Donovan Mitchell Receives Care Package From Soccer Giant Juventus

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Donovan Mitchell received a ”care package” from one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world, Juventus, after his recent debacle when he couldn’t find them on FIFA ’20 and asked Twitter why.

One of the more popular video games in the world, FIFA, released its 2020 version on September 27. On October 18, Mitchell tweeted asking his fans why he could not find the soccer giant Juventus in the game.

Why can’t I find Jueventes on fifa 20?

Mitchell’s fans responded with a number of responses trying to explain to the young phenom that Juventus and EA Sports, the developer of FIFA, were unable to renew their partnership. Instead, Juventus goes by ”Piemonte Calcio” in FIFA 20.

One of the responses came from Juventus FC, the official twitter handle of the club who corrected Mitchell’s spelling.

*Did you mean "Juventus"? 🙃

We're on @officialpes! A special pack is on its way to you so you can enjoy playing with the Bianconeri 🎮⚪⚫

As promised they sent him a package filled with memorabilia that included his own Juventus jersey.

In the photo tweeted by Mitchell, Juventus sent him a number of jerseys, a hat and what appears to be a copy of the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2020 game. In the tweet, Mitchell promised to spell the name right next time.

The reason Juventus are not featured in FIFA 20 is due to the club partnering with game developer Konami. The arch-rival to EA Sports and developer of PES.

If Mitchell wants to play a soccer game with Cristiano Ronaldo and the Juventus soccer club, he will need to switch his gaming alliance to PES and leave FIFA in the cupboard.
