Description of issue
I'm reposting this issue from FM23.
The Cuban club representing the city of Havana in recent versions of the game is not the same club as the one that was present in previous editions of the game. The club La Habana (ID 5430463) now appears to resemble the current top tier club FC La Habana, which is not the same club as Ciudad de le Habana, a former 10-time national champion that was represented under this ID as recently as FM21. Ciudad appear to either no longer exist or to be playing in a lower division, but the history of the club in the database matches that of Ciudad and not FC La Habana.
The fact that these clubs are not the same can be proven through RSSSF records that show them playing in the same league at the same time for several years (ex: https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cuba08.html) and Spanish Wikipedia has separate pages for each club. I suppose it is possible that the two clubs merged, but I have not seen evidence of this online and even if they did, Ciudad's history should be separated from FC La Habana's. To fix this, FC Le Habana should be created as a separate club with its own history (four national titles in 1916 and consecutively from 1965-67) reflected, and the ID 5430463 should be reverted back to Ciudad de la Habana and contain record of its 10 national titles (1963, 1964, 1972, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1984, 1994, 1998, 2001). Ciudad should be either marked as extinct or placed in the lower division. Lastly, FC La Habana play at the Estadio La Polar rather than Ciudad's Estadio Pedro Marrero.
