Roma isn't in FIFA due to a licensing agreement Roma signed with Konami, the makers of Pro Evolution Soccer (now rebranded as eFootball). This exclusive partnership means Roma's name, logo, and stadium are not featured in the FIFA series under their real-life counterparts. Consequently, in FIFA games, the club appears under a different name (Roma FC), and the stadium is fictionalized, to comply with licensing agreements.
