Fifa 21 International Teams Kits

Zlatan Ibrahimovic caused something of a stir at the end of 2020 when he asked who had given EA Sports permission to use his name and face on FIFA 21.

FIFER's FIFA 21 Realism Mod Features List. Main Realism Mod. AI Team Selection. Stamina now plays slightly less of a role in determining fitness. More realistic weight distribution of factors for AI team selection, it's much more reliant on overall and match importance. There is no more player career bias, so a virtual pro won't play. In this video, it will also show you all 49 International Teams which will feature in the upcoming videogame. Within EA Sports 2021, available from the games.

It served to demonstrate that the question of image rights is a serious one for footballers and football teams, with financial considerations associated.

In many cases, video game companies such as EA Sports, Sports Interactive and Konami must negotiate agreements with various parties in order to gain permission to reproduce likenesses in virtual media.

FIFA 21 kits aren't just about looking good as you rack up the wins in Squad Battles, Division Rivals and the weekend league. They can also be a strong money-spinner in FIFA 21, bringing in coins.

Editors' Picks

EA Sports' FIFA franchise is one of the most extensive and realistic football games on the market, but even it has been impacted.

Here, Goal takes a look at the clubs that are not officially in FIFA 21.

Which clubs are not officially in FIFA 21?

The most high-profile 'absence' from FIFA 21 in terms of official nomenclature and team badges is undoubtedly Juventus - known as 'Piemonte Calcio' in the EA Sports game.

Juve's absence is the result of an exclusive deal the Italian club has with Konami, which has been in place since FIFA 20.

While Juventus are not officially in FIFA 21, it is in appearance only - EA Sports says 'generic kits and crests' are used. Real-world players, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Dybala, are still included.

A number of other clubs from Serie A are also not officially represented in FIFA 21, including Roma (Roma FC), Spezia (La Spezia) and FC Crotone (Crotone).

Club	Name in FIFA 21
Boca Juniors	Buenos Aires
Corinthians	Oceanico FC
Juventus	Piemonte Calcio
River Plate	Nunez
Roma	Roma FC
Spezia Calcio	La Spezia
FC Crotone	Crotone

Argentine behemoths Boca Juniors and River Plate are known as 'Buenos Aires' and 'Nunez' in the game, meaning the Superclasico will have a different feel to it in the latest edition of FIFA.

One Brazilian club appears in altered form in FIFA 21 is Corinthians - donning the moniker 'Oceanico FC'.

A number of other major Brazilian clubs only appear in the game in the Copa Libertadores tournament: Sao Paulo, Vasco da Gama, Flamengo, Palmeiras, Sport Recife and Red Bull Bragantino.

According to EA Sports, Brazilian clubs launch with generic player names and are not included in Ultimate Team.

It is also somewhat complicated when it comes to international teams on FIFA 21, with a number of teams playing in generic kits and flags used in place of official badges.

FIFA 21 kits aren't just about looking good as you rack up the wins in Squad Battles, Division Rivals and the weekend league. They can also be a strong money-spinner in FIFA 21, bringing in coins when you unearth a hard-to-find or popular strip in a pack. Below we take a look at 11 of the sharpest combos in this year's game, mixing in a selection of cards that attract big coin on the transfer market. All prices are correct on PS4 as of Friday 18 December. Welcome to your FIFA 21 kits guide.

FC Bayern (away)

League: Bundesliga (GER 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 350 coins

It’s a two-tone grey look on the road this season for the Champions League winners, in which Robert Lewandowski is likely to hammer at least two dozen away goals. The badge, logo and sponsor are all in crisp orange-red, to offset the basic-yet-elegant base colour. Sehr, sehr gut.

Borussia Dortmund (home)

League: Bundesliga (GER 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,500 coins

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very… sorry Freddie, this one isn’t frightening at all, but it is a bit of a scorcher. Bayern’s big rivals break with their traditional, simple yellow-and-black combo for something significantly noisier, and in doing so replace long-standing sponsor Evonik with a new logo: German internet provider 1&1.

