Football Manager 2024 League Updates - AFC Leagues for FM24 by MasterIgor v24.13 (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.

    Ok I tested the Japan file a few times and whenever the season changes from 2023 to 2024, Fujieda MYFC is kicked out of J2 league. There is definitely a problem with rule transitions from 2023 to 2024. It's always Fujieda that never gets to play in 2024.

    @MasterIgor

    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

    Sorry for tons of comments recently but just one last thing to say is that there is no reserve league in Korea. There used to be something called R League until 2022 and it hasn't been held since 2023. Only about 6 football teams in K league were willing to join R league so KFA basically decided not to hold it. It can be held again in the future if more teams are willing to participate but for now there is no reserve league in Korea.
    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.
  • laesmas's avatar
    One more thing. Starting from 2024, K league 1 and Korea cup rules allow 9 substitute members. Seems that they stay as 7 in your file. (K league 2 stays the same with 7 btw)

    i have fixed it myself. I will test if challlenge league is showing up but the ACL2 is now working
  • agentg211's avatar
    I used this DB along with my fictional Philippine league, it started well but when it was 2024, ACL2 and ChallengeLeague wasnt showing up but ACL elite is working well. I tried simulating 1-2 years but it still doesnt show up. Same with the question below me, do I need to start the game 2023 sharp ?
  • laesmas's avatar
    When I started the game in 2024, Fujieda MYFC, a J2 league team, did not join the J2 league schedule and it only played for the emperor's cup. Still says that it is in J2 league but doesn't seem to play any games there. Is it mandatory to start the league in 2023 or is it some kinda error?
    Also, it seems that the price money for J league seems to be overrated. Is it just to make up for other money in total, like the one from TV?
  • agentg211's avatar
    nvm
  • agentg211's avatar
    is it just me or the league phase doesnt show up to me in the acl elite

    @AiZaK: impossible to tell, editing takes a lot of time and patience. I did release my latest update for UEFA today though. Next is CONMEBOL, CAF, OFC and CONCACAF where I will check if there are new formats.
  • AiZaK's avatar
    MasterIgor, Approximately when do you think all the updates will be finished?
    Many thanks for your amazing packs!!!
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @satoshikairyu: in the editor, it does not happen. the group match is the first week of october and the international matches are mid of october. So one of them must have moved for some reason.
    As for the setting, yes I currently have "Check for Clashes" set to "None" in the schedule of the AFC competitions. You could change this to "International only". But no guarantee to what that does to the schedule because I have not tested this.
  • satoshikairyu's avatar
    I found that the second ACLE group match always clashes with international call-ups of Hong Kong national team. Is there anyway to change the setting so that such collision can be avoided?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @ww917: indeed, it went from 6 to 7. I have written it down for a future update.

    @Fdrllw: assuming they are still in the premier league, that is strange, because I only have rules changes between the first and second season.
    And about your changes and moving/merging them to my AFC v24.13, this is impossible for me to tell not knowing what those changes are. I would not recommend changes to the rules or to the number of teams in the leagues. Updating the database, players and staff should not be a problem. - I made 0 changes to the database for Singapore.
  • ww917's avatar
    I think the registration rule of the hong kong premier league should be the number of foreign players can be registered with no more than 7 in the match squad and no more than 6 on the pitch during matches.

    @masterigor:
    Great job as always, played 3 seasons in Singapore, wanted to bring up about Shopee cup, and I've read that there's nothing we could do because of dynamic system.

    Another point i would like to bring up is @Lida14 comment, during my 3rd season, I found that Young Lions rules in registration was given to Albirex Niigata instead.

    This was found during v24.12 // Let me try using version 13 and see what I can find out.

    On another note, I've updated a lot of Singapore league and cup infrastructure and player staff future move, is there a way for me to port over those files to v13?

    Thank you for your work.

    PS; Please help support MasterIgor by buying him a coffee

    @Min2413: yes it should start in May. Please check and verify if my rule file is correctly loaded (and no other files for Malaysia are loaded)

    @shannyarg: yes all my files are compatible with another.
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @kedahgombak:
    I based my file on what I could find in my research. For Malaysia and Qualification I found the following:

    Malaysia (MAS): As 2023 Malaysia FA Cup winners Johor Darul Ta'zim qualified for the Champions League Elite via their league position, the spot reserved for the Malaysia FA Cup winners was passed onto the runners-up of the 2023 Malaysia Super League.

    So it said runner up of the league instead of the cup. This information could be wrong of course. But the qualification (for the entire AFC cups) is already very complicated and it was difficult to get it right.
    Also, the Shopee Cup qualification is a little different in every nation, but it's something that is hard to do in a dynamic system if the ranking based on coefficients change. So I chose to go for the best team in the league.

    My resources are limited, but you can change the file and the qualification for your personal use.
