New FIFA 20 Stadiums Revealed Including Champions League Venue Ataturk Olympic Stadium
Ahead of FIFA 20’s release, EA has revealed a full list of all the stadiums that will be featured in this year’s title. There are many fan favorites on the list, and a few that are missing. However, EA has also drawn attention to three new FIFA 20 stadiums, with images shown of each specific venue. That will include the famous Ataturk Olympic Stadium, among others making their way into this year’s game.
FIFA 20 Stadiums revealed for upcoming game
Part of what helps with EA’s line of sports titles is the authentic venues in which the games are held. There will be plenty of FIFA 20 stadiums in the upcoming title, representing the various leagues from around the globe. It’s an extensive list, and EA has also added a few options to the list including the home of this year’s 2020 UEFA Champions League Final.
Turkey’s Ataturk Olympiat Stadi will be part of the game, giving gamers that authentic Champions League Final location to play in. By the way, the free FIFA 20 demo includes the option to try Champions League ahead of the game’s release. Here’s a look at the screenshot for the virtual venue located in Istanbul which has been around for a few decades and can hold over 76,000 spectators.
Major League Soccer has representation too, as there will be five different FIFA 20 stadiums available. That includes BC Place Stadium, CenturyLink Field, Dignity Health Sports Park, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. A new available venue is the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, home of the MLS’ Red Bulls. It opened in 2010 and holds 25,000 fans inside.
Bramall Lane is the other venue for the new FIFA 20 stadiums. That’s the home of the Premier League’s Sheffield United club. It’s been standing since 1855 and has a capacity of over 32,000. Here’s a look at the historic home of the Blades from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England in all its glory.
A number of venues absent from EA’s game
Despite an extensive list of venues among the FIFA 20 stadiums this year, there are two major ones missing. Barcelona and Juventus’ official stadiums are both absent from the new EA game. The teams and players will appear, although Juventus is Piemonte Calcio now. That’s due to licensing/partnership deals the teams have in place with Konami who makes the competing Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 (PES) video game.
There are also stadiums absent from the FIFA 20 game that the community is begging for EA to include. Estadio da Luz, Estadio do Dragao, Elland Road, and the New England Revolution’s MLS stadium are just some of the popular suggestions from the gaming community.
However, there are a plethora of choices available for this year’s game including generic locations. In addition, there are a number of VOLTA Football outdoor playgrounds for that new mode of the game.

The new FIFA 20 game arrives on September 27, 2019, with early access three days later for select pre-order editions. The title will be available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PCs.
