These patches don't come from Konami. They come from anonymous users on forums like PES-PSP (now defunct) , NGU (NextGen Update) , or Facebook Groups named "PES 2013 PSP Arabic Modding Society."
The typical patch maker (let's call him "Ahmed"):

In the world of handheld football gaming, few titles hold the legendary status of Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013) for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). Even years after its release, the game boasts a dedicated fanbase. However, for Arabic-speaking fans, the lack of native tongue commentary has always been a sore spot.
Enter the PES 2013 Arabic Commentary Patch for PSP (2021) —a fan-made modification that breathes explosive new life into the decade-old game. If you are tired of the generic English or Spanish shouts and yearn for the passionate cries of “Goooooaaaaal!” or the analytical depth of Arab sports pundits, this patch is your holy grail.
This article provides a deep dive into what this patch is, why the 2021 version stands out, its specific features, a step-by-step installation guide, and troubleshooting tips. These patches don't come from Konami
On the surface, it makes no sense. By 2021, the PlayStation Portable was a dead platform (discontinued in 2014). FIFA had moved to Frostbite. PES had rebranded to eFootball. Yet, in the dark corners of Egyptian and Saudi tech forums, a niche community was meticulously stitching Arabic audio files into a 9-year-old game.
Why PES 2013 specifically?
To an outsider, playing a nine-year-old football game with hacked audio on dead hardware in 2021 seems absurd. But for the Arab gamer, it was about fidelity of feeling. The 2021 patch was likely the last "major"
Official modern games offer Arabic commentary, but it is sanitized. It is Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha)—the language of news anchors, not the street. The PES 2013 patch used the raw, emotional, colloquial Egyptian dialect. It had jokes. It had sarcasm. When a defender made a terrible tackle, the commentator wouldn't just say "That was a foul." He would say, “Keda ya gedaan? Keda?!” (Is that so, gentlemen? Is that so?!)
It turned a sterile simulation into a living room argument.
