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:
dbc:
dbc/permanent:
edt/permanent:
lnc:
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.

You can get to the Library folder by simply selecting Go from the top bar and holding "alt" key - The Library folder suddenly appears on the drop down
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.
For those struggling to find the Steam and Steam Apps folder etc using Mac with the new OS High Sierra, this link below shows how you can unhide your Library folder which will then let you find the other folders.

I deleted the original dbc , edt and lnc folders in there and replaced them too, is that okay or not?
By the way, good work.
mons
You can put them there to set your mind at ease, but they won't make any difference whatsoever 🙂

Does it include this?

vanh
only a fix
in "media" there are many items ("record not found"😉
mons
I haven't found which is the respective competition in the FM database. As far as I can tell, it's an ad hoc replacement for the league interrupted due to COVID.
mons
Is this in the editor or in-game?

I'll see what I can do.
Do you have an answer to my earlier question about the Maradona competition?

It's probably this one, regarding the structure I found here: https://www.flashscore.com/football/argentina/copa-diego-maradona/
I'm not that much into Argentinian football haha!

Everything changed lovely, except Juventus can not be found in Choose Team to Manage`s screen.
I am playing 21 Demo. (still considering buying it..) Hope this is not the reason Juventus is gone.
mons
fmf editors can only be opened with the editor. If you want to make the workaround described in the first post, it's the lnc files which are to be opened with Notepad.
Thanks for that @ottooo, I wasn't aware of that and I'll see what the right name is. Any input by any Spaniards around who can clarify this would be gratefully received.
mons
The 21 Demo is effectively a save game, so the editor data files in this fix don't work, so you'll need to use the workaround in the opening post to get the correct name.

1. The name of Juventus F.C is already shown as default in 2100>Inc>Ciy, Club and Stadium Names as CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 1139 "Juventus F.C." ""
CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1139 "Juventus" ""
already there.. But it is shown as Zebre in the game.
2.Beside`2100, should I ALSO delete the `#` in `2111`and `2111` of CLUB since there are 2 more`Ciy, Club and Stadium Names` files?
Thank you.
mons
Partially, but that's reminded me to prepare a new file for the release of FMT.
mons
Yes to point 2.
Not sure if 1 is a question 😕

Cheers!

I marked this one bold, since this one will have a name change again: FOX Sports (previously EredivisieLive) will be called ESPN in the Netherlands starting the 1st of January

Could u help me ?

If you're playing FM Touch, use this file.
It's the very first line in the main post 😕

Here's my issue:
The path - [Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2021\data\database\db\xxxx] - simply will not create itself. I've reinstalled FM, I've restarted my pc, I've fully closed steam, I've tried to manually create the folders, but it will not work.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm on pc using steam.
Thank you!
edit: I've tried making a new save, and I've had this fix working for previous FM's
