If you're playing FM Touch, use this file.
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 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 2021 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 2140 folder:

STEP 4:
COPY the 10 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 2021’
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.

Leave be, no need to edit it for now.
raumdeuter13
thank you for reply,
I can't wait to see final version for full version release.

Looks fine for me 😕 Are both edt/permanent files on your PC in the same structure as the ones in the screenshot in the opening post?

The bits which aren't struck through work and need to be followed, while steps 4 and 5 don't work yet.
Just follow steps 1-3 and you'll be fine. There are some files in this fix which can't be activated till the full game and the editor are released on the 24th, but there's a hell of a lot which works already 😉
MadHatter1234
I'm sorry if it's answered already. Just registered yesterday 🙂
Is it possible to play an Online Multiplayer save with this fix?
mons
I don't see why not 🙂
MadHatter1234
Thanks for the quick response 🙂
I was thinking because of the fixed Nationalteams. I guess all players need to play with the fix or is there something I don't understand?
mons
Yes, everybody should have the fix installed. But why wouldn't you? 🙂
MadHatter1234
True 🙂
I guess that's all I need to know. Thank you! 🙂
black__wh11te
Thanks for Work 🙂
mons
Zebra stadium will be fixed when the full game comes out. Juve U23 should be fixed in the download already.
Mizta05
What about the missing Ajax Amsterdam staff, will you include a fix for that as well? Seem to remember you did last year 🙂
mons
It wasn't last year, it was a fair few years back actually. If somebody is willing to create one and give me permission to include it in my download, then I would be more than happy to do so. I just don't have the time to do it myself though, regrettably.
tubzinho
Is there a fix for the Juventus backroom staff as well or is that something separate?
mons
It's part of this download and there's a screenshot in the main post with the correct staff. That particular fix needs to be in place before starting a new game, though.
tubzinho
Great thanks. Just tested and its fine on a new game. Thanks for the reply.
mrgood
Tnx
mons
File works if installed before starting a new game as per the screenshot in the main post, and as outlined one post above yours.
mrgood
Zebre is changed to Juventus and Champions league as well.
I am planning to start a new save when full game is released and I will check it.
Thanks again

Not heard of this issue, but it may well be a bug in the game. Is there any particular reason why you think it's this file which is causing it? Because I can't think how this file could affect it...
5005673
Thanks for your prompt reply. I reported it as a bug to SI Games, it might be an issue with the BETA version. Anyhow I have experienced similar issues with previous versions of FM (as FM20) and when you report it to SI Games their first question is always what add-ons you have added when starting save game and additional data files you are running. I'll keep you posted on their reply (if it is a known BETA bug or not).

I hope the Ajax staff will be added to the game. Would it be possible to use FM2020 profiles (attributes)? A lot of staff members still work at Ajax and in the same staff roles.
Staff who left compared to FM2020:
Richard Knopper (assistent manager, ADO Den Haag), Carlo L'Ami (retired), Tonny Bruins Slot (passed away), Pim van Dord (retired)
New compared to FM2020
Anton Scheutjens (Almere City) new goalkeepers coach 1st team
Bogarde (promoted), Reiziger and Poulsen are assistent coaches for the 1st team
Witschge trainer 1st team
Dave Vos assistent manager 2nd team
Perry Augustine performance coach 1st team
Contracts all up 1 year (2020>2021) and specifically:
Heitinga 2023
van der Gaag 2023
Overmars 2024
vd Sar 2023
Reiziger 2023
Bogarde 2023
Veldmate 2024
Witschge 2022
ten Hag 2022
Ouaali 2022
I don't know if there are more changes, but this is what I could find. I don't know about the U19 team, apart from Heitinga being the head coach and Peereboom being the assistent manager.
Can someone help me out?
mons
If you're willing to input them manually into an editor data file, I would be more than happy to lend a hand with some of the information. If you're interested, drop me a PM 😉

No.
