EA and Napoli have signed a new exclusive, multi-year partnership that will see the Azzurri fully licensed in FC 25. SSC Napoli will be fully integrated into the “World’s Greatest Game,” including FC MOBILE and FC Online.
This development was hinted at after Konami lost the Napoli license for eFootball last month. Since the 2022/23 football season, Napoli has been exclusive to the eFootball series, appearing in the EA FC series as Napoli FC with generic kits and crest. However, this will no longer be the case. Fans will be able to play with Kvaratskhelia & co. in their authentic jerseys and badge in the next edition of the game.
Per il Napoli si ama, per il Napoli si sogna, per il Napoli si tifa e per il Napoli si vive!

The only remaining uncertainty is whether Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, formerly known as Stadio San Paolo, will feature in the next edition of EA FC. The stadium is currently owned by the city municipality, which could make it difficult for EA to acquire its license. More information about the stadiums featured in EA Sports FC 25 will become available as we approach the game’s release.
FC 25 will release worldwide on September 27, 2024, and will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