Barcelona (away)

League: La Liga (SPA 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,600 coins

Barca in black and gold? We’re into wolf-whistling territory here. The kit is high concept: it’s represented by the slogan “The colours are within”, with the legendary Spanish club stating that “Barca fans’ heart are Blaugrana, no matter what is on the outside”. It’s only the third time in Barca’s history that they’ve had a predominantly black kit, along with 2011-12 and 2013-14.

Inter Milan (home)

League: Serie A (ITA 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Fifa 21 International Teams Kits Free

Cost: 1,300 coins

You really really really wanna zig-a-zig ah? Then Inter’s startling yet somehow sexy new look is the FIFA 21 kit for you. Like Dortmund it’s a colossal break from the norm in a bonkers year, with the Milan side’s traditional blue-and-black stripes swapped for a design inspired by Il Biscione - the city’s traditional symbol of an azure serpent.

Benevento (away)

League: Serie A (ITA 1)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 4,400 coins

Continuing the Italian theme, both Benevento kits are worth nabbing – either to wear in game, or as an investment. Along with Crotone, they’re one of two Serie A sides whose kits are silver rather than gold, meaning they’ll be hard to find all year. But while Crotone’s kits are fakies, Benevento’s are real, making them even more highly sought after.

Bielefeld (third)

League: Bundesliga (GER 1)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 1,200 coins

Another strip that’s both easy on the eye and beneficial to your long-term FIFA 21 coins bank balance. Just one Bundesliga side in FIFA 21 sports silver-carded kits: you’ve guessed it, it’s Bielefeld. If you see one of these on the market for under 1,000 coins, snap it up and immediately re-list with a 25% mark-up.

Southampton (home)

League: Premier League (ENG 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 200 coins

Fifa 21 Kit Creator Mod

Breaking a tradition has been a theme here, and it’s especially welcome in the often risk-free Premier League. In fact, Saints have done something more complex than that: they’ve done away with more recent traditions (red-and-white stripes) to reinstall a much older one, with this sash stunner a throwback to their first ever kit, from 1885. It’s also one of the few on this list that you can nab at discard price.

New Zealand (home)

League: Men’s National (INT)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 4,500 coins

It’s all white on the night for the All Blacks. NZ’s home strip is up there with Nike’s best: beautifully simple, classy, and – as it’s an international kit – sponsor free. It’s another that’s a formidable investment. Both New Zealand strips went for close to the maximum of 5,000 coins throughout FIFA 20’s lifespan, and that precedent is repeated this year.

Al Ain FC (home)

League: United Emirates League (UAE 1)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 2,200 coins

More supremely clean Nike excellence here, though this time with a subtle yet elegant splash of purple. Al Ain FC are the only UAE club in FIFA 21 and as I write this there are only three cards representing this kit on the entire transfer market, so snap it up quick if you want to sport it in-game. The club’s all-purple away number is a real looker, too.

Angers SCO (home)

League: Ligue 1 Uber Eats (FRA 1)

Card type: Gold common

Cost: 200 coins

Fifa 21 Kit Update

Italy’s most successful club may not be in FIFA 21 – for an explanation of why, check out our FIFA 21 Juventus guide – but Angers’ home colours are a strong replacement if you’re looking to build a squad of past and present Juve greats in Ultimate Team. It’s even made by Kappa, who manufactured a stack of classic Juventus strips in the eighties and nineties.

Chelsea (third)

League: Premier League (ENG 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,100 coins

Fifa 21 Coolest Kits

What’s this? Chelsea turning themselves into a hybrid of Barca, Crystal Palace and Inverness Caledonian Thistle? Well… yes. Frank Lampard’s boys wearing red and blue shouldn’t work on paper but it just does, throwing back to a classic Nike trainer from the 1990s. As our FIFA 21 Icons guide will tell you, retro always works well in EA’s footy series.
