Instead, they will go under the guise ‘Zebre’, which refers to the Old Lady’s black-and-white stripes.
Juve are referred to in the latest version of FIFA as ‘Piemonte Calcio’, named after the region they are based in.
However, like the EA Sports title, Sports Interactive will be allowed to use Maurizio Sarri’s squad as normal.
Konami’s deal with the Scudetto holders this season mean they will only appear as Juventus on Pro Evolution Soccer.
