here is the league pack for all nations/federations in North America, Central Americ and the Caribbean.
From v24.5, there is the option to use 5 year coefficients for the continental cups (Caribbean & Central America only). The coefficients start being used after the 3rd year. So expect changes to the allocation of qualifying slots after that.
It was very hard to get this right for CONCACAF and I had to use a LOT of tricks to get it working at all. Please see the readme.html for more details.
! 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 CONCACAF.
I also added a file for the CONCACAF Continental Cups, which I strongly recommend to use because the original game rules have issues.
please see the readme.html for details.

Thanks a lot mate!
I have a question though, what determines qualification for the Costa Rican Cup for teams in the 2nd division? I assume it's the best ones, but I can't find anywhere in the game that states that.
Could you share the save maybe?
But the answer is yes, I also had this problem. It is because the original Central Amercian Cup in FM24 has an error: the host nation is set to Jamaica. Therefore, the participating clubs "travel" and don't play domestic league games in that time. Costa Rica and Honduras have a schedule with a lot of matches, and because of this travel, the clubs in Central American Cup sometimes cannot play all games in the league in time, and you get the error that the league did not finish in time.
Here are some tips:
- you can increase the time window where league matches can be played (but I did not do this because I wanted realism)
- sometimes you can retry validation and it can work if the random generator eliminates the teams from the cup sooner rather than later. (this is what I do - but you may have to retry 25 to 50 times to get it to work)
- I also strongly advise to use my CONCACAF continental cup file in the game, because it fixes the bug from orginal FM (the host nation is removed).
Mi pregunta es si te ocurrio el mismo fallo y le encontraste la solución, ya que a ti si te dejo verificar las ligas en el editor y poder jugarlas. Muchas gracias.
Hi! Thank you again for updating the rules for the new seasons!
I have a question and a request to look into the USA Championship regarding the rules for foreign players. In the game, you can only have 5 in the squad, but judging by the squads that they play in the league, there are definitely more of these players. Unfortunately, I did not find the rules described anywhere in my language, but maybe you will succeed
Greetings!
