Football Manager rule files for UEFA v24.5

In this package, you will find rule files for UEFA 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 and Research

All rules files have been tested in the editor and in 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.

Credits and thank you's

• Daveincid, for his support, advice and testing
• Nuno from Portugal, for research and testing
• Lars for testing
