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.

Discussion: AFC Leagues for FM24 by MasterIgor v24.13 (with Coefficients)
255 comments have been posted so far.
I added the leagues with the foreigner rules, so the AI should know that they can have max 10 foreigners. But if the hardcoded stuff takes priority over that then I am afraid there isn't much I can do about it.
But thanks for making me aware, I will keep an eye on it and see if there is anything that can be done. But at this moment I have no clue as I don't know of any setting in the editor for that.
So I did a holiday test over night and while they seem to sign some Saudis now, the crazy transfers from Europe seem to be removed as well. Some of that seems to be caused by the Daveincid though as well.
(it is not crazy to load all my files because that is what I do myself)
@phuc174: ok, I think I understand that you mean that the teams from 2024/25 season should be in the leagues. If so, this is not what I do. I create rules for the game, and the game start is 2023/24 season.
@Faisalx3: those rules will start in 2024. In the first season (2023), they use other rules (real life 2023 rules)
@Tiagoteles26: sorry, my spanish no good. but I will add new Argentina format in time, I just don't know when right now.
@Fdrllw: I checked and yes, I made a mistake in the Singapore rules where I put 3 instead of 6
@everyone: if yall enjoyed MasterIgor 2025 DB update, do buy him a coffee/chocolate, please see the readme.html for more details. Cheers
Reference: The following key changes were made to the rules for the 2024–25 season.
Each club squad must consist of a minimum 18 professional players and a maximum of 25 players.
Clubs must field a minimum of five local players, which is in line with the quota set by the AFC for its club competitions with the exception of Young Lions.
Quadruple round-robin format where each club will play each other four times in a season, instead of just three in seasons.
Each club can now register a maximum of nine foreign players, including representation from an AFC member association and three players under the age of 21 at the point of registration. A player who is initially registered as an under-21 player will remain classified as such for subsequent seasons, regardless of whether they turn 21 years old, until the rules changes.
For the U21 league, all Clubs (including Young Lions and excluding SAFSA) are allowed to register a maximum of 8 Foreign Players who are 21 years or younger, at the point of registration.
Value of the sponsorship is worth around $620,000.
VAR technology was feature for the first time in Singapore league history starting 2023.
Players get suspended for one match after 4, 7, and 9 yellow cards in a league, with a fine added after the 9th. A red card comes with a mandatory suspension of 1-6 matches, depending on the severity of the offence. Getting 2 red cards in the season results in a $1,000 fine and a possible harsher penalty from the Disciplinary Committee.

Desde quando descobri seus packs, só utilizo eles.
Vai sair a atualização da América do Sul com o novo formato do Campeonato Argentino?
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!
