According to insider Jeff Grubb, Electonic Arts will rename the FIFA game series to FC (Football Club).
EA has already registered the name. According to Grubb’s sources, the reason for the name change is the cost of the rights to the “FIFA” name. EA is paying around $1 billion for it. The FIFA organisation will develop its own game.
In October, it was reported that FIFA intends to sign an agreement with several partners to sell the game rights.
