With the bigger features of FIFA 12 being common knowledge now, people are starting to look for finer details to keep them going up until launch. Over the next few days, we’ll be posting some of those details.
Starting with the League and Team list today, Stadiums tomorrow and then Trophies and Gameplay Sliders the following two days. Any new additions are marked with an * next to them.
Australia – A League
Austria – A Bundesliga
Belgium – Pro League
Brazil – Liga do Brasil
Denmark – Superliga
England – Barclays PL, Npower champ, Npower league 1, Npower league 2
France – Ligue 1, Ligue 2
Germany – Bundesliga, 2 Bundesliga
Italy – Serie A, Serie B
Korea Republic – Sonata K Legaue
Mexico – Primera Div Mex

Poland – Polska Liga
Portugal – Liga Portuguesa
Republic of Ireland – Irish League
Russia – Russian League
Scotland – SPL
Spain – Liga BBVA, Liga Adelante
Sweden – Allsvenskan
Switzerland – Axpo SL
United States – MLS
So no new additions to Leagues sadly and we seem to have lost the Czech and Turkish leagues with the latter being down to a change in the way the Turkish Football Federation handle licensing deals. Lots of links and further explanation in the comments.
That now leaves the Rest of World Line up looking like this.
AEK Athens
Boca Juniors
Galatasaray SK*
Kaizer Chiefs
Olympiakos CFP
Orlando Pirates
Panathinaikos
PAOK
Racing Club*
River Plate
Classic XI
World XI
So Galatasaray now live in the Rest Of The World section and there’s one addition in the form of Racing Club. Lastly we’ve got the International Team list:
Argentina
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brazil
Bulgaria
Cameroon
Chile *NEW*
Colombia *NEW*
Cote d’Ivoire *NEW*
Croatia
Denmark
Ecuador
Egypt *NEW*
England
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary

Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Northern Ireland
Norway
Peru *NEW*
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Russia
Scotland
Slovenia
South Africa

China PR and the Czech Republic National sides disappear, but there are a few very welcome new additions too. So, that’s your lot with regards to Leagues and Teams in FIFA 12 this year and we’re certain that there will be some unhappy voices based on the removal of Turkish and the Czech Republic leagues respectively.
Thoughts…
*Update* I’ve heard back from EA, this list is nailed on correct. Wikipedia is wrong, the Welsh league and US 2nd tier are NOT going to be in FIFA 12.
