Juventus will not be officially licensed in FIFA 20 after the Italian champions signed an exclusive deal with Pro Evolution Soccer.
As a result, Juventus are known as Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20 and have been called Zebre in Football Manager 2020. Zebre is the Italian word for 'zebra' and reflects their traditional striped.
- Juventus will be completely edited making it completely real and with all the licenses, and not only, even more. Is it possible to create classic kits for FIFA 20.
- I think you mean 'The Home and Away kits of Piemonte Calcio on FIFA 20'. Thanks for posting BTW!!
The agreement with Konami and eFootball PES 2020 means that the latest edition of the Pro Evo series will be the only game to feature a full licensed version of the Serie A side.

Juventus’ kits, team name or stadium will not be included in the next instalment of the FIFA franchise because of the deal.
EA Sports confirmed that Juventus will be known as Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20 and future FIFA Mobile Seasons.
They will feature a custom badge and kit, though the players will be authentic and will continue to have their live ratings updated based on their real-world performances.
PES will also be getting exclusive access to the Juventus players to recreate their likeness as best as possible.
