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:

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.

Hello.Is FM2021 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v4.0 compatible with other .fmf files in football manager 2021? Can I use this nofake at the same time as AroundTheGlobe Megapack,Award Overhaul v1.2,Derbies Overhaul v1.1,Language Overhaul v1.0,Media Overhaul v0.4,Realistic Weather v1.1, Real Agency? The latter are .fmf files to be placed in the data editor folder along with the files of this nofake.Can I?
mons
I don't see why not, in fact I use some of those myself too with no issues.
Shark104
Ok mons.Thanks a lot!

Hello I have a small question
With this pack we have lnc files and fmf files
If I modify some club names directly in the lnc file,does it modify at the same time with the same changes the fmf file “club name changes” ?
In other words, are we 100% sure that the changes that I make in the lnc file will be taken into account in the game? Indeed I changed several French club names in the lnc file and I don't want the fmf file to mess that up
Thanks
mons
Changes in the fmf file will take precedence over any changes to the same field using the lnc file, if the fmf file was in place when the save game was started.
So if you used an fmf file to change Manchester United's name to Manchester Reds, editing the lnc file for that entry will nonetheless see the club name displayed as Manchester Reds.
junifan
Ok thanks 🙂
and if two fmf files have modified the same item, how does the game “choose” what to display ? does the most recent file “win” ?
mons
You can change different fields of the same item in different files.
e.g. You can make Messi 6 foot in one editor data file, and change his nationality to Maltese in another one, and both changes will appear if you start a save with both files loaded.
But if you make him 6 foot in one file, and 6 foot 5 inches in another one, the game will choose the changes in the file which is first in alphabetical order, since it's the same field which is being edited.
e.g. 6'5_foot_Messi will be chosen over Messi_6_foot.fmf as it's first in alphabetical order. I'm not entirely sure of this, it might be the last one, but that's how it works, anyway.

Should the long name be renamed too? It's currently:

I'll leave these in cases they're still used in player achievements and/or club histories.

Can you or @shadowrun provide me with some kind of evidence as it seems you're both stating different to each other?
@aldojared is correct. I overlooked the Mexican football competition names, I apologise for any inconvenience I have caused.

Something i noticed on carabao cup in England the rounds are sometimes in french
example 4th round is
quatrième tourmons
I believe that is related to an external file. If memory serves, Timo's French league file expanded one of the French knockout competitions which necessitated the adding of a couple of rounds and the editing of a couple of existing stage names, which he did in French, and which meant that the existing stage name in different competitions is displayed in French. I don't believe there's a way this can be rectified, or at least not as far as I'm aware.
Leeds1919
Thanks Mons, I don’t use timo files
mons
Then I've got my files mixed up, but it's definitely not due to the files in this download, simply because I don't edit stage names. Perhaps it's another file with French competition edits then. I came across it a long time ago and can't remember exactly which file it was now, sorry.
Leeds1919
Not the end of the world mate
its only the carabao cup from 4th round, as Leeds I don’t usually reach it anyway
mons
If you give me a screenshot of your editor data folder, I may spot whichever it was so that it can be edited/removed for future saves.
Leeds1919
Will take a look

could it be france extended league structure? ED 2
if anything else looks odd let me know-i dont get any clashes or conflicts running all leagues
