    Hi,

    I am trying to create a football manager simulator. I was wondering if I can use real teams and real players' name. Is there a problem regarding copyright?

    Thank you very much,

    Adrian

    Not without express permission - which is going to cost a lot of money.

    Express permission from every player and club? That's gonna take ages

    No, contact the league and the players association. They handle the deals for the teams and players.

    No, you may not. However, this presents a trademark issue as opposed to a copyright one.
