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.

Is there a very rough schedule for other files to be updated or do you dont plan the same for them?
Your effort for this community is second to none - many many thx and best wishes for you and your family!
this is a major extension for AFC nations. In my opinion the major changes/fixes are:
- Continental Cup winners qualify for next year, the registration issues should be fixed. In order to get this working I had to invest quite some time and effort.
- South Korea will start promotion/relegation between K2 & K3 leagues in 2026/2027.
- Australia has 7 new federation cups
- 2nd tier for Bangladesh, Kuwait and Mongolia
- North Korean cup added, Oman League Cup added
- and new formats for nations where there are new formats in real life.
- some army clubs in many nations cannot have/sign foreign players
- see readme for details
btw.. @ytplasticman: rules for afc cups are changed (from 2024 onwards). I allow 35 players to be registered, but maximum 25 can be over 22. This should reflect the real rules with the 2 lists, where the b list are only under 22.
And thank you for the tip by the way!
(actually I have done a major update for practically all AFC nations and tomorrow I start with the in-game testing)
For reference, this is what it looks like before a game.
I encounter a bug all players became unregistered.
It happens when perform a save and load.
@kurovski: I am careful, but I think just AFC.fmf will be enough. However, if some national competitions are not simulated, then it could be that always the same teams from those nations compete in the AFC competitions. For a full experience it is better to use all nation files or at least those nation files which are not in the default game. You don't need to load the leagues because just using the file will mean that the leagues get simulated winners - if I am correct.
For the Continental File, do I need to load the individual files for it to work or just AFC.fmf will do the trick?
@JorgenB, I will take a look at the history and the years, I dont think I made it like that on purpose.
@jvmx31: I didnt know that at the time when I made the rules. It can be done in an update, maybe in january I have time.
@thespp: do you have a savegame thar I can investigate? I can also have a look in january.
