New FIFA 21 Update Adds New CONMEBOL Teams

A new FIFA 21 title update has been dropped by EA Sports earlier today updating Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana for the 2021 campaign with new competition structures for Career Mode. Moreover, all the clubs qualified for the group stages of both competitions this season are now available in-game. Of course the squad kits and rosters have been updated as well via a Squads Update released yesterday night.

Although not related to CONMEBOL competitions, Leeds United fans can now play on Elland Road in Career Mode after EA finally addressed this problem that was bugging many players since the stadium’s introduction in-game earlier this year.

The update is already available on PC and will soon be available on other consoles early next week. Here’s the full patch changelog:

General, Audio, and Video

Made the following changes:

• Updated CONMEBOL competitions.
  • Updated CONMEBOL Libertadores seeding in Career Mode and Tournaments.
  • Updated CONMEBOL Libertadores and Sudamericana competition structure for Career Mode.
  • Added clubs who qualified for the 2021 CONMEBOL Libertadores and Sudamericana group stages where appropriate and updated rosters for existing clubs.
• Updated some player portraits, kits, badges, ad boards, broadcast and presentation packages, and interview backdrops.
• Addressed further instances of balls not displaying shadows during a match.
• New boots and gloves
• New custom faces for Nicolò Barella (Inter Milan), Emmanuel Rivière (FC Crotone) and Kiyan Prince.

The 2021 Copa #Libertadores & Copa #Sudamericana will kick off next week and EA Sports will most probably release a DLC update that will include all the 16 new clubs that qualified for the group stages! 🏆
