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.

    Just curiously did you edit the citizenship requirements at all? I noticed a lot of them are set at the default 1825 years (5 years)

    From memory on older versions I remember Qatar being only 2 or 3 years while UAE is pretty undefined.. If you look at players like Yuri Caesar or Lucas Pimenta they're giving away citizenship after only 2 or 3 years too!

    @MasterIgor Thank you for answering. I would be very much appreciated if you could make that change whenever you have the time in your allready busy schedule. Thank you in advance

    @CieWolf1970: you mean the Thai League 2? I have not changed/added anything to the history but yes the original game database has no history entry for the 2022-2023 season of Thai League 2. It is normally not something I change in my files but I could add it - but it's not urgent. My focus is on working formats for the leagues and cups.

    @Whitewulf, thanks for mentioning, I will add it in the next update. I can't follow all nations of the world so if someone knows of a format change in a league I am happy to hear about it so I can adjust my files.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor You have Lamphun Warriors as champions of the 2022 season (2021-2022) when i (with your file) start the 2023-2024 season. So am i missing the winner of the 2022-2023 season winner which is Nakhon Pathom United. A bit confusing or ..? I hope you understand what i mean!
  • Whitewulf's avatar
    Hoping that we can get an updated Philippine Football League database too!

    Hi, I have issues with the player names. In the singapore league, some of the japanese players (could also be an issue with other japanese players in other leagues) have their name changed. I have done the instrcutions in the readme txt yet the names have not been fixed. Any way to fix the issue?
  • FTorres_18's avatar
    is there any chance you accept a request? can you include the afc champions league and afc cups file? i dont know how to get that competition on advances rules, i want edit the squad register rules for that competition
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @CieWolf1970: that Malaysia competition is his only, nothing to do with mine.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Sorry for the last question. Just found out i allready asked it and you answered it.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Will you be doing AFC Club Championships like AFC Champions League Elite, AFC Champions League 2 and AFC Challenge League?
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Also saw this Malaysia Competition by this guy
    https://www.fmscout.com/c-fm24-leagues.html?id=11021
    Is this also your original file or is this his? Just to be sure. They look kinda simular but i am not an expert!
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Darn! That is not a nice thing to do! I will remove his one from my editor data and replace it by yours. I see that he removed it as well.
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @CieWolf1970: thank you for bringing this to my attention. This person used my file and modified it. Regardless of the changes, this is a direct violation of my license.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    There is also an Indian Competition by this guy
    https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-india-vision2026.html
    Just wondering if everything he has in his description you also have with your Indian Comepetition?

    @minhraus: I confirm that East Timor players are concidered Asian but not South East Asian in the game. This is not a setting that I changed or can change even. So, unfortunately, this seems to be an SI bug.
    (The rules itself are working like they should)

    @MasterIgor: I tried to register a player from Timor Leste but it didn't count as SEA players somehow. I don't know how to post image on this page, sorry.
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @minhraus: I did a check and the rules worked correct for me. They are implemented in the same way as for nations already in the game (e.g. malaysia).
    Which nations did you try to register? And do you have a screenshot or savegame that I could take a look at?
  • minhraus's avatar
    @masterIgor Cambodia PL registration rule seems to be broken as I can't register more than 4/6 foreign players even if I sign 2 SEA players, they are somehow not count as SEA players but rather asia players. Pls check
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Thank you for clarifying that for me regarding the database
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @boscolam1234: The Uzbek Cup starts with a qualifying round where only lower tier clubs enter, then a group stage and a playoff. The top 2 tier teams enter the cup in the group stage. Please check.

    see wikipedia for reference.
  • boscolam1234's avatar
    Hello, Uzbek cup is contested with the division 3 clubs instead of division 1 clubs
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    To my best knowledge, the 24.3 database is still the latest also with the 24.4 update of FM24. So the files do not need to be re-verified.

    any update for the new version? thanks
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @Senght: thanks and apologies for the mistake. I think I fixed it now

    For everyone: registration periods are not updated every year if the update day of the nation changes dynamically. In the end, I changed the schedule for all years to Aug->May also for 2023. This was the only way to make it work. The foreigner rule is the original in 2023, but changes to the new rules in 2024 onwards.

    Hi MasterIgor, for SGP, the clubs cannot register any players because the squad registration window is still the old one. Can you look into that?
