ARE ISRAELI TEAMS FORBIDDEN?

The Israeli premier league rank is 16 in UEFA country coefficients list, and still in every FIFA game there wasn't even one team that included in the game. Maccabi Haifa won juventus and olympiacos last year in the champions league, this year qualified to the europa league. maccabi tel aviv and hapoel beersheva also good teams. In FC 24 there are leagues that their rank lower then the israeli league, such as poland, ireland, romania and sweden, and even teams from greece and cyprus that ranked lower. I hope it isn't because of political reasons.

  • @idan939 It isn't for political reasons, trust me. It's licensing issues just because a certain team stands out doesn't mean EA have the rights to use it in the game.

    How do you know that it isn't for political reasons? I am not talking only specifically for this FIFA/FC 24 game, it's 20 years of ignoring! even one team didn't include in the game. The israeli teams qualified to the champions league and europa league over and over again in the last 10 years, and you tell me EA couldn't reach to aggrements with one iaraeli team? Does EA even tried to license them?

    I suspect it is for the reason that some nations do not maintain diplomatic ties with Israel and therefore if EA were to add the clubs some of these nations may ban the game from being sold in their county. The biggest is Saudi Arabia, the rest are small markets. 

    I do hope Israeli clubs eventually get into the game, especially Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, as along with Serbia they are clearly the best leagues without any representation in the game.

  • Yes my man you are alright, the israeli and serbian leagues better then all the lower ranked leagues I mentioned. Red star belgrade, partizan belgrade, maccabi haifa and maccabi tel aviv should be inclouded in the "rest of the world" area in the game. Saudi arabia in negotiation woth Israel about normalization between them, I believe it will happen sooner or later.

    I feel your pain. 

    Honestly, as bad as EA is, I do think licensing is the issue.

    I love to stir the pot as too.  

    Guess you have to convince the world.
