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 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

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.

Can I see a screenshot of your editor data folder?
I have no idea what is causing this issue. I've never heard of the guy and I certainly didn't edit him in any of my files.
mons
OK
Kos88
Here's him in DB, he's one of the best attacking coaches in the game, he has a wrong DOB here as well.

Here's the screenshot

If the issue is with the live update, best to take it up with them in their forum because I'm not really involved with that file at all, so don't know what the issue could be...

I'm afraid I have no idea and it doesn't really have anything to do with this file either.
wolvarine o bigodes
I don't like to see "Man City" or "Man utd" or "Wolves" etc ...
mons
Either by using lnc files, by using the code used for all the other clubs, which works in the middle of save games.
Or by creating an editor data file making the changes you'd like to have, by using the pre-game editor

This page will help

Thanx in advance
mons
Can I have screenshots of your edt/permanent and lnc folders?

mons
And did you start the new game with the March official transfer update or before?

You can rename them manually yourself

Real Need License names for FM Touch Android
Please Help me!

Use this file. Some things will not work, and cannot be made to work for FM Touch, unfortunately; read the main post of that thread to see which aspects work.

Yes, download this file.

Which link is that? There is one hosted on this site, one on Deposit Files, one on uploaded.net and another on Mega. All 4 work for me, so the issue must be at your end.

I'm not sure what you're saying.
Are you saying that you cannot download the file? Or that the file is not working properly?
In either instance, that is not the case. If you're getting Juventus as Zebre, then you need to make sure the editor data files are installed correctly. Can you give me a screenshot of your editor data folder?
The more info you give me, the more likely I am to be able to help you. "This link is dead.not working" gives me no information whatsoever. Help me to help you.

You never actually mentioned before that you were using Microsoft Gamepass, no
Use this download if you're playing with Gamepass
