The likes of Anfield, Old Trafford, the Santiago Bernabeu and more will all appear in the game but two that won't are the home grounds of Bayern Munich (Allianz Arena) and Barcelona (Spotify Camp Nou).
Both clubs have exclusive deals with EA's rivals Konami for their own game eFootball game - formerly known as PES and as part of it, they have the exclusive rights to use the grounds in their game only.
Instead of their own official ground, Bayern and Barça will play in one of the generic stadiums included in the EA FC game. Their kits, badge and players for both teams will still be fully licensed though.
