EA Sports FC 24: Two Iconic Football Stadiums Will Be Missing

EA Sports FC 24 will be released shortly as a replacement for FIFA 24. Unfortunately, the community will miss out on two of the most desired football stadiums in EA FC 24.

As EA unveils more and more details about their upcoming football simulation, EA Sports FC 24, excitement is mixed with letdown. While we've seen a host of confirmed new features and updates, a significant disappointment lurks.

The publisher has announced that EA FC will boast a total of 115 stadiums. Yet, two of the most stunning stadiums in the world of football will be absent once again.

EA Sports FC 24 Stadiums: Disappointment For Barça And Bayern Munich Fans

The iconic homes of FC Bayern and FC Barcelona will be conspicuously absent in their authentic forms in EA FC 24. The Allianz Arena has been off the roster since FIFA 19. With Bayern extending their partnership with Konami, the virtual Allianz Arena will exclusively grace eFootball (the rebranded Pro Evolution Soccer).

We had at least hoped for a comeback of the Camp Nou, but those dreams have been shattered. Despite the partnership between EA Sports and La Liga, we won't see the Camp Nou in EA FC 24. It's particularly galling given EA's announcement that all of La Liga's clubs, logos, graphics, fonts, and other visual elements are integrated into the game, complete with new in-game integrations and broadcast highlights.

A real highlight, EA, would have been the inclusion of the Camp Nou. Since FIFA 17, players have been denied the possibility to recreate authentic matches in the Barça temple. Unfortunately, EA was unable to secure the rights to Barcelona's sacred ground, with Konami swooping in. A missed opportunity, to say the least!
