In conjunction with this announcement, a new logo for Football Manager was unveiled, timed with the release of the new edition of the simulation this fall.<\/p>\n<p>The first release of Football Manager, as we currently recognize it, took place in 2005. Before this, it was known as Championship Manager, which began in 1992. The games are developed by Sports Interactive and published by <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/sega-announces-layoffs-and-sale-of-relic-entertainment\/\">SEGA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"Official Premier League Licence coming to Football Manager\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rircYvbkhk0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>Why Football Manager and English Premier League have joined forces<\/h2>\n<p>Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive, said: \u201cSince Football Manager\u2019s inception, we have always wanted to work with the Premier League, and we\u2019re delighted to announce that at last we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacobson elaborated on the benefits of this partnership, stating, \u201cThe partnership isn\u2019t just about the huge in-game benefits it\u2019ll give our fans, but also the opportunities it provides us to help with the incredible things that the Premier League and their clubs do off the pitch. That includes community and charitable work, two things we\u2019re enormously passionate about, as well as the ability to work with some of their existing partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, acknowledging the contributions of others: \u201cWe are very grateful to the Premier League and their other partners in our space for allowing us to be an officially licensed product of the world\u2019s most commercially successful football league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nivine Emeran, Director of Licensing at SEGA West, also commented on the partnership: \u201cAfter much anticipation, it\u2019s thrilling to partner with the Premier League and welcome them to Football Manager and our licensing family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the big deal? Well, the game will now include official badges, player likenesses, and club kits in Football Manager, removing the need for players to unofficially modify the game on their own (as some have previously done). The league license is also a badge of honor for Sports Interactive and Sega as much as players who have kept faith with the PC sports simulation over the past two decades.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We&#8217;re delighted to announce a multi-year partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PremierLeague<\/a> \ud83e\udd1d<\/p>\n<p>Future editions of FM will now see all 20 teams fully licensed, across all our titles, unlocking a place to create iconic Premier League moments of your own.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Football Manager (@FootballManager) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FootballManager\/status\/1800143374533444024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Football Manager wrote in a post on X: \u201cFuture editions of FM will now see all 20 teams fully licensed, across all our titles, unlocking a place to create iconic Premier League moments of your own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: Sports Interactive \/ Premier League \/ Canva<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/football-manager-premier-league-license-new-logo\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Football Manager has finally secured a license for the English Premier League, a moment that devoted fans of the 20-year-old sports management simulation have<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":230719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230718"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
