Lazio's absence from EA Sports FC was a result of the club's partnership with Konami, the maker of eFootball, which prevented EA Sports from using the club's official name and branding. Since FIFA 22, the club has been represented by the fictional team Latium in the game. However, with the announcement of a new partnership between EA Sports and the Serie A, Lazio is set to return to the game under its own name and branding in EA Sports FC 27.
The return of Lazio is particularly exciting for Dutch gamers, as the club has a significant Dutch presence in its squad. Players such as Kenneth Taylor, Tijjani Noslin, and Danilho Doekhi are all part of the Lazio team, and fans will be able to play with them under their own club's name and branding once again. Gennaro Gattuso, a well-known figure in the football world, is also the current trainer of Lazio, having started his new role in Rome this summer.
Lazio's return to EA Sports FC marks a significant development in the game's licensing agreements, and fans can look forward to playing with the club's official team and branding once again. The exact date of Lazio's return to the game is not specified, but it is confirmed that the club will be available in EA Sports FC 27.
