The Prima Categoria is the fourth amateur level and seventh overall in the Italian football league system, organized by the Lega Nazionale Dilettanti through the Regional Committees. It represents the third most important tournament for them after Eccellenza and Promozione. Each individual league winner within the Prima Categoria level progresses to their closest regional league in the Promozione level.

This pack of files for Football Manager 2024, compatible with the latest patches 24.3 and 24.4, enables and makes playable the Serie D, Eccellenza, Promozione, and Prima Categoria in Italy. All introduced categories adhere to real formats and regulations. Additionally, we have corrected the format of the World Football Italian Torunament - Viareggio Cup, updated the prizes for the Coppa Italia in Serie A, added the Regional Cups of Eccellenza, and many other corrections.

We remind you that enabling all these divisions (over 1500 teams in Prima Categoria, and another 1000 teams just in Promozione) may slow down gameplay speed. Therefore, we recommend using a recent PC with good or excellent processing power.

(tested on 24.3 and 24.4)
 

AFFLUENZE E TIFOSI 1.5 (ATTENDANCES AND SUPPORTER)
Corrected and added, where missing, the actual attendance figures for many Serie D teams.
Updated the average attendance for all teams from Serie A to Serie C

AWARDS SERIE D 1.1
Several awards have been added to enhance our careers in Serie D. Players can now win the Serie D Ballon d'Or or the Young Player of the Year award (Giovani D Valore), etc. The award for the best Serie D Manager has also been included, among others.

CHAIRMAN FIX
Fixed cases where board and chairperson are simultaneously part of multiple clubs

CLUB 1.6
This file includes a series of significant changes affecting all clubs from Serie A to Serie D: morale has been updated based on the clubs' current league standings; missing founding years have been added and existing ones corrected; rivalries not previously included have now been added; and evaluations of facilities, including youth facilities, have been revised for clubs from Serie A to Serie D. Media predictions for the 23-24 season have also been updated

COLORI PRO 1.0 (COLORS PRO)
Corrected the team colors in the database from Serie A to Serie C to match their actual game kits

COLORI DIL 1.4 (COLORS SEMI-PRO)
Corrected all the kit colors of the Serie D teams according to their actual uniforms. Sought a more accurate and updated selection of the clubs' official colors in Serie D

DNA CLUB 1.0
We have reviewed the board culture of some Serie B and C clubs, and introduced new board and supporter cultures to Serie D clubs. Now, be careful when choosing a team to manage in Serie D, as the management might require something more specific from you!

DERBY 2.0
Updated the derbies of Italian teams and added some that were missing. Added reputations, where missing, to the Italian derbies.

FIX FINANZE 1.7 (FINANCE FIX)
An essential file for maintaining well-balanced finances in the lower leagues. Additional sponsors and previously unrecorded revenues have been added to some Serie C clubs. The finances of all Serie D clubs have been thoroughly updated and corrected; each team now has its own customized earnings through sponsors to avoid excessive liabilities. Updates have also been made to the records of the precarious economic situations of some Serie D clubs. Furthermore, realistic prices for tickets and season passes for each Serie D team have been implemented. All these changes allow for a much more active transfer market in the lower leagues.

FIX REGIONALITÀ 3.0  (REGIONALITY FIX)
A file that improves the distribution of clubs across various Serie D groups based on geographical areas.

Deleted some duplicate players and added some missing young talents from our championship, such as Francesco Camarda from Milan, Giulio Fardin, and other interesting youngsters from 2008. This is not a wonderkids file!

PRIMA CATEGORIA 1.1
The file that unlocks and makes playable the 7 levels of the Italian football league: introducing the 4 amateur categories of Serie D, Eccellenza, Promozione, and Prima Categoria

- Serie D consists of 9 groups.
- Serie D playoffs (as in reality, do not allow for promotion to Serie C, but are only used for possible re-admissions, which are impossible to replicate in Football Manager. However, we have included the playoffs to adhere as closely as possible to reality and to exploit greater income for the participating clubs).
- Promotion and relegation playoffs now also included as they occur in reality.
- Corrected transfer windows for amateurs and professionals.
- Correct disciplinary rules in all its phases (championship, playoffs, playouts, championship pool, and playoffs).

- Real duration of players' contracts.

STADI ITA 1.2 (ITALIAN STADIUMS)
Corrected some Italian stadiums and added some that were missing. Added a few new training grounds, such as the "SportItalia Village" for Folgore Caratese.

STADI NAZIONALI GIOVANILI (NATIONAL YOUTH STADIUM)
Corrected many stadiums around the world and made them available to host youth tournament matches.

VALUTAZIONE GIOVANI 1.6 (YOUTH RATING)
This file for FM24 slightly alters, through more precise calibration, the production of young talents born around the world, in all the various nations of the game. For instance, Argentina will now be one of the most important talent factories almost on par with Brazil and France, with a slight improvement also in the quality of players born in Morocco, Central Africa, and many other nations scattered across the globe that were otherwise excessively overlooked. For proper balancing of the game's delicate mechanics, other nations, on the contrary, will now have more difficulty producing international-level players.

zDB UPDATE 3.2 (compatible only with the Original game mode)
A substantial update to the database (players and staff) covering the first four levels of the Italian football championship, with a particular focus on Serie C and Serie D:

- Updated the most recent transfers in the Italian championship from Serie A to Serie D (as of 30.03.24)

It doesn't seem to be written that it is an Update 2024-25.
ChievoVerona will be active for the 2024/25 season. The game starts in the 2023/24 season, we clearly wrote that all the updates we made stopped at March 30, 2024, or the first days of April. Beyond that date, we didn't go further because it doesn't make much sense... we are already carefully preparing the Serie D 2024/25 for FM25.

Such impatience!

If you really want to, you can change the names of the teams you want through the pre-game editor.

Yeah thats fine, I've got no problem changing it around myself which I'm planning on doing

With your last update Congo and Nigeria is not choosable. Even some tournaments are not in the game anymore! I tried everything adding and not adding files but it seems your last update seems to be the cause. The update before this last one (4th tier?) everything worked fine. Is it possible to download the update before this last one again?

No, the cause seems to be the external files you insert into the editor data. Our files are limited to Italy, and except for the 'youth rating 1.6' file, we haven't modified anything outside of Italy. The African leagues aren't even selectable by default in the game.

Please, as we always say in our Italian community, don't blame our files if you insert many different files into Editor Data.
As you can see, there is no problem in my game.

So why is it possible to choose those countries with your 4th tier file?

Maybe we are misunderstanding each other. In my game, I have started the Prima Categoria (7th tier) and, as you can see from that screenshot, I am coaching both the Congo and Nigeria national teams without any problems or restrictions. I don't know what mess you made inside the Editor Data folder and which files you have loaded.

Edited July 13 by Cizzu

[Charles1970]

I do believe we are misunderstanding each other because what i meant was when , after choosing which editor data i want, including your 7th tier version (and no i have not made a mess inside my editor data because everything else works when i am not using your 7th tier version or when i use your 4th tier version), i am in the add/remove competitions screen. If i use your 4th tier i can choose every competition (including Congo and Nigeria) i added before but when i use your 7th tier those 2 are not choosable! This is all before i start the game and then choose which team or nation i choose to coach. I hope i made it clearer now. I think i will stick with what works for now. Just odd that the 4th tier works in adding competitions and the 7th excludes those 2! Thank you anyway for answering
