Football Manager rule files for CONMEBOL v24.6

In this package, you will find rule files for CONMEBOL Member Nations.

I did my best to use realistic formats for all the leagues that are included. The rule files contain:

• real divisions and cups with real formats from 2023
• teams from the 2023 season
• all nations have transfer windows, registration periods, tv dates, match rules, prize money - when I was able to find this in my online research

Compatibility

• FM Database 24.3.0 (only)

The rule files are free, but every tip will greatly improve my motivation to provide updates and other federations, because I spent a great deal of free time researching and editing. So if you really enjoy the rule files, then every small contribution is greatly appreciated. Support Me.

Installation Guide

Copy the .fmf files for the nations you want into the folder "<My Documents>\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data\". The folder can be different if you have changed it in the FM24 preferences. The leagues should then appear the next time you start a new game in FM24 and chose advanced setup. Make sure you have the checkbox "add players to playable teams" checked. This is recommended, otherwise you may end up with a lot of greyed-out players.

Testing

all rules files have been tested by me in the editor and the game as well.
of course, it is always possible that there are issues and mistakes in the rule files. If you find an issue, you can contact me by E-Mail.

Available rule files:

File	Federation	added/changed competitions	comments
ARG.fmf	Argentina	[1] Argentina Primera Division [2] Argentina Segunda Division (*) [3] Argentina 3rd Division   [3.1] Torneo Federal A   [3.2] Metropolitan Zone B [Cup] Copa Argentina (**) [Cup] Supercopa [Cup] Supercopa Internacional [Cup] Trofeo de Campeones (***)	3rd tier was added. (in case the number of teams in a sub competition drops below a certain number, which can happen when promotions > relegations from tier 2, then there will be no more promotions until there are again enough teams. But this should not happen often) (*) Segunda Division refactored, will transition from 37 teams in 2023 to 38 teams in 2024 (**) Copa Argentina teams were refactored to enable 3rd tier teams to qualify for this tournament instead of being randomly picked (10 from Torneo Federal A and 5 from Metropolitan B) (***)Trofeo de Campeones refactored to real format, and will run every year (in game was only in 2023)
BOL.fmf	Bolivia	[1] Bolivia Primera Division [Cup] Copa de la Liga Professional	final ranking in 2023 (continental cup qualification and relegation spots) is done by average points gained in the league table and the group stage of the Copa (as in real life) Primera Division transitions from 17 team round robin league in 2023 to 16 team apertura and clausura league from 2024 onwards Copa de la Liga Professional ends in 2023
-	Brazil		No rule file: Brazil 4th tier is not a real league but more a cup with teams qualifying from the state championships. In order to properly do this, I would need to do also the state leagues (5th tier). I therefore opted not to create this at this time, because the effort is too high.
CHL.fmf	Chile	[1] Primera Division [2] Primera Division B [3] Segunda Division [4] Tercera Division A [Cup] Copa Chile (*) [Cup] Supercopa	(*) refactored Copa Chile to 2023 format (incl. preliminary round for 4th tier teams) All other competitions from FM24 unchanged
-	Colombia		No rule file: 3rd tier in Colombia is complex with 166 teams. The effort was too high (and there are no promotions to 2nd tier)
