EA had the Gdansk stadium for a dlc in 12 and then never used it again. We have Donetsk stadium which hasn't been used in years and Sanderson stadium is said to be Poznan. So we should also have Kiev stadium and national stadium of Warsaw and Wroclaw if EA weren't completely EA. They've also failed to be able to use stadiums from WC games aside from Spartak. (Big props for losing both the Brazilian and Russian Leagues right after those world cups EA!) Remember we only have Lyon because of Women's World Cup and no other European stadium has come outside of League deals with Germany, Spain and England. PES shows it is possible to deal with clubs and get good stadiums but EA isn't capable of this.
Personally next year I would prefer France over Italy because their stadiums are much much nicer and newer. Who knows. I am American and I hate MLS but they are probably easier for EA to deal with and EA"s marketing team seems to care more about American market that smaller European clubs. They still don't have a good grasp on Football as a worldwide game.

The French stadiums are generally newer and more comfortable for sure, but Italian stadiums are more unique. Think about having Stadio Renato Dall'Ara or Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the game for example. Would be incredibly cool additions.
Serie A is VERY difficult, because the stadiums have direct contracts with the teams, and they casn't easily include every one of them.
Ligue 1 is next, imo, because they already have the broadcast package and they have an excellent relationship with the league, because they have exclusuve partnerships with the big 3 (OL, OM and PSG)
As for the German stadiums, it's phenomenal because i do Dortmund career modes EVERY year, since FIFA 09, so i can finally enjoy it in the fullest.
They now have regionalized crowds in Japan, but Saudi Arabia remains the same. Strange.
How about Korea and China?
Well it seems there is a "generic Asian" crowd. I could see best in the Gamba Osaka stadium as they showed me a cut scene. I can tell you they have drums in the K-legue which I'm not sure if that is new or not. Mostly stadium sounds and the same regardless of where you play but I did notice they had drums. One really annoying this is they have an English stadium announcer everywhere in Asia, it's pretty annoying. They only come out if you score with someone like Gomis or Eder so it's typical EA attention to detail. One thing nice six things poor.
I remember seeing leaked videos of Bundesliga stadiums scan months back which showed Freiburg stadium - presuming this is fake now? Haha I’m actually gutted their stadium ain’t in it, seemed to have the most character out the lot of them - old school
Streamers are playing in Ataturk Olimpiyat Stadium.
Thats so gooooood thank God
What's the point? I hate when they add national stadiums, what is the point. If it's not linked to a club then pick another one. PES have Fenerbache so why not get the Galatasaray stadium rather than something that might get used in an international qualifier if you happen to get Turkey in your group
Because it's hosting the Champions League final
Oh ok, that makes sense. Nice bonus stadium but shame we can't use it in Career Mode
So we’re getting a new stadium which can’t be used in career mode? Come on ea, terrible

Of course it can be used in career mode for the UCL final and probably when you play with the Turkish national team. It's just that no club is playing on that stadium otherwise.

Freiburgs new stadium will open in 2020,so it is guessed that the new stadium could be included next year and they just dont want to put in the effort to give us a stadium for only one year
when will the final 3 stadiums be announced? Will they be from the big 3 of Portugal (Benfica - Estadio da Luz, Sporting - Estadio de Alvalade, FC Porto - Estadio do Dragao who host the 2020 UEFA super Cup Final)?
Will Atatürk stadium (hosts of 2020 champions league final) be on the list of assignable stadiums along with generics? This was home to Galatasaray, Beşiktaş, Istanbul Başakşehir for a few years. It would be nice if we could manually assign this stadium to these three clubs using stadium editor.
Suggestion in terms of stadiums: I think EA should really consider adding the top 2 or 3 stadiums from every league in the game next year as opposed to 13 stadiums from one league. All the stadiums from England, Spain, and Germany are absolutely amazing but in terms of champions and Europa league stadiums from other countries would be nice I think.
Italian stadiums are weird, there have always perennially been 3 in both FIFA and PES - Juve's stadium, San Siro and the Stadio Olympico. None of the others ever really feature, you'd think given the popularity of either game they'd want their stadium in the game to act as a bit of marketing
I just saw a video where someone started a career and the RB Leipzig stadium was called "Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)". That leads me to believe that there's another Red Bull Arena (New York?) in the game. Because why else would EA add the "(Leipzig)"?

Good catch. Could absolutely mean that New York Red Bulls is the MLS club that gets its stadium in the game.

Red Bull Arena is the name of the 3 stadia for RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and New York Red Bull so it doesnt mean it is for New York. We already know that the Red Bull Arena for RB Leipzig is in the game.
The Red Bull Arena for New York and Salzburg are also identical buildings so EA could also use the model for both teams if they made one
Rated E For Everyone.

Me too. People keep throwing Ligue 1 in as one of the top leagues in Europe but it's miles after the top four leagues.

Nope, it's been removed

Also Estádio da Luz is not in the game.
Can you provide the source? Huesca and Rayo Vallecano stadiums should be in the game too.
Then
13 Bundesliga + Sheffield + Lyon + Valladolid + 2020 UCL final =17
3 stadiums are left.
At least 1 MLS team for sure.
It's probably that MLS stadium + Huesca and Rayo. Those three are surely in so if 90 is the number then that's it.
With the Champions League and Europa League licenses, this is shocking...
