here is the league pack for all nations/federations in Oceania.
Starting from v24.3, there is the option to use coefficients for the continental cups, so changes to the nation slots may occur over time.
! 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 OFC.
please see the readme.html for details.
Changelog:
v24.4
- American Samoa (ASA): new format for 2024 added (single league with 2 rounds)
- Fiji (FIJ): corrected team list and schedule of the cups
- New Caledonia (NCL): added formats for 2024 and 2025 for the Super Ligue
- Papua New Guinea (PNG): corrected league playoff format
- Samoa (SAM): added format for 2024
- Tahiti (TAH): corrected 2023 format and added 2024 format - Ligue 1 is reduced to 10 teams
- Vanuatu (VAN): Port Vila league starts in 2024 and is reduced to 6 teams in 2025. Updated schedules
- *** Note, there is no update to New Zealand. In 2025 Auckland FC Reserves play in the Northern League. This team was added by me in the Australia file, so in order to get their reserve team into New Zealand, I would have to adjust also Australia. I felt unsure about this, and rather than breaking 2 nations I opted to leave New Zealand as is, and the team will probably be in FM26 by default and it can be added when that is available.
v24.3
- Continental Cups: now using 5 year coefficients (starts after 3rd year)
- New Zealand (NZL): refactored into 1 file, eliminated 3rd tier because of chance that leagues can become depleted
- Tuvalu (TUV): fixed qualification for Independence Cup (was random)
- Vanuatu (VAN): minor changes how National League is displayed
v24.2
- all Nations: Update to 24.3 database
- all Nations: Fixed registration issue causing teams to register only youth players (happened for competitions with groups/subcompetitions)
v24.1
- all Nations: refactored qualification to the OFC Champions League
- OFC / OFC_ALL : refactored qualifications to the OFC Champions League
- OFC / OFC_ALL : in 2023 the real life teams play in the OFC Champions League (with the exception of Sia-Raga from Vanuatu because that team is by default disabled in the game)
- New Zealand: split into 3 files to avoid rare anomalies with promotions in regional subdivisions, please only use 1 file and read the readme.html
- New Zealand: National League no longer runs as parent competition, this enables a better view of all subleagues
- New Zealand: better handling of Wellington Phoenix Reserves, they will not end up in another league
- New Zealand: removed foreigner rule for Wellington Phoenix Reserves (because main team is in Australia, all players were otherwise listed as foreigners)
I wish you lots of success in your managerial adventures in Oceania.

Thanks for answering. I thought both Auckland teams were related, but I am not sure.
That sounds fair ofcourse. Your update pack is truly awesome as it is, so no worries. Thanks for making this, that is truly appreciated
Just for your interest, you can add new nations to the database, by overwriting extinct ones like CIS and Ireland pre-1922.
- to my best knowledge, Auckland FC in the Australian League is a new team and is not the same as Auckland City in the New Zealand National League. So there are no changes there.
- as for the other "request". I made my decision to create only nations which can qualify for continental cups (plus Tuvalu & Kiribati). This already was a really huge task. Most of the small nations and or islands you mentioned are not even in the database so it's impossible to create because you cannot add countries to the FM database. So I have to say no, I will not create them. I rather spend that time making the other leagues as good as I can.
If Auckland will play in the Australian A-League. What will happen to the NZ leagues?
Would you be interested and willing to add nations and regions that are not part of FIFA (or the continental confederations) but (could) participate in CONIFA or WUFA competitons?
According to FIFA, RSSSF and Wikipedia there are (or recently were) active leagues in for example Greenland, Falkland, St. Helena, Ascension Island, Northern-Cyprus, Palau, Niue, Vatican City, Gozo (Malta), Isle of Man (UK), Guernsey (UK), Jersey (UK), Isles of Scilly (UK), Hebrides (Scotland), Shetland (Scotland), Orkney (Scotland), Hawaii, Alaska, Galapagos Islands,
Trying to setup a football league and national team: Marshall Islands, Tibet (only national team on occasions), Easter Island (only national team I guess)
Countries / regions without real football infrastructure: Tokelau, Nauru, Tristan da Cunha, Pitcairn.
As continental competitons are tricky to edit, it would be best if all those nations do not participiate in the normal Champions Leagues and major continental tournaments, but if they only play domesticly or are added to newly made CONIFA / WUFA competitions like the Island Games.
This is in no way meant that you or anyone else should make this. It's just that I like to play in nations that are as far away as possible.

but the official rule for the qualification from OFC is: "OFC Champions League winner with the best 4 year ranking". So, simply sending the winner to the World Cup is not correct.
However, I did not find a way to create a 4 year ranking, so in my club world cup file, I am picking the winner with the biggest reputation. This is probably also not very accurate but I didn't find a better way.
I will investigate why group draw is not random. Could be a simple setting that I forgot.
But like I wrote in the africa comment, when I have time again. Right now not possible.
- a first release which will add only new countries which are not yet in the game. These are about 20 countries. I started yesterday.
- a second release which will expand a few leagues. Not all, because if there are already a lot of tiers in the game itself I see not much value in adding more. (it would also consume a lot of time)
I can not say how long it will take me because I have not researched all of them yet. But it will certainly be a few weeks until release #1.
The advantage is that european leagues are well documented on internet, but they also have a lot of competitions, and rules, etc.
And of course I aim to be as realistic and tested as much as possible because quality is important to me.
That's it. best regards. Igor.
Is there a chance that the European leagues will be updated to 24.3 anytime soon ?
Do you load any other files (from other editors) by any chance? Or anything which may hint as to why this problem occurs? Do other files from OFC load?
Unfortunately I cannot really debug FM because I am not part of SI, so I am not sure how to help with this one :-(
