So no new additions to Leagues sadly and we seem to have lost the Czech and Turkish leagues possibly due to the recent match fixing scandal. We’re going to get confirmation from EA on this for you, but remember FIFA themselves have to rubber stamp FIFA 12 before it can be released so it’s likely this decision was taken out of EA’s hands. Or it could be as simple as a licensing issue, who knows.
That now leaves the Rest of World Line up looking like this.
AEK Athens
Boca Juniors
Galatasary SK*
Kaizer Chiefs
Olympiakos CFP
Orlando Pirates
Panathinaikos
PAOK
Racing Club*
River Plate
Classic XI
World XI
So Galatasary now live in the Rest Of The World section and there’s one addition in the form of Racing Club. Lastly we’ve got the International Team list:
Argentina
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brazil
Bulgaria
Cameroon
Chile *NEW*
Colombia *NEW*
Cote d’Ivoire *NEW*
Croatia
Denmark
Ecuador
Egypt *NEW*
England
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Korea Republic
Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Northern Ireland
Norway

China PR and the Czech Republic National sides disappear, but there are a few very welcome new additions too. So, that’s your lot with regards to Leagues and Teams in FIFA 12 this year and we’re certain that there will be some unhappy voices based on the removal of Turkish and the Czech Republic leagues respectively.
Thoughts…
