    Description of issue

    Not sure if this is intentional based on the new Champions League format which goes into effect after the 2024/2025 season, but the Random Drawing in the knockout stages, well to put bluntly is not random anymore after the Round 16. 

    The Round of 16 draw is random as teams will pair up from the seeded group and the non-seeded group, but when it's time for the QF and SF draws, whatever the brackets were as of the Round of 16, is the way they will draw for the QF and SF will be always, is this intentional? or a bug? Or else what's the point of having a draw presentation for the QF and SFs if we know the outcomes already? Please see screenshots that support this theory my hope is this is not intentional, as from all the info I've read on the new UEFA format, it states the knockout stages remain the same, so not sure what's up here.

    Hello @mp84

    Thank you for raising this to us.

    The reason these are not in the game currently is that there are still unknowns surrounding the draw. (as the new format is yet to happen in real life yet)

    Once we get confirmation that these draw will take place in real life we can look to add them in the future.

    I said it before: the information you need is available. UEFA has posted the regulation of the 3 club tournaments online. It's a matter of reading it and you know how the competition will evolve.

     

    Champions League: Regulations of the UEFA Champions League • Reader • UEFA Documents

    Europa League: Regulations of the UEFA Europa League • Reader • UEFA Documents

    Conference League: Regulations of the UEFA Conference League • Reader • UEFA Documents

     

    Only thing that can (and probably will) change, is the number of teams in the qualifying rounds. But that rebalancing also is explained in the documents, or take a look at the website of Bert Kassies, who has very reliable information from within UEFA: Seeding in the Champions League 2024/2025 (kassiesa.net)

    So there are no excuses really to wait for the draw to happen. If you wait that long, you won't be able to implement it in FM25 alltogether.
