Authentic Teams
Authentic teams in eFootball are real licensed clubs played with their actual squads and fixed player ratings, rather than a custom-built roster.
What Authentic means
An Authentic team is a real-world club used with its genuine roster — you line up the actual players at their base ratings instead of a squad you've assembled and upgraded. There's no card collecting or leveling: everyone using the same club gets the same team.
Why competitions use it
Authentic teams level the playing field. Because ratings are fixed, results lean more on match skill and tactics than on who has the deepest collection. That makes Authentic a popular choice for fair, skill-first tournaments and leagues.
Authentic vs Dream Team
Authentic = real clubs, fixed squads, no progression. Dream Team = custom clubs built from player cards with upgrades and leveling. Organizers usually pick one mode per competition and state it clearly so entrants know the format.
