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 26.0.0 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.
Changes in v26.5:

- removed U-18 leagues from Malaysia and Indonesia for performance reasons
- added U-19 reserve leagues to Afghanistan, Bhutan, Chinese Taipei, Guam, North Korea, Macau, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Northern Mariana, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Timor Leste and Yemen

Discussion: AFC Leagues for FM26 by MasterIgor v26.5 (men only)
46 comments have been posted so far.
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.
Starting, transfer window, register window dates and A1 minimum 1 u22 national players in starting 11.
Suggestions :
1. Starting date :
( For MSL use original FM26 db dates )
( For A1 also use original FM26 db dates)
( For A2 use this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025%E2%80%9326_Malaysia_A2_Amateur_League ).
2. Transfer window and register window :
( For MSL and A1 these both use same dates for register and transfer windows which is 9 June - 31 Aug and 5 Jan - Feb 1 ).
3. A1 minimum 1 u22 national players in starting 11 :
currently its set to less than meaning when i put 2 u22 players in first 11 game will say that Im not following the rules, maybe you can try to use more than and change the rule to u23 because the real life rule is minimum1 u23 players in starting 11 not u22.
The foreign rule seems to be removed :-)
Is that fixed in this db?
See paragraph 13.1, registration exclusively during periods. If my source is wrong please provide me with official source.
Unfortunately I cannot paste the link to the rulebook here
About registration, I based it on the rule book: https://resources.saudi-pro-league.pulselive.com/saudi-pro-league/document/2025/12/16/f84fe428-0de8-4c67-960f-92d4becec022/25-26-SPL-Handbook-MASTER-EN-FV.-16122025-EN-.pdf
See paragraph 13.1, registration exclusively during periods. If my source is wrong please provide me with official source.
- Vietnam file was not verified, I don't know how it happened but anyway, it is verified now
- Indonesia O35 limit was removed for Championship.
**It happens when I edit during holidays :-(
As for Saudi Arabia and the qualification of the Cup Winner to ACL2, this is not as easy as it seems. I could change it so that the Cup Winner slot is the 4th so that it goes to ACL2, but there is a problem if Saudi Arabia would drop in the coefficient table to have less than 4 qualifiers. Then the Cup Winner would have no more spot. I think that is not correct either. So at the moment I have not a good solution for this.
