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.

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:

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.

Ok, that is all fine. But I started the game after the download.

Then you haven't installed the files correctly. Make sure the dbc/permanent folder and the editor data folder (and the others too, naturally) are installed as per the screenshots in the main post, paying particular attention to the contents and to the path itself.
If you think they're right, please take screenshots of these 2 folders so that I can see what may be the matter.

I am new here fyi, so a complete newb to this. When I download the file I only download 2 docs - FM 21 fix and FM Club Names fix by FM Scout.
But following the instructions I should have - new dbc, edt and lnc folders from the downloaded pack to replace the old ones?
Any help would be appreciated?
Thank you
mons
If you want help with files from another site, best ask in there 😕
If you want to use the ones from this site, which are more thorough, comprehensive and frankly correct, then follow the instructions in the main post to install the files in the correct manner. You should first delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders, then put the ones from this download, essentially.
Carrick1636
Ahhh! Well you've just helped me figure out what I was doing wrong! I was looking at the wrong folder. Yours is the one I want to use as it looks the most comprehensive!
Told you I was new to this!
Thanks once again for your help.
Kind Regards,
Carrick
mons
No worries 🙂
Have a look at some of the other essential files available here for download to pimp up your game 😉
Carrick1636
Thanks once again! And I really appreciate the work you've done to help us enjoy the game that little bit more!
PS. Apologies for the stupidity earlier!

There are translations for a small number of competitions and awards, but it'll be in English I imagine, I've never played it in German. Why not give it a go and see if it works for you?

What's happening? In the team selection menu, you will see the default game kit on your first click to see details. After the second click, it appears as fixed. However, when I start the game, quit, and open again, it is back to the default kits.

is it possible to name the rounds of Champions League/Europa League/Conference League?
In German the first K.O.-Round after the group stage names "1. Ausscheidungsrunde"? Can I change this Name?
Greetings
mons
These are called stage names. The only way to change stage names is to do so using the pre-game editor.

I would like to ask you if possible, correct the name of a team from portugal
It is like Estrela da Amadora SAD, the correct name is "CF Estrela Amadora" or the full name which is "Club Football Estrela da Amadora, SAD"
ID 2000030636
Happy new year

Hi Mons,
Any idea on a timeline for the italian rivalries/derbies fix?
Best
mons
I actually checked over the holidays and didn't find a single thing different using the editor. The teams had the same rivalries set in the FM20 database and the FM21 one. Can you give a few examples of which teams have this issue, ideally with screenshots?
Franck
I had a look in the game when I first noticed it and it seems like every club that has a rivalry with "Zebre" is affected. Weirdly it seems like it doesn't just hide rivalries with Juventus, but it removes any rivalry sharing the same row. Inter seem completely bugged out and don't show any rivalries at all.

Here it is inter:
