After the Brazilian and Mexican leagues, reliable leaks have now revealed that the Chilean league is also coming to FC 26! The Campeonato Itau is returning to the EA FC franchise, and all teams are expected to be fully licensed.
This marks the return of one of the biggest football leagues in South America after seven long years, as the Campeonato Itau was last featured in FIFA 18.
Campeonato Itau is coming back in FC 26!
The Campeonato Itau is part of the "big three" coming to FC 26, together with the Brasileirão Série A and Liga MX. Similar to the other two, EA Sports is negotiating with teams to acquire their exclusive image rights.
To get the Campeonato Itau back in the EA FC franchise and fully licensed, EA Sports had to negotiate with the League and the clubs separately. The league for the rights to use the name, logo, and trophy of the Campeonato Itau, and the clubs for their logo, stadium, fans, chants, and much more.
According to multiple sources, the negotiation with the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional, the entity that organizes the Campeonato Itau, is pretty much done.
When it comes to the clubs, sources say Colo-Colo, Universidad de Chile, and Universidad Católica are still negotiating with EA Sports. Colo-Colo's contract with KONAMI is coming to an end soon, and it seems the Chilean giants are keen on returning to EA FC.
