SAO PAULO (Reuters) - More than 20 Brazil-based footballers have won damages from the makers of top-selling video games and another 80 are lining up with similar suits that allege they are owed money for image rights, a lawyer for the players said on Friday.

The players, all of whom play in the Brazilian leagues, are suing EA Sports and Konami for money they say they are owed from as far back as 2007.
