#507213 FM2020 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v2.3 for FM20.4.1 [released on 28/04/2020]
Ron Wandle
Yep, the mistake looks to be by SI, not with this file.
Thanks for making the file available!

I think I've worked out what's going on.
The twenty teams in Campeonato Brasileiro Série C are divided into two regional leagues of ten teams each, Group A and Group B. The game accurately has all twenty of these real life Série C teams, but does not put them in the correct real life groups - the game places three Group A teams in Group B, and vice versa.
The Wikipedia page on the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C has a helpful map of where the competing teams are located. I have highlighted the two regional leagues in the maps below, with Group A in red, and Group B in green. The map on the left shows the real life distribution of clubs, while the map on the right shows the distribution of clubs as appearing in the game.
It can be seen that, in real life, Group A encompasses the north-east of Brazil, with Group B encompassing the rest of the country, while, in the game, the division is on a more North-South basis.
I don't know my Brazilian leagues from my elbow, so it's not a big deal. At least it has a logic to it. I think that in Série B and upwards the league is unified again, anyway.

Looking in the lowest Brazilian league, the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, the teams featured are those from the 2018 season (14 April to 22 September 2018), not the 2019 season in which FM 2020 starts.
What's going on here? Is this Sports Interactive not updating the current teams, or the Licensing and Real Name Fix applying the wrong names to them?
#507121 FM2019 Real Names and German National Team Fix File for FM19 v3.0 [released 01/03/2019]
Ron Wandle
I'm applying these changes to FM 2020 Touch.
For modifying the "City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc" file in Notepad, is this this to be done to all three "City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc" files, i.e. the file of that name in each of the 2000, 2001 and 2010 folders?
Thanks in advance.
