But if you’re starting a career mode in Italy, you might be confused by the name Piemonte Calcio…Who are Piemonte Calcio?
The seemingly random team name are actually 36-time Serie A winners and Italian giants Juventus.
The name comes from Piedmont, the region with which Turin is in.
Meanwhile, Calcio is football in Italian.
Why are Juventus not in FIFA 22?
This is due to FIFA’s biggest rival Konami-created eFootball 2022 holding exclusive rights to the club for this year’s game.
This means FIFA 22 will not be able to have any of the club’s badge or stadium listed on their game.
But unlike Piemonte Calcio, the players’ names and faces will be the real ones, so the biggest stars will have their own likenesses.
All ratings for Career Mode and eligibility in Ultimate Team will remain the same as in previous years.
In the past, FIFA 22 have had to call the Champions League and Serie A by other names due to not having those rights.
