Google translation (I know it sounds weird):

The game will be FIFA 09 Russian Premier League

The game FIFA 09 will be Russian Prime LigaPohozhe, a miracle did happen - it is possible that FIFA 09 in all domestic fans finally to get at its disposal a Russian Premier League. According to Joel Litsnera interview, he gave the magazine PC Games Magazine, the Russian Soccer fans will soon be able to play for your favorite clubs. At the existence of the Russian Premier League in EA drew attention only in 2005, after CSKA won the UEFA Cup. At the same time, negotiations began to incorporate RPL in FIFA 05, but agree with the RFS and RFPL was unable (apparently stumbling block was the money issue). In 2006, it was another attempt, without, however, enthusiasm. Finally, this year "Canadians of football" were - there RFS license for five years but time to include RPL in a game that was not. Now everything has changed. Besides, many said the fact that FIFA 09 will not only Russian Premier League, but First Division.

Yeah.. I know it's a bit old this news, but I wonder why nobody has already posted something about it. But wouldn't this be great? This would also explain all the PR-events of EA in Moscow (for FIFA Manager 09 and FIFA 09). The source seems reasonable, but the fact that this news is from January and that there are still only 30 leagues in the game let me doubt.

I'm amazed if EA actually give us something we want for a change. It will be great to have though.

I hope the Netherlands in 09 is the real one - I dont understand why its the only team in the whole game with made up players and plain fake kits!

 

[SAMUELKATALAN]

i have seen good Liga Macedonia 1 ?

 

[msekh]

if they get the macedonia league and not the ukrainian thats the dumbest move EVER..... hopefully they will atleast have shakhtar, dynamo, and dnipro the rest of the world

 

[Mattwinter]

If they were to put in the leagues of Russia and Argentina I would be happy - the only other league I would like to see added is the J-league.

I wish they would put in some more national teams - especially Asian and South American national teams.

Also, they should put in a few club tournaments - such as the Asian Champions league, so that when you play in the A-league or the K-league you have some higher level to play in as well.

I cant believe it! How can they include South African in FIFA 09 when they have not included many great leagues from South America[Uruguay,chile,colombia,etc] and Europe[Greece,Croatia,serbia,Ukraine,Romania,etc] ?

 

[Generic Oval]

This league list is obviously a fake.
EA already stated that there will be only 30 leagues and the number of national teams is also too big.

This league list is obviously a fake.

If there are 30 leagues, then no league has been added....

I think it is fake too, there is no reason to add Macedonia league first

 

[robertdeniro]

I think they would have added 2 or 3 new leagues.One will be the Russian league and the other will have to be Argentine league.

I think thats because the Dutch valued the sale of the rights to create the national team too highly for EA, yet everyone wanted it so they put in a fake.

 

[mogolos]

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake list for sure, do not be cheated!

 

[fifaCCitiu.com]

Same leagues and same teams like last years, maybe some second division poland and brazilian teams (relegated last year)

 

[Sparrowgoose]

It'd be a huge disappointment if the teams were the same. Russian league has some major stars, eg Vagner Love, Igor Akinfeev of CSKA, Bystrov of Spartak Moscow, etc. It's much in demand. But no, EA wouldn't release the list so early.

Yes I think you are right - and anyway we are able to change the squad on International Selections.
