Latest on FIFA 13
It was supposed to be Iran league , Iran was leading for long time in the voting page , I don’t know what happened suddenly Saudi Arabia become a competitor …. don’t you look at Fifa’s realities ranking chart! Iran and Saudi Arabia were equal in the voting … plus you can look at both team results in the world cup and anywhere else? are you guys Ok ??? or just racist? or maybe somebody spend lots of money to bring Saudi Arabia’s national team into the Fifa ….
What a bout the EGyptian LEague especially AL-AHLY Club as this is the best team in EGypt & Africa
They added the saudi leage becuse of its high demands. If you look at the profits Fifa 10,11, and 12 ganed from the middle east (or just saudi arabia alone) you would notice that there are high damands than most country in the world, and EA FIFA is looking for the money.
At least they Could add some of the famous clubs to the rest of the world. clubs like : shakhtar, dinamo kiev, metallist, cluj, Hjk, APOEL, perspolis, shanghai shenhua, partizan & …
I think they should at least put the african & asian CL winners in Rest of the world
The simple fix for being able to play any league on FIFA13 would be for the game to be released as is but make other leagues that aren’t included out of the box available as downloadable content as long as EA was able to get licensing to do so from those leagues. Knowing how long it takes to put all the league information together and develop the teams, EA could make a “grace” period for downloading, say 2 weeks to a month to give them time to make the additions.
For all the people complaining about this league or national team not being in the game, did you stop to think that maybe EA couldn’t get licensing for said leagues or they wanted way more money then what EA projected demand for that league to be? I mean why spend large sums of money for a league that maybe 1% of the playing audience would actually use? You can’t just use whatever league/team/player you want without getting actual licensing for it.
It’s a competition btw football game companies.so to win over the middle east is to give them what they want,it’s simple like that!
More fans,more money.(done)
Great add, although it is not a strong league in the world it has a few strong clubs, and with the arrival of big-name players in recent years it has come up to a higher level, worthy of FIFA.
But still, the fact that FIFA does not add clubs that are present every year in major competitions, such as top South American teams (excepting Brazilian clubs), Japanese teams, and specially Eastern European clubs, is not logical. As a Romanian I’m disappointed not to see clubs from my country that make it in the group stage of the CL or EL year by year not be present in FIFA… and I’m sure I’m speaking for each and every one of fans of FIFA coming from countries with strong football clubs not recognized by the FIFA games.
They should include more african leagues like egyptian and south african league. also they should include african champions league and copa libertadores along with the argentinian, ukranian, japanese, greek, romania, and iranian leagues. they all have great players and potential. It would be hard but I think fifa could pull it off.
Guys stop argue The worst Leagues in fifa are Irish and Australian with 1 or Half star Teams i would really Appreciate if they replaced Irish and Australian with Ukranian and Greek and Add back Czech and Turkish and at least add in Rest of world APOEL Bate Borisov Persepolis CFR Cluj and of course HJK don’t get mad about saudi league it’s nice and there are so many good Saudi players in fifa 😉
You’re so wrong.
It’s so boring playing always with the same and famous world teams like Real, Barça, Inter, Man Utd, etc.
Leagues like the australian one, irish, saudi, etc. are so important because let you know the football world at 360 degrees.
So, i hope EA brings leagues and teams like these.
Argentian league is the only big league in the world that is still out.
Now, i expect that EA adds leagues (or just teams) like ukranian (where are Dinamo Kiev and Shakhtar?), chinese (it will show its validity in a few years, becoming the top league in the East), greek, serbian (where are Partizan and Red Star?), etc. and expands ROW section.
Indonesia might be good!
WELL,, ITS A GOOD DESICION
PEOPLE IN KSA WAITED FOR THIS ANNONCMENT FOR LONG TIME
SAUDIAN CLUBS ARE THE BEST IN THE MIDDLE EAST
FOR THAT THE LEAGUE IS THE BEST AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CLUBS TO CHALLANGE LIKE :
1- AL-HILAL
2- AL-SHABAB
3- AL-AHLI
4- AL-ITTIHAD
5- AL-NASSR
6- AL-ITTIFAQ
SIX CLUBS TO CHALLANGE , BUT IF WE SEE OTHER AFRICAN LEAGUES WE WILL SEE 2 OR 3 CLUBS TO MAKE THE CHALLANGE STRONGER
EGYPTIAN LEAGUE IS ONLY AL-AHLI WHO WINS THE COMPETITION EVERY SINGLE YEAR FOR MORE THAN 12 YEARS
MORROCAN LEAGUE IS SO WEAK AND NOT THAT FAME LIKE SAUDIAN
SAME THING FOR ALL ARABIAN LEAGUES
ALL MIDDLE EAST WATCH SAUDIAN LEAGUE
THANKS FIFA FOR GIVING US THE CHANCE TO PLAY THE STRONGEST LEAGUE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
you kidding me right? what about persian gulf league? 18 great teame included esteghlal perspolis sepahan zobahan saipa and better than every team in the middle east sanat naft abadan.
they should put our league in fifa 13.
dont make fool at yourself, no one watch saudi league.your spectators arent even half of ours.
