Football Manager 2024: Who are Real San Sebastian?
In Football Manager 2024, Real San Sebastian are among the clubs in La Liga

In Football Manager 2023, Real San Sebastian are listed as a La Liga side that you can take charge of.
Given that Sports Interactive – the studio behind the game – don't have the rights to every club, some team names need to be altered as not to infringe on rights. In the past, Juventus have had an exclusivity deal with Pro Evolution Soccer (now eFootball), which meant that they had to be renamed as Zebre within the FM world. Manchester United are currently out of the game, too, listed as Manchester UFC from FM22 onwards.
Unfortunately, this means that often, you come across teams that you might not be aware of. There are a number in the game, such as Parthenope, Atletico Pamplona and Real Hispalis.

This is a similar FM club naming convention to Napoli, who have been named Parthenope in the game, thanks to a club nickname and the original name for the city of Naples.

“So we were already going to do it for the EFL this year. Then UEFA came along and we got a chance to do it for that. Because of the UEFA deal, we decided to revamp the cup draws in-game, too. We’ve got the music – you might as well use the music in more places!”
