Correct (non-sponsor) league names


ElQuapo

Recommended Posts

I would like to put together an update that gives all the leagues in the game their real names.

I know this has been done, but the updates I have seen give the leagues their current sponsor names. What I am looking for is the name leagues are known as historically or what they would be called were they not sponsored.

This would be nice, as I personally find it unrealistic that leagues, which in reality might change sponsor names every few years, in the game will be known by their current sponsor name for eternity.

I have started compiling a list myself - any help would be much appreciated :)

European Champions Cup = UEFA Champions League

Are you making this into an LNC file? If so, are you going to make it available to others?

If I ever finish it I will make it available :-)

If you still have it available, you can use the FM09 LNC file with correct league names.....just edit the ones that need editing like the Europa league

But is there one with non-sponsor names?

The ones I have seen have the Danish League as "SAS Ligaen", the EPL as "Barclays Premier League" etc.

Croatia

First Division - T-Com Prva Hrvatska Nogometna Liga (T-Com 1. HNL)

Second Division - Druga Hrvatska Nogometna Liga (2. HNL)

Croatian Cup - Hrvatski Nogometni Kup

Croatian Supercup - Hrvatski Nogometni Superkup

Only without the T-Com, if we're trying to avoid sponsors.

After the first two, there go:

Treca Hrvatska Nogometna Liga Istok (3. HNL East),

Treca Hrvatska Nogometna Liga Zapad (3. HNL West),

Treca Hrvatska Nogometna Liga Jug (3. HNL South).

After those, there comes the Cetvrta Hrvatska Nogometna Liga (4. HNL), but I don't know how it's divided.

@Dave

That file uses sponsor league names - I am trying to do non-sponsor names :)

It is unrealistic that the leagues have sponsor names, as these change all the time IRL, while in the game for example the EPL will called "Barclays Premier League" for ever and ever...

But thanks anyway :)

Not as annoying as English people think their league is the only Premier League in Britain - it is because of them so many people think the Premier League is the Scottish Premier League (funny enough our top league being called the Premier League is a lot older than England's - just our owners are younger). :thup:

But I'm not bitter ;)

On a sidenote, I'm always amazed that people in the UK think that La Liga is the correct name for the Primera División.

That's about the same as naming the English Premier League something like The League.

Wikipedia says the league is commonly known as "La Liga" - but I will use "Primera División" if you say that is more correct :)

The last four don't have sponsor names, they stay the same

It is commonly knows as "La Liga" with one minor addition. Only in the UK :D

One quick way to discover that is if you check the same article in different languages (for instance the errm Spanish one ;))
