here is the league pack for all nations/federations in Asia. It also includes the continental competitions for the 2024 format with coefficients.
! for Official 24.3.0 Update Database only !
Creating the world is a very time consuming task, and I do not have the time to support and test all databases. So I am going with the latest version only. The bright side is that it is for free. Tips are more than welcome though :-)
This file contains leagues and cups in real formats for all member federations of the AFC.
please see the readme.html for details.

All I can say is that I try to make formats as close to real life as possible
From the bits I saw from Timos pack, he adds much more lower leagues but they aren't always real life formats.
You can just check and compare them and play with what you like the most.
Your data are amazing. However, I don't mean to disrespect you with this question below:
As I found Timo megapack and yours, I would like to know what difference and whose is the latest update with correct data.
Kindly let me know, and I am sorry if I offend you. Thank you in advance.
Just beware, if you use my nation files and add more teams to divisions, then that can break them.
Has there been any change in the China file? It is not on your changelog but the file has different sizes between the versions.
Thank you!
- That there is no Preliminary Round can happen if the Elite/Two Winner from the previous year already qualified through national slots. In that case there is only a Playoff Round
- You finished 3rd in the league you say. The qualification process is 1st-CupWinner-2nd-3rd-... so it can be if the Cup Winner is a not in the top 3 of the league, in that case your team qualifies as 4th.
- Depending on the coefficients of Thailand, there can be 4 teams or 3 teams in the AFC Competitions. If Thailand is not in the top 3 of Asia East, then they have only 3 teams.
- if that is the case then you don't qualify. The fact that it says you qualified, I cannot answer really.
I always notice Kawasaki always have low ticket sales in my saves which I don’t feel is realistic if you get what I mean. Especially for a club that makes the most National team players and made it to the finals.
My sources is based on this Article: https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/0a7c0228ccc616ef7cb760b1212975cefd32607f
1) foreign rules in AFC cups: they are there in 2023, from 2024 onwards, no more restrictions.
2) Leagues going up or down: I have ran a test until 2058 in the game and several leagues have gone up or down a few spots. The movement is slow, but it happens
3) Japan: Fujieda did not disappear in any of my test runs. So I don't know what happened. Do you use any other files other than mine? There is a transition from 2023 to 2024 where the number of teams are reduced but as I said - it works. (I don't know how it is if you start in 2024 because this is not possible without modifications)
4) Korean substitute rules. I will check soon and update if necessary. Reserve or university leagues I can't do - I apologize but I don't have the time to do them.
5) all AFC competitions seem to work fine in my large tests. However, I am going to make a small update to the coefficient system, because I have recently learnt on how points are awarded.
if I missed anything, please ask/post again
I'm in my 3rd season in the Macau league, and not a single league in Asia has gone up or down in ranking in the coefficient. (Competition Rankings). Is this an error or could someone please explain why this is. Thank you
No, I didn't change the rule just the database 2 weeks ago.
And now I have made some amendments to the rules and database.
I went ahead and read the official rules and regulations for each Singapore active league wondering if you would like to help me vet the new edited Singapore file.
Cheers
One league I suggest to add for korea is something called U League, which stands for university league. It is, just like it says, a league for university teams in Korea. Many professional Korean football players join universities prior to joining professional teams, so I guess it's worth adding.