At least must put Persepolis F.C. & Esteghlal F.C. in Fifa 13.
The Tehran derby known locally as the derby Tehran is a football local derby match that takes place twice a year between the two most popular clubs in Iran: Esteghlal F.C. and Persepolis F.C. This match was declared as the most important derby in Asia and 22nd most important derby in the world in June 2008 by World Soccer magazine. Despite being a derby between two teams from Tehran, the match has been played in other Iranian cities as well.
Saudi Arabia Premier :)) , Bullsh*t !
Saudi Professional League is deserve to be in Fifa 13 as the quality of this league is extraordinary and Awsum such as Al Iittihad, Al Hillal, Al Shabab, Al Ahli moreove Saudi clubs have achieved alot in Champions League and in 2012 Asian champions League 3 clubs have reached the last 8 with an tremendous high class performance moreover comparing african clubs are two weak only one leage might be deserve to be in fifa that Egyptain League they are they are good compared to other weak leagues in Africa
To make everyone happy EA should release dev tools to allow the community to add peer-reviewed leagues and players. It would make the game last a lot longer.
FIFA AND EA should put every team from the world (as nation teams and club teams). From North America ,South America ,Africa ,Asia, Europe, And Oceania. All leagues and cups etc should be in. I understand its hard to put all but it would be good.
and if they did that the cost of the game would go up a ton due to licensing costs…
Jupilerleague holland isn’t in fifa 13
I think I speak for all fifaLADS when I say, we need the Turkish, Chinese, Czech, Ukrainian, Argentinian, Saudi, Qatari, Dutch First Division, Cypriot, Israeli leagues and BATE Borisov in the Rest of World division. We need a proper Classic XI and World XI with the actual best players. Also, the fact that New Zealand are among the list of international teams ahead of the likes of the Ukraine, Ghana, Senegal, Zambia, Japan, Nigeria, Wales among other nations is deplorable.
I agree with you, FifaLAD, 100%. It’s ridiculous that leagues like the Ukranian will still be missing. Also, if Fifa wants to be the top 1 game, they need to put more south american clubs so we can play Libertadores da America. Also, more african national teams, for christ sake!
how bout bosnia
hi guy leagues for me argentina greek ukrian romania cuypric and my final league is serbia good players thos leagues should be added and japan malaysia thaliand iran league is well for the amercica league we need honduras costa rica panama trinidad and tobago thats the leagues ea need to add injoy fifa 13 everyone (>:
The Indian National team should be in FIFA 13 because, they won the Nehru cup in 2007 and 2009 and have won the two games they have played in the cup so far this year. India also won the AFC Challenge cup in 2008 and made the quarter finals in 2006. India has been the Runner-Up in the AFC Asian Cup In the South Asian Football Federation Cup India has won 6 times in, 1993, 1997, 1999, 2005, 2009, and last year in 2011, in the same tournament they have been the Runner-Up twice, in 1995, and 2008, as for third place finishes India has one in 2003. They have never not placed in the top three in the South Asian Football Federation Cup and their record has been 27-7-5 outscoring opponents 69 to 22. Look it up on Wikipedia if you don’t believe me.
Thank You for your time and consideration.

Information stealer have they ever gone to the group for any of the world cup.
Nope Saudi did that’s why they f***ing added it shall I bet on something I bet india is never ever gonna gonna be in they group stage
they are but i dont think they deserved it… i saw the official list on ea’s website… if u put india, put nepal… haha
How about you stop putting s***ty leagues in the game and actually put something GOOD!you gotta be fu**ing kidding me!Saudi Arabia clubs are good in SAUDI ARABIA,they should put African clubs too they are one of the best clubs like Egypt/Tunisia/Algeria/Morocco,seriously..
people in turkey really wants turkish league we have so many good teams fenerbahce and galatasaray ara goıng to joın champions league trabzonspor bursaspor and besıktas also joın european league and we have so many great players ın our league for example moussa sow ricardo quaresma felıpe melo muslera milos krasic dirk kuyt hugo almeida lots of them as a result turkish league must be in fifa 13 WE WANT TURKİSH LEAGUE!!!!!
I think the Turkish league wasnt in fifa 12 because of the match fixing. So they might have put it back in.
