“FIFA” is changing to “EA Sports Football Club”
EA said last year it was reviewing the naming rights for the series with FIFA, but hadn't revealed anything to us yet.

EA's FIFA football series is reportedly changing its name to EA Sports Football Club. The rumor comes from Jeff Grubb, who announced on his show that his sources claim the decision to change the name follows issues with the International Football Federation, which the franchise is named after.
Specifically, Jeff Grubb stated:
“I saw various trademarks, I thought it might just be another online mode, but I asked around about it and this is it—this is the new name.”
Following reports last month, CEO Andrew Wilson claimed in an internal meeting that the FIFA license is a hurdle to the publisher's ambitions for the football series, arguing that FIFA had prevented EA from expanding beyond the usual game modes, and the only value the FIFA license brings in a non-World Cup year is “four letters on the front of the box.”
Last October, it was reported that EA was exploring the idea of dropping the FIFA name from its games, as the current deal expires later this year and FIFA reportedly wants more than double the amount it currently gets from EA to renew its license.
FIFA 23 probably won't be released this year as we all expected; instead, get ready to welcome EA Sports FC 23.
