I'd like to provide a huge shoutout to Mark1677 over on Sortitoutsi for providing inspiration to create this league system - While this database is created from scratch, due to some implementations of the original I was not a fan of, certain aspects of the file are inspired by Mark1677, such as the league naming, and the "Ungdomspokal"-concept. So a big thanks to him, and if you want to see a different take on a Scandinavian Super League, go check out his work - Link right here!
Now, without further ado, some details about the league system you're about to explore!
League Structure:
1. Guldligaen (Gold League):
- Top Tier: Guldligaen comprises the elite of Scandinavian football, featuring 20 competitive teams battling for glory. Each season, three teams will face relegation, keeping the competition fierce and ensuring only the best rise to the top.
2. Sølvligaen (Silver League):
- Second Tier: Sølvligaen hosts 24 ambitious clubs vying for promotion to the Guldligaen. The top two teams secure direct promotion, while the next four contend in a playoff for the third promotion spot. Conversely, the bottom three teams are relegated, intensifying the fight for survival.
3. Bronzeligaen (Bronze League):
- Third Tier: Bronzeligaen features another 24 teams aiming to climb the ladder of success. Similar to Sølvligaen, the top two gain automatic promotion, with spots three to six entering a playoff battle. Meanwhile, the bottom three clubs face the harsh reality of relegation.
4. Jernligaen (Iron League):
- Fourth Tier: Jernligaen welcomes 24 determined sides with dreams of reaching higher divisions. Just like the tiers above, the top two teams ascend directly, while the next four engage in a playoff showdown. However, the stakes are higher here, as the bottom four teams drop down to the lower division.
5. Samlingsligaen (Unity League):
- Lowest Tier: Samlingsligaen marks the entry point for many aspiring clubs, split into four groups of 24 teams each. Only the group winners will taste promotion, making every match crucial in this fiercely contested league.
Cup Competitions:
1. Nordens Pokal (Nordic Cup):
- This esteemed cup competition mirrors the excitement of traditional tournaments like the FA Cup. Clubs from across Scandinavia clash for the chance to lift the coveted trophy, showcasing their prowess on a national stage.
2. Nordens Ungdomspokal (Nordic Youth Cup):
- Focused on nurturing young talent, the Nordic Youth Cup mandates teams to field U23 players. This provides a platform for budding stars to shine while offering managers the opportunity to shape the future of their clubs.
How to Install
I have provided a .zip file that contains what you need to run this database. The files go in "\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data", or whereever you've chosen to place your user data. But if you've placed in at a non-default location, you probably don't need me to explain this to you.
You also must start a new game to select this file and use, it won't work on existing save-games.
Variations
You'll probably notice that there are two files in the .zip file - "Unrestricted" and "Domestic Limits". Basically, one is for fun, and the other is for realism. I imagine, that if this were ever to happen in real life, it would be to encourage development of the domestic football scene, and as such, focus on domestic talent and young players. This is shown in the "Domestic Limits" file, with restrictions on Matchday Squads. "Unrestricted" is just for fun, no limits on squads at all.

Some of my Norwegian players need to be sent on an intensive language course to learn Danish. Understandable that you have to do it this way, but still very weird lol. Also I don't understand why there's two cups? What's the point of the "youth pokal"? I seem to be playing my full team in it? Also all contract offers start on 1-2 years, and many players don't wanna have longer contracts than this, which I find a bit weird
But regardless, I realise that I have indeed run into this, and I can confirm that you can just click "Ok" through all the error messages - The game will still load, and all leagues will function perfectly. I don't know why the error occurs, but it seems to be AMD Ryzen specific - But again, just click "Ok" through the messages, and it will still work fine.
its shows when you add the leagues and start the game 4times the message that I describe above .
i use the original data and loading the original leagues without to include the leagues of SWE NOR FIN ICE and FER IS. Cause your mode take the teams from there . What ever do this message constant pop up and is exactly that ( warnings-and-errors
Warning: Rule group as empty discipline rules

I promise you it does work, I've probably played and/or simmed a total of 100 seasons using it before publishing, with no errors.

THE ISSUE IS AS ABOVE means that the teams or some of them are located on the correct division so impossible to play this mod
