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 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.

weird, i dont have any other file with these changes.

So would it be possible to use the version of the dbc, edt and lnc folders that I know worked, while also using the editor data files from the updated version?
mons
As I told you yesterday, all you need to do is to try the workaround in the very first post, and you'll be fine 👍
Womaz
I am not that good with files etc. If it goes wrong is it easy to put right . for eg would I just need to delete the game and reinstall it?
mons
There's no need to go as far as reinstalling the game, you can always verify the integrity of the game files through Steam if you've messed it up particularly spectacularly.
Really, all you need to do is make sure that the folders which have screenshots in the main post look exactly on your own PC. If you're not sure, just drop me a PM 😉

Maybe I'm an idiot (probably, true) but what do I do with the Touch version? Do I download the file or just edit the exciting folders with notepad? @mons
mons
The editor data files don't work with FMT. So if you want to change club names, you'll have to do the workaround in the first post.

I think I've just figured it out! Will let you know come 1st of December.

Is there a way to make this work with the newest operating system on a Mac, Big Sur?
The /dat folder in the installation guide is hidden, or changed to something else. I made a post with a screen shot a few days back here: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57069/updating-logosname-fixes-for-fm21-on-a-mac-running-big-sur
Thanks!
K3V0
EDIT: I've now spotted that it does indeed fix it.

Use the workaround in the first post to get club name changes in your save game 👍
I'm sorry but as I don't have that OS, I'm hamstrung in the help I can offer you.
Steps 1-3 go into the installation folder. If you can't find this, use Steam to help you. Check FM21's properties:
Then navigate to the local files tab and click the browse local files button.
It'll take you to the FM21 installation folder where you should be able to navigate to the data\database\db path according to the instructions in the main past.
For steps 4-5, the screenshot you posted seems to indicate that the files in the editor data folder within this download should go in there. Remember - the files should be directly in the editor data folder and not in sub-folders.
Click the button beneath the download text 😕
Certainly falls within the purview of this file so it'll be added in the next update if I can find out which of the current Argentina competitions in the editor it actually is right now 👍
Did you apply the file in the middle of a save game or before starting a career?
If this download is applied after starting a save game, then club name changes won't take effect, as clearly outlined in the main post. There's a workaround in the first post on how to get them to work in that case.

Just wondering, why does Portugal have a blue background color instead of red or green?
mons
There's a bug in the editor that any changes to entries in red are converted into blue, for some reason.
Seems like there may be a change to the Portuguese national kits in one of my files, or in another file you may be using. I'll try and see which one could contain it 👍

Need to remove Portugal Nation background and foreground colours.
ElMatador
Thank you! Just verified what you said and it looks like the issue is indeed there.
Will be changing it in my personal file until the "legit update" comes out.

Before starting a career
mons
Then you haven't installed the file properly. Check your edt/permanent and lnc folder and make sure they are exactly the same as the ones in the screenshot in the main post.

Some competition name changes, some club name changes and other similar very minor changes. You should really carry on with the existing save 👍
