Video game publisher Konami has announced that it has entered into an agreement that will bring 20 new teams from Brazil to the upcoming Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, allowing fans to take part in the action of one of the most spectacular leagues in the world.

The list of teams includes:

Flamengo Corinthians São Paulo Santos Portuguesa Internacional Palmeiras Fluminense Ponte Preta Coritiba Grêmio Vasco Atlético Mieiro Bahia Atlético Goianiense Sport Figueirense Náutico Botafogo Cruzeiro

Erik Bladinieres, the director of Latin America development for Konami, believes that, “The Latin American region, particularly Brazil, continues to grow tremendously for us, so it's important we bring teams and licenses from this region. Bringing in these teams from Brazil, along with the Copa Libertadores license, makes PES 2013 the most authentic soccer experience available in the market.”

PES 2013 also keeps the license for the Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, two of the competition with the highest profile in the world of football.
