Football Manager 2024 League Updates - AFC Leagues for FM24 by MasterIgor v24.16 (with Coefficients)
Hello everyone,

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.

    @MasterIgor I have simulated until august '24.
    CL Elite is working (East and West Region) but CL Two is divided in 8 groups (do not see which is East and West though), same as Challenge League. If this was meant to then everything works (data etc).

    And also is it ok if there are different teams in those groups then i see on wiki?

    ACLE nad ECL2 still not have the right names, but the Challenge League do now!

    Using english lanhuage did not help.
    So.. can i change the names in the in game editor myself then?

    Thank you again for all your hard work!
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @Veerman: apparently so! I will change it in a next update
    1
  • Keneth Veerman's avatar
    But apparently the Indonesian League has changed its rules again, to free 8 foreign players, only 6 in starting XI
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor I really hope you have the energy left to do that!
    It would be awesome if the AFC CL Elite can continue in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and FIFA Club World Cup every year. I know the Club World Cup is allready in the base game and i do have a Intercontinental Cup.by TMC but not sure if his alligns together with your AFC CL Elite. Will also test your suggestion to see if the 2024 is correct.

    If the names still will not change (even if i use english language) can i safely change them myself in the in-game editor or will that change the whole AFC format?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @CieWolf1970: ok, dutch language could perhaps explain why the name change is not shown. Otherwise it seems to look good. If you want to be sure, you could go on holiday until August 2024 and see if the competitions use the 2024 format.

    As for international cups by FIFA: maybe if I still have energy left after completing all the rest.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Maybe also (re)think about adding the FIFA Intercontinental Cup? because the winner of the Champions League Elite will qualify for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup (and also FIFA Club World Cup) or will those 2 allready happen with your awesome mod? Sorry to bother you with all these
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @Master Igor I play in my native language which is dutch.
    Also not in '24 yet. Still starting on july 10, '23. Should i simulate until '24 first?

    Also the Champions League Elite (AFC Champions League) is in the preliminary round (west and east), CL Two (AFC Cup) is in the second preliminary round (south and east asian and asean zones) and the Challenge League (AFC President's Cup) will start on august 13, '24.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor I play with My native language which is Dutch!
    I am not in 2024 yet. I am still starting on July 10.
    Champions League Elite (Champions League) is in the Preliminary Round (West and East) and Champions League Two (AFC Cup) is in the 2nd Preliminary Round (South and Central Asian and ASEAN Zones) and the Challenge League (President's Cup) will start on August 13, '24. You want me to simulate until '24 first? I do also use these cups/tournaments: https://www.fmscout.com/c-fm24-leagues.html?id=11119
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    That is strange indeed. In what language do you play the game? I am thinking maybe the language files could overwrite the competition names in some cases, but I am not sure.

    Is it just the names, are the formats in 2024 the new formats?
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor I meant AFC Champions League Elite as AFC Champions League
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Thank you for responding, but when i just use your files including the CONCACAF and OFC i still see AFC Chalenge League as AFC President's Cup, AFC Champions League Two as AFC Cup and AFC Champions League Elite as AFC Champions League Elite! And this is just using your files! Can i rename them myself in the In Game Editor?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @pjoyhasha: I will concider it and investigate
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    ok, let me rephrase without abbreviations: I renamed "Asian Champions League" to "AFC Champions League Elite" and "Asian Confederation Cup" to "AFC Champions League Two". And I renamed the "Asian President's Cup" to "AFC Challenge League". The reason is that these are the new names.

    If you don't see these new names by me in the game, I guess you are using other files that manipulate these competitions in the DB.
    I also changed the colors to purple, blue and red (like their official logos).
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Is there a specific reason why you renamed them acle and acl2 instead of their original names Champions League Elite and Champions League Two?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    I have renamed asian champions league and asian confederation cup to acle and acl2. When you start, they will use the 2023 format. After 1 season in july 2024, they will use the 2024 format and the challenge league starts.
    The AFC Continental cups competition is a dummy that I had to create with hidden stages that do the east/west separation.
    Also check that you dont use other files that change asian continental cups because that could break things.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    Awesome that those new continental cups are in now! When i start my career i see the Challenge League with known schedule and start league dates visible but i do not see the CL Elite and CL Two in my search! I do see AFC Continental Competitions but no schedule and start data yet. But i believe (wiki) that both are known! Did i do something wrong?
  • pjoyhasha's avatar
    Hello @MasterIgor. Can you add the ASEAN Club Championship also known as Shopee Cup in a future update? The competition will begin this 17th July 2024
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    a long overdue release for AFC. Some expansions for a couple of leagues and of course the new continental cup formats. Thanks for being patient.
    I spent the last 3 weeks working on those cups. It was not easy getting the setup for the competitions right (East & West separation) together with working coefficients. But nothing is impossible ;-)
    The coefficients are not the same as in real because it wasn't possible in the editor, but I managed a satisfying alternative.

    @CieWolf1970: you were 5 hours too early! :D
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor The schedules of the AFC's Champions League Elite, Champions League Two and Challenge League are released according to Wiki. Will you be now making this now as well to be included in a future update?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @Maverik: I will have a look into that. Should be possible but don't know when yet
  • Maverik's avatar
    @MasterIgor will you include auckland fc in any update?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @ab274: yes I was hoping the final format would be released soon. because at this moment there are too many uncertainties. All I can say is that when it is published that I plan to create the competitions.
  • ab274's avatar
    Hi @MasterIgor. I'm sure many people keep asking you about it but just wanted to know whether the AFC continental competitions will be coming in a future update. I want to start a save in India but am happy to wait till an update comes out so that I can play with the proper continental competitions. Thanks.
  • Whitewulf's avatar
    Thank you @MasterIgor! They added a lot of team in the Philippines first division. They have now 15 teams available :)
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @NoTottiNoParty: no, I didn't touch those settings.
