Piemonte Calcio is not a real football team; it's a fictional name used in EA Sports’ FIFA video game series for Juventus Football Club. This change was made starting with FIFA 20 due to licensing issues, as Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer (now eFootball) secured exclusive rights to Juventus’ name, crest, and kit. Despite the name change, Piemonte Calcio faithfully represents Juventus’ strong roster and is fully playable in the game with updated player likenesses and jerseys, just under a different team name.
