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:

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.

There is a bug in this year's editor that any amendments in the red and blue colour fields are swapped around, which means that the colours for these competitions went all over the place. Here's the amended file, which will be included in an upcoming pre-Christmas updated release of this file 👍

Yes, don't touch that. It's why it's not included in the installation instructions.

Yes, it could be shortened to Wolfsberg, but there is already another club.

This file does not include logos - you can download any of our excellent logo packs 🙂

Version 21.2 just got released!
Merry Christmas!
Grant.
P.S. I'm still confused about the folder 2110. I placed the new files in here (there was no 2110_fm folder) anyway.
mons
It includes the new Napoli stadium name, as well as the myriad other suggestions put forward in the past couple of weeks 👍
Thanks for the heads-up; I was busy elsewhere and hadn't noticed.
I don't get the confusion about the 2110 folder. It's a dummy folder, it serves no purpose and having this fix in there makes no difference whatsoever. If it makes you feel better to have the files there, do so but it won't make a blind bit of difference 😉

"Fix for B teams incorrectly appearing in the Italian Cup"
Hopefully the identified issue with Juve U23 entering the Coppa Italia after starting a new game is no longer present @wicksyFM @Cizzu

RazorBalade
Can't thank you enough for all the work you put into making our FM experience better!!
Keep up the awesome work! Happy Holidays guys!!
mons
Some of the changes would need you to start a save game, but none of them are so important that you must start a new career 😉 Carry on with your save 👍
Thanks @RazorBalade, same to you and to all the members of the community. Celebrate this period and stay safe, one and all 👍
Bananinha Martins
Have some well deserved rest and family time man, you deserve it all for the continuous effort over the years! 🙂

mons
No, I don't really have the time to compile one 😉
If you really must know what's been changed, have a look at the posts made in this thread since the last version was released and you'll have a rough idea 👍

wicksyFM
Its looking all good to me Mons. Good Work
Nero_4_ever
The game have just been updated automatic through steam. Did I have to do anything regarding the add-ons (real name fix/logos etc.) or there is no change in my existing save?
mons
The second line from the main post says:
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.
That should answer your query.
And, to pre-empt your follow-up question, some of the changes in this download would need you to start a save game, but none of them are so important that you must start a new career 😉 Carry on with your save 👍
Stato_M
mons
I haven't said anywhere that there is or should be an extra folder, have I? 😉
The folder structure remains the same, but some of the files removed when installing this fix have resurfaced. Re-download and re-install these files and carry on with your save 👍
Stato_M
mons
I'd have mentioned it, rest assured 😉

mons
More specifically, delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders in your 2111 folder and put the folders from the download there instead.
johnlennon696
Ah just back into that one folder then?
mons
As per the installation instructions, yeah.
