Subscribe to this thread (by following these steps) so you get notifications whenever a new version is released.

 

If you have any issues, first read the FAQ.

 

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 updates come out.

 

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.

 


 

The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2026 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These fixes are all fully save-game compatible.

 

Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file.

 

Once you download this file, you’ll see these folders after extracting the ZIP:

 

📁 dbc
📁 editor data
📁 edt
📁 lnc

 

STEP 1.

If you are playing an FM23 or FM24 save in FM26, then this fix needs to be also installed in the folders in the below image IN ADDITION TO THOSE INDICATED BELOW the image:

 


OPEN 

Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 26\shared\data\database\db\2600


DELETE only the dbc , edt and lnc folders
 

OPEN 

Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 26\shared\data\database\db\2620


DELETE only the dbc , edt and lnc folders

 

Notes: \Program Files (x86)\ could be \Program Files\ depending on your set up.

 

Equivalent folders for Mac users

Mac installation

 

OPEN 

/ Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / steamapps / common / Football Manager 26 / fm.app / Contents / Plugins / game_plugin.bundle / Contents / Resources / shared / data / database / db / 2600

DELETE only the dbc , edt and lnc folders

 

You have to click “show packaged contents” on the fm.app and game_plugin.bundle folders. This basically means that you need to right-click (or Control + click) on fm.app (or game_plugin.bundle) and choose Show Package Contents that lets you open up the folders inside the app icon.

 

Here’s how to do it on Mac:
1. Open Finder.
2. Press Command + Shift + G to bring up “Go to Folder.”
3. Copy and paste this path, then hit Enter:

 

~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/PlugIns/game_plugin.bundle/Contents/Resources/shared/data/database/db/2600

 

Once you’re in both the db/2600 and db/2620 folders, that’s where you drop the real name fix files and don’t forget to restart FM afterwards so the changes take effect.

This is an English-language forum, so please post in English. There's also no need to capitalise your post, we can read it perfectly well when typed properly.

 

The fix works fine my end. Make sure that the file is installed as guided in the main post, and that the folders on your PC correspond to those in the screenshots in the main post. If you think you've installed it correctly, please upload screenshots of the main folders 👍

Read again what screenshots (plural) I asked you to provide me. I can't find the potential issue if you don't.

I did all the steps before starting my save. When I started it, everything was fine, the German call-ups, the clubs name, the Brazilians clubs names, etc. Once I have updated to the last fix, Brazilian club names appear again with 3 capital letters. How is that possible?

In the last few days (Monday, I think), an official update was released. A new version of this fix was subsequently released, and needs to be applied again. It's always the case that this fix needs to be re-applied after a new official update is released, which may re-introduce files that are removed when installing this fix.

Hi guys!! In my current career, with the new update 19 Jan 2026 16:45:07, I can no longer get the club names to display correctly. In Portugal, I have BRG for Braga and VTSC for Guimaraes. Can someone help me, please?

 

Thanks guys for all your hard work!

I thought he was included in the default data already tbh. Isn't he?

Hmm I'm not able to find him anywhere in the game or in the editor actually. Maybe SI will put him in the database for the winter update, but I guess he won't show up as a staff member anyway because of the licensing thingy

Everything works besides the German national team. Its still filled with regens, instead of real players

a) the folders in this screenshot aren't exactly as those shown in the main post. Reinstall again, following all the steps carefully.

 

b) as per the FAQ, If you are in the middle of a save-game, national teams will only be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately. Just wait till the next call-up window.

i think i found the reason, it was a windows problem. For some reason when you copy and paste them into the folder it doesnt actually overwrite the folder. So (at lest for me) i had to delete the folders first then copy the others in.

That is precisely why the installation instructions explicitly specify that you should delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders…

If you have already started a save-game and wish to change German, Spanish, Italian and French club names to the correct ones, there is a workaround. However, you will lose the club nicknames.

 

Open the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file with Notepad (on Windows) and TextEdit (on Mac). All the changes I've made in the editor data file are included in this file, however they are preceded by a hashtag (#) which makes the lnc file ignore any text following it.

 

You can remove the hashtags from in front of any of the "CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" and "CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" codes which you wish to change, and this will ensure these changes are displayed in your save game.

 

For Notepad, all you need to do is: Select the edit menu, click the replace option, type #"CLUB in the first field and "CLUB in the second and click replace all. Then save and close. Shouldn't take more than 3 seconds if you do it right 🙂

 


Instead of


#"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern München" ""
#"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern" ""

 

you should have


"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern München" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern" ""


Basically:
Using an lnc
Pro: Can be used (and disabled) after a save game has been started
Con: Removes club nicknames for those teams whose name has been edited


Using the editor data file
Pro: Retains club nicknames
Con: Needs to be applied before starting a new game

 

Hello, Sorry, but this isn't working for me on Windows. It works for a new game but not for an existing one, despite the changes I've made and the removal of the # symbols. Any ideas on how I can get the correct names for an existing game?

 

I think i miss something.

 

sorry for my english ^^

I reinstalled everything and added the real name fix files, new savegame.

I just have the metallic logos and faces pack in the graphic folder.

  • Serie A logo is the only one that doesn't show for some reason (fixed by changing the name of the file)
  • Brazilian teams don't match ( no chapecoense)
