This file will need to be re-applied if/when official patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, do NOT apply in FM Touch or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2020 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach managers have fake names. These are all fully save-game compatible.
There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for Brazilian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian (including Juventus) and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the downloaded pack
STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.
These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 2040 folder:

STEP 4:
COPY the 8 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
STEP 5
PASTE to
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’
This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players, who are not in the official database and will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.
Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.

I started the game with Juventus but the name of the club in my save is Zebre. I want to fix that. Someone please give me detailed instructions on how to fix this because it ain't that easy as it looks in the opening post.
mons
I'm afraid it really is that easy. Which steps are you having trouble with?
Marko12101983
I did everything as you wrote in the 1st post and I still have the club's name Zebre in my save game.
mons
Can I see screenshots of which lnc file(s) you've edited and where you've placed your editor data folder? Can I also see screenshots of your 2000, 2001 and 2010 dbc folders?
Marko12101983
You got me wrong, mate. I didn't start editing before starting a new game. I already took charge of Juventus before editing and now want to change the club's name with the Notepad. You know, the 2nd option which is explained in the 1st post?
mons
Nonetheless, you still need to apply the files. So, can you please answer the questions: Can I see screenshots of which lnc file(s) you've edited and where you've placed your editor data folder? Can I also see screenshots of your 2000, 2001 and 2010 dbc folders?

What previous one?
As for using it in a save game, the main post already outlines what works in a save game, and what doesn't, with a workaround in the first post on how to get these working in a save game
DineT
Only have a folder sega.soccer. not sega.soccer.champions.
mons
I'm afraid I don't have the game on Android, so I'm a bit limited on the advice I can give. I suspect that it should be possible to apply this file, and would hope that somebody can locate the correct folder and inform me of them, so that I can guide other users on it...
DineT
Thanks Moms. I will try to create the folders and files and see what happens.
And a Big Thanks for all of your work all this years.

mons
Can you do a search for files with extensions .lnc within the Steam folder on Android?
DineT
Dont have a Steam folder
Android\data\com.sega.soccer\files\installed\data\database\ is what i have. I create the subfolders with the files
In Database folder only have a file - player_fix.dat
mons
Within the database folder, can you show hidden files?
DineT
No, dont have that option
mons
Then it may well not be possible to mod this fix onto Android, unfortunately
DineT
I guess not. Thanks for your help 😁
sidius
I have 1.0 installed curently
thanks
mons
There were only very minor additions in club name changes between v1.0 and v1.1 of this file. If you started a save with 1.0, these changes will not take effect. Nonetheless, I suggest downloading v1.1 so that you can benefit from the other, save-game compatible changes.
DineT
It is possible. I found information in another site dedicated to fm mobile