Great decision to add Saudi League, a lot of famous intl. players are playing in it and Saudi clubs are investing more & more to buy players. I live here in Saudi Arabia and finally I’ll be able to play my fav. club ‘Al Ittihad’ in fav. game FIFA (part 13)… Thanks EA & FIFA …
It would be grat to have a Finnish league in FIFA. There are some good teams like HJK and Inter
WE WANT TURKISH LEAGUEEEEE
turkish is in fifa 13
I think they shoul add more leagues like the Ukrainean, Romanian, Turkish, Argentinian, Greek championships. FIFA should develop and extend it`s database so people around the world to be satisfied and to have many choices of leagues to play.
please don’t say we don’t supports our teams in saudi arabia
all the arabic people have a club in saudi arabia they support it
if u don’t believe me
go whatch the matchs in saudi league
all the fans come to watch the game
and this is a wep that prove what i’m saying
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ8GPibaIL4
more then 75,000,000 people and u say we don’t support
sorry don’t talk about something u don’t know
instead of putting leagues nobody follows in fifa how about putting the 2nd division of every european league in fifa and why is england so special to have 4 leagues
because our 3rd an 4th tier is probably the best 3rd and 4th tier in the world
do you understand the concept of licensing? fifa had to work pretty hard just to get the licensing for the saudi league. some leagues wont give fifa the licensing at all or demand exorbitant amounts for it. england is “so special” because the npower leagues cost next to nothing to get and why not put in as much authentic material as you can, especially for career mode.
oh and btw the saudi league is a very followed league
Its true about some african leagues. Their standard is much higher than saudi. Did they pay ea to include it or something
noo they should bring in the colombian league yeah have great potencial and in colombia everyone loves fifa SANTA FE
WHO CARE? How many non-european league out there or in fifa? It’s better than adding more european leagues…
And the strength of the national team is less important because not all can be SPAIN.
Good saudi league in fifa13 all.people in ksa. Wait. Fifa 13. Its. Very. Good
i bet that if it was anything other than the saudi league you all would have accepted it. im not saying saudi teams are the best but ittihad deserves to be there atleast under “rest of the world” title
We want southamerican leagues, like the argentinian or chilean leagues
iranian league?
Iranians need to understand thet they are not good at soccer. Even morocco beat them with their B’ Team lol. just stop it.
I guess you are probably American that you are calling it soccer. If that is the case, you should know better than anyone that Iran beat the USA in world cup 98. And when did that happen? Morocco beating us with their ‘B’ team? If such thing ever happened, I’m sure you can back it up with some evidence. Iran beat Russia in a friendly just a few months ago and the are one of the power houses in Asian football. If you did not know that which I’m sure you do, do a bit of research. If you are a real football fan then you would know Iranian league is a far better league than Saudi Arabia’s. If you knew anything about football and the country you were from had a real name in football then you probably wouldn’t be such an ignorant hater and agree that this new league featuring in Fifa is just a way for the producers to get a fantastic amount of money from Arabs.
very good
Thank you
i agree with you in the last point
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_national_football_team_matches_results
Please do your homework before being an idiot. Iran has only played Morocco once in 2002, and the game finished 2-2. Iran has only lost three games since mid-2010 (once to Brazil, South Korea, and an unlucky 1-0 loss to a completely controlled and lucky Albania team). Iran is one of the top four teams in Asia, alongside South Korea, Australia, and Japan and is predicted my most to make it to Brazil in 2014. What crap country do you support. Let me guess, you are a huge Spain/Argentina fan even though you are from Guam or some crappy country with no sports. When you can make an educated comment about the real Iranian team, and don’t just make up game results that didn’t happen, then we will talk. Look at the Iranian team record at the link above and educate yourself.
Morocco never beat Iran so STFU !
irans highest ranking ever has been 15 which is not bad at all. my best friend is iranian and he told me that the iranian league is better than the saudi league. I watched some iranian league matches with him and my God are they crazy about football. Persepolis vs esteghlal was a great match. They’ve just put saudi league for the money. By the way im a omani-american and im backing the iranians not saudis!!!!!!!!!!!
yes i agree with you it,s just for money…
they should cuz Persepolis and Taj are a fierce rivalry. Just like roma and lazio
They should at least put some of the bigger teams in rest of the world like Persepolis Fc, Esteghal, and Sepahan or just put the iranian national team in.
ok it’s nice to see new leagues in the game we all love, but what about at least having one or two top african leagues. There some leagues in Africa just as good as the Saudi or better. EA there’s people in Africa who play FIFA as well. For FIFA 14 it would be good to play at least one african league.
tell me what leagues are better then suadi league in africa!
nice comment
