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.

    Wow these look great, when you edit the A-League to add Auckland do you lose any of the Aussie stuff like salary cap, contract types etc? Looks promising, and nice to get Auckland int here since we have so long left with FM24. I'd guess the Vietnam issues minhraus is describing are from the season ticking over too late and maybe the ranking levels not being set?

    When you edited ACL were you able to keep the coefficients? You can keep the original tournament sort of in the background just handing out seedings and such and it should keep them active

    @ciewolf1970 which of my builds aren't stable? Haha my work is cleaner than the default leagues and cups in almost all instances! And if you were to point out any issues I fix them very quickly, need people testing and reporting bugs
  • minhraus's avatar
    I just started a new Vietnam league save with your AFC continental cups but seem like the cup seeds are not right, a team that finished 13/14 somehow qualified for the AFC Elite group stage in the 2nd season, after that it acted like the qualify seed is delay 1 years, for example, the league winner of 2nd season with get a seed in AFCE in the 4th season but not the 3rd one

    Hello,

    Unfortunately my situation changed somewhat and I have no more free time to do any editing.

    For me this concludes my project for the world in FM24. I spent almost a year on this, so you see what a big task it was.
  • pleqq's avatar
    welp turns out i cant so pls help
  • pleqq's avatar
    oops nvm i can do it myself
  • pleqq's avatar
    So now that Liga 1 Indonesia are changing it's rules again, removing the playoffs back to the basic league format again, can you update it to make the playoffs rules only for the 2023/24 season and only league the season afterwards? If you couldn't, maybe just change the format.

    @MasterIgor there's a slight mistake in India in terms of continental qualification rules. Common sense dictates that the winner of ISL final would qualify for AFC competition. But, India being India, the winner of ISL League Stage qualifies for AFC Champions League 2 and the winner of Super Cup takes the other AFC spot (IRL, last season, Mohun Bagan won ISL League Stage and Mumbai finished 2nd, Mumbai City won ISL trophy beating Mohun Bagan in the final, and East Bengal won Super Cup beating Mohun Bagan in the final. Mohun Bagan qualified for ACL2 group stage and East Bengal qualified for ACL2 Prelims, lost the prelims and will be playing AChL group stage now. Mumbai City is not playing in any AFC tournament this season)

    @CieWolf1970: that is correct according to SI, but I assume it is tied to a database version - otherwise the rule files cannot work - and that means that even if you have FM25, you'll need to start from the FM24 database with all teams and players still from 2023/2024 season like they were in FM24.
    I suspect people will prefer playing with the FM25 database.
    But of course it is always an option to use my files and start with the FM24 database.
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor I just remembered that you can continue your FM24 save with FM25, so you do not have to start all over again. Your awesome work will be continued in FM25.. am i right?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    I have not made my final decision on FM25 yet. Because I will not have much time to do anything. If converting will be easy then maybe yes.
  • AiZaK's avatar
    I am like CieWolf, I prefer wait more time but I prefer play FM24 with all your archives, so I will wait that final changes, THANKS A LOT!!!
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor There is one that made the Intercontinental Cup allready (TMC) but i honestly trust you more. Because his history of other stuff wasn't that stable and yours was and is! That simple! And, like i said, it is a huge part of the ACL Elite, ACL Two and ACGL! I am glad and thankfull that you are willing to make it. I will wait for that and the CONCACAF adjustment and then i can finally play the game! Thank you so much for all your hard and dedicated work and enjoy your free time. Btw.. will you continue your work when FM25 is released?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @CieWolf1970: thank you. I had avoided the Intercontinental cup because it didn't fit any continent pack really. And I believe there are also already other editors who added the Intercontinental cup?
    But hey, it's a small cup, I will quickly make it, and then I am in progress of adjusting the CONCACAF cups because one format changed in 2024 and then I will call it a day :D
  • CieWolf1970's avatar
    @MasterIgor Awesome work mate! Does this mean that you are done now adding new countries and extra stuff?
    But no (i asked before) FIFA Intercontinental Cup? Because this new tournament is linked to all those AFC new leagues! But thanks again for all your hard work!
  • SirTAVARES's avatar
    League rules are such a pain xD
    Congrats on the work =)

    @Maydini: they enter in the 2024 season, that is correct

    Hi, I am keen to play against Auckland FC in the A-League and downloaded the league pack. When I loaded the game up with the selected database I can't see Auckland FC in the league or do they come in for the 2024 season?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @WhiteWulf: thanks for pointing out, I did not notice it. I also found the reason already: newly created teams get disabled by FM unless you add them to the requirements list.. I had missed that. I will update right away.
  • Whitewulf's avatar
    Hi @MasterIgor - Thank you for updating the AFC league. Appreciate all your hardwork. I've noticed that the changes and added teams didn't reflect for the Philippine League. Thank you
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @minhraus: difficult for me to check since I always do big tests by holidaying. But I did notice something in my match rules, so that could have caused it. I am fixing it and will try to verify it
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @breakthegame: the AFC continental rules - which were difficult to get right - pick teams only from leagues, yes. I am going to investigate if I can insert also cup winners without too much effort, because that is how it is in real life of course.
  • jundiuye716's avatar
    Please update latest indonesian league regulations and new squad of indonesian national team
  • breakthegame's avatar
    Hello. Thanks for your work.
    I'm playing in Thailand. I finished the first season, finished 6th but won the cup. It says I should play AFCE but I'm not in the list of the teams while the champion is in, and the 2nd in the AFCE2
  • jundiuye716's avatar
    Please add Indonesia's U17 team for competition and fix Indonesia's U19 team cz it doesnt have any match and competition running..
  • ds0709's avatar
    It's a great patch, appreciated.

    And there's rules changed as there is no restriction on foreign players in the asian continental competition :)
