Apart from that, EA Sports has become the main sponsor of the Italian Supercup as a part of the partnership. As a result, EA will start making content during Coppa Italia, Suppercoppa Italiana, and the Serie A championship matches.
While EA has secured the exclusive deal of 16 Serie A teams out of 20 teams, they won’t get the rest of the 4 teams’ licenses as Roma, Juventus, Atalanta, and Lazio signed exclusive deals with eFootball.
According to EA Sports’ press release,
EA SPORTS and Lega Serie A are entering into a multi-year agreement which allows for Serie A clubs to be authentically represented in-game, providing that the rights of those clubs are available and not currently contractually held exclusively by another party. EA SPORTS is respectful of pre-existing relationships that certain clubs have with third parties, but is equally committed to further growing its presence in Italian football both now and in the future.
