Description of issue
There are a couple of issues regarding which European teams are invited to the Club World Cup.
ISSUE 1: On a holiday save with just the English leagues loaded, I noticed that West Ham always qualified for the 2022 Club World Cup, as one of five English teams in the competition.
I can understand Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham being invited as recent Champions Cup finalists, but West Ham have achieved nothing in Europe in recent years, and they didn't go very far in the 2021/2022 EURO Cup in-game. I can't really see the logic in inviting them.
ISSUE 2: This was a bug I previously reported on FM21 Mobile. The 2025 Club World Cup included an Albanian team (Tirana), even though Albania wasn't hosting the tournament, and no Albanian teams had come close to reaching a Champions Cup Final between 2022 and 2025.
I presume there's an issue with how the game decides which European teams to invite if there are any spare places (i.e. if fewer than eight different clubs qualified for the 2022 to 2025 Champions Cup Finals). If there are 1 or 2 vacancies, teams from Albania fill in the gaps. If there are 3 or even 4 vacancies, teams from Armenia are invited too.
Would it be possible to change this so that teams are invited based on reputation or UEFA coefficients or even through winning the EURO Cup... rather than because their country's name comes first alphabetically?
Steps To Reproduce:
ISSUE 1
Start a new save with the English leagues loaded. Then holiday until the end of May 2022 and check the list of teams who've qualified for the Club World Cup.
ISSUE 2
Load the save file provided. Holiday for two or three weeks, then check the list of qualifiers for the 2025 Club World Cup.
