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, may not apply in the Beta, 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 2019 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 Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. 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 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.

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 instantly. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players are not in the official database and these will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.

rq7

Hello.
I have managed to install and download the names fixes but noticed that Zebre has not changed to Juventus and I don't fully understand the first post about how to fix this type of issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
mons
As per the thread title, this file is for FM19. As far as I'm aware, Juventus' licensing issue started in FM20, so it looks like you might well have downloaded the wrong year's licensing fix file…
James Gallagher
So you're right. Time to try and figure out how to fix it!
mons
Drop me a PM if you haven't sorted it 👍

Hi mate, a friend of mine has replaced his real name fix from another site with the sortitousi pack to match up files with me as we've had issues with the real name fix in online games but once he had replaced everything it has simply not worked as Juventus are called Zebre etc, he's on mac btw could there be a reason for this?
