EA's FIFA 21 licensing announcement covered the presence of generic Brazilian domestic club players at launch, and their lack of presence in FUT, but ended with messaging that this could change: "We’ll update all FIFA 21 fans about player names when and if information becomes available".

What This Means for FIFA 21

Should FIFA 21 fully license the players across Ligo Do Brasil, this will be a huge step forward for the series.
