Why isn't Barcelona stadium Camp Nou on FIFA 20?

One of football's most iconic grounds will not be a playable venue in the forthcoming release - and it's set to be sometime before that changes.

Fans of FIFA 2020 and particularly Barcelona supporters are set to be left disappointed this year with the omission of Camp Nou as a playable stadium in the game.

As the September 27 release date of the game nears, the excitement over the new title is building, but the absence of the iconic venue is just one notable absence from the game.

Camp Nou has not appeared on any FIFA title since 2016, when Konami signed a three-year deal with the Catalan club that granted them exclusive rights to the ground.

In last year’s release, it was the only top-flight ground in Spain that was not included on the EA title.

The bad news for Barca fans of FIFA is that Camp Nou will not be able to return to FIFA until 2024 under the current agreement that the club hold with Konami.

It confirmed in June that they have an ongoing association for another four years.

While the final list of new grounds to appear in the game is not expected until September 11, there have already been confirmation of several new stadiums.
