#858291 FM26 Real Name Fix v5.0 - for FM26.3.1 [26/05/2026] - USE THE WORKAROUND IN THE FIRST POST IF SOME CLUB NAME CHANGES AREN'T WORKING
Massimo Di Chirico
Thank you so much for this fix, I was getting annoyed to play Serie A with fake team names. However I found a few teams that don't get a name fix, they actually change their name that would be correct without the inc file.
For example Napoli without the real name fix is correctly called Napoli, but as soon as I extract the files it becomes Parthenope.
Same with:
Real Betis → Real Hispalis
Real Sociedad → Real San Sebastian
Deportivo Alaves → Alaves
Osasuna → Atletico Pamplona
Rayo Vallecano → Vallecano
Celta Vigo → Celta
Real Valladolid → Valladolid
It is weird because in the inc file they are actually called correctly, but then when I load my save the names are not written as in the file.
I did the workaround and fixed all of them removing the # (in some cases I added the short name and 3 letters cause they were missing) and fixed the issue. I didn't try it on a new save, so I can't tell if it's only an existing save bug.
By the way great effort, despite this very small issue I'm very happy with the fix.
