for another five years.
EA Sports FIFA included a video with their announcement showing real-life footage of the players and fans. Among the stars featured in the clip are Luka Modric and the FIFA 20 cover star Eden Hazard.
The good news with the announcement means fans will continue to see the official gear, stadium, and other items associated with Real Madrid. Many fans of the game were disappointed when it was revealed Junvetus would not be part of the FIFA game due to a partnership with competitor Konami’s PES. Instead, FIFA made a fictional team called Piemonte Calcio.
