Welcome to my challenge. After reading the book Soccernomics I came up with an idea for the game. They discussed how many of the Champions League winners are not from their countries capital city. Right there I thought was interesting. For a while now I have wanted to do this and create something for the community here at FM SCOUT.

Since European club competition began in the 1955/56 season only a few winners have came from their capital. Only six clubs that have won came from a capital city. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Benfica, Ajax, Red Star Belgrade and Steaua Bucure?ti. So this means you can use any club from a capital city in any division, can you bring Champions League glory to the capital of your country??

Example of Capitals and the clubs that can be used: (Clubs from Madrid, London, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Belgrade and Bucharest can't be used)

ITALY:AS Roma, Lazio
FRANCE:Paris Saint-Germain ,Paris FC,Red Star Paris
GERMANY:Hertha Berlin 1. FC Union Berlin,BFC Dynamo Berlin
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND:Shamrock Rovers,Bohemians,St. Patrick's Athletic
FINLAND:HJK Helsinki,HIFK
SCOTLAND:Hearts,Hibernian


You get the point, the club can be in any division as long as their capital city has never won Champions League. Next up are the rules. Now as you know many challenges have strict rules, well this one does not. The only main rule is no editor allowed. I want this to be a pretty straight forward and fun challenge for everyone.
Next up are the points system. This will see who had done the best job with certain accomplishments. Now these don't matter but it helps seeing who does/ has done the best.
