Russia joins the AFC here, moving their continent and shoehorning their club teams into the Asian Champions League.

The national team file changes Russia to Asia and fits them into the international competitions, although Northern Marianas have been moved to Oceania to make room in some of the hard-coded competitions. The Asian coefficients seem to handle losing the N. Marianas fine. They're eligible for the Pacific Games for now, but I haven't put them in anything else as they're still not a FIFA member IRL, and it looks like the Oceania comps (which are surprisingly easy to edit) are specifically built to only include the 11 FIFA members since they double as FIFA qualifying. Might work on that later.

Here's a file that makes N. Marianas clubs eligible for the O-League.

The club file, like my FM23 version, puts the Russian cup winner and top two league teams - currently banned from UEFA - into the Asian Champions League, starting in the second season. Teams from the Ural Federal District and eastwards play in the East prelims, teams from west of the Urals, in the West.

Also contains the new ACL prize money. Haven't bothered with the new restructuring as teams qualify for continental comps in the background already and it's best not to mess with.

Note that the hard-coded sanctions on Russian teams mean that their "home" games are at neutral venues. They show up in the Asian coefficients, which seem to rise and fall as normal, but not in the separate page showing qualifying spots - so I've given them a hard 3 spots in the ACL every year starting in 2024.

    Hey lewdog, not at the moment, are those tournaments even in FM24? I think they still have the AFC Cup, which I think the Russian teams would unfairly dominate. I'm not as keen on remaking the whole Asian CL structure to accommodate the new tournaments because it might break all the coefficient stuff going on in the background

    any plans to work in russian teams into the AFC champions league 2 and AFC challenge league?

    Can you just delete russia from fm ? Will be much more useful

    and you are the creator of the update? I am fond of the editor myself on the 21st part, many international tournaments for national teams, I have experience. But I did not dig deep to transfer the team to another continent and the qualifying round. That's why I became interested in this mod, I saw it on many resources, there is silence in the comments so far. I will try to combine it tomorrow with the update to unlock the game for the Russian national team, I hope they are compatible, or I will try to combine them. And so I see that they are working, the team plays in Asia, but unfortunately it cannot be controlled.

    I think there's a hard-coded restriction against managing them. Might work on combining this with one of the mods that uses USSR to make Russia playable again

    The game is without frills, I specially reinstalled it. I only removed the gray teams (Germany, Japan, etc.) Accordingly, Russia is banned, it is impossible to manage it. What update should I download to remove this? According to this update, the team is in Asia and everything is cool, but it prevents me from taking control of it. I need an update that allows me to take it under coaching, but which one? So that it is compatible with this update. Please advise.

    Are those issues with the default game too? All that I've done is move them to Asia and made sure the competitions include them, but if there's some hard-coded restriction on playing with the Russia national team or selecting players, I haven't touched that.

    As for the RPL and FNL, I haven't touched those. So if SI have included a crappy/old version of the Russian leagues in the default game, I haven't changed anything. You could load a custom Russian league file (I'm sure there are some on Steam) and it should be compatible with these (including playing in the AFC Champions League)

    Good afternoon from Russia! I ran these two files and nothing else! I chose different settings: my world, the original and the real ones, but the result is the same! The national team is indeed in Asia, but it is unplayable, you cannot choose. And the clubs still have their own structure of the RPL and the FNL, it's very bad. Tell me, who did it happen that I did not load enough so that the national team could be managed?
  • themodelcitizen's avatar
    This isn't a file with the Russian league enabled, you can enable a Russian league file with any domestic rules you like (real or fake) and it shouldn't interfere with this mod that changes their continent to Asia and makes their clubs qualify for the ACL instead of the UCL.

    If your read the posts you'll see the hosting files are realism-based, Saudi have been given the tournaments they're hosting in real life

    few questions:

    how many foreigners are allowed to be registered in Russian league?
    also I've seen you posted some additional links for ASIAN Cup and there for World Cup hosts, mind answering why both are later on in Saudi Arabia? can't you set next WC to China, Japan or Australia? And similar thing for Asian Cup this could be in Korea or Vietnam. Why middle east pattern?
