In the link is the league pack for all nations/federations in Asia. It also includes the continental competitions for AFC which are based on my solution for FM24 but with more accurate rules.
Currently only men's competitions are included.
! for Official 26.2.0 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.

Discussion: AFC Leagues for FM26 by MasterIgor v26.7 (men only)
64 comments have been posted so far.
Cameroon 16 teams needen but 17 found Elite two
Congo 14 nedded, 15 found... the other the same..
In my opinion this is very unprofessional by SI. Now there are 2 variants of the 26.2.0 database out there, and my files do not work with both.
I will update to the latest, but then they will not work with the older version.. so in any case, people like me will look like the losers.
Also, in my game, only Syria in AFC is locked. The others are working.. any more feedback about this?
a small explanation why it took so long: SI changed behaviour of the game and the editor for a certain group stage where not all teams play eachother. This caused a crash in the editor and the game for the AFC Continental Cups file.
Additionally, SI managed to screw up the editor so that testing continental cups was no longer possible.
Therefore, it took me more time and nerves to fix this.
Afghanistan number of teams issue
Iran number of team issue
Australia teams issue
Japan number team issue nippon league
Nepal number team issues divison A
Tajikistan number of teams issue
Vietnam second division teams issue
AFC continental comps crashes editor so can’t verify
the 3 types are:
1) 10 AFC-only foreigners in squad / 7 on the field
2) 4 intercontinental foreigners + 1 AFC + 1 ASEAN / 5 on the field
3) 6 ASEAN only foreigners / all 6 allowed on the field
I had to pick 1, and I picked AFC-only because it is what most teams chose. I know, however I do it, it is wrong in some way, but unfortunately, I can't do all 3 types
and also, Lao Army cannot have foreigners (this I implemented)
@MasterIgor I tried the Laos league, but it has a registration rule of a maximum of 0 Foreign Players (not including Asian), it make you can't register any non-Asian Foreign Players, which I think is not right? Please take a look. Thanks for your hard work as always brother

So I will work on these reported issues here for AFC:
- South Korea, I have adapted the format and team changes
- India, I will re-introduce the playoffs since it states that this year they were removed as an exception
- Malaysia: made the transfer and registration window changes and u22 rule. But the start date, I could not find anything wrong.
I'd like to request an update for the K-League in South Korea.
The promotion and relegation system will change in 2026, increasing the number of K-League 1 teams from 12 to 14 in 2027.
K-League 2 will add three new teams in 2026, bringing the total to 17, and then reduce to 15 in 2027.
Please masterigor.
