No, the issue that I’m bringing up is not the fiction element. It is the blending of the fictional and the real at the same time.

As another example of how they can make a fictional change and it’s fine is the location. The film’s homeless World Cup was set in Hungary.
However, the real 2010 homeless World Cup was set in Brazil.
The use of an incorrect place or team is completely fine when it’s fictional as long as it’s not directly used with something non fictional, because the audience wouldn’t know the difference.
All this being said. This tiny issue is nothing compared to the major problem of the film. It is just awful.
It's a fiction so having a fake team can hardly be a plot hole ?

It’s just factually inaccurate and a small example of how so much of the film is just wrong or badly made.
