Canada not qualifying for Gold Cup
DodgeeD commented on DodgeeD's issue in North America Competition Specific Issues
Just an update on this to save opening a new thread - with the full release, this is still happening. Canada are not qualifying at all, and every so often USA and Mexico don't appear either (have simmed up to 2033) -
Canada not qualifying for Gold Cup

I had a similar issue in a save I played towards the end of FM23 - teams eliminated in the Gold Cup play-offs were then appearing in the tournament anyway. Will check my file again to see if it is happening for me in FM24 too -

DodgeeD commented on DodgeeD's issue in North America Competition Specific Issues
I have checked the save file again in 2033 and there are also a couple of instances where the USA have not qualified either - I have tried to upload the file but it is too large to attach to a comment -
Having simulated through to 2030, I have noticed the following issues with international tournament hosts, dates and formats: I appreciate these have only just been announced but Euro 2028 and World Cup 2030 in game do not have the confirmed hosts (UK & Ireland for Euro 2028; Spain, Portugal and Morocco with opening matches in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay for World Cup 2030) The 2024 AFC U23 Cup has the wrong dates set - currently in-game it runs in January 2024 at the same time as the Asian Championship, when it is scheduled for 15 April – 3 May 2024 The WAFF Championship is still using the old format (9 teams in 2 groups with the group winners contesting the final); current format (though yet to be played) is 12 nations in 3 groups of 4 with group winners and best runner-up going on to semi-finals The most recent SAFF Championship (June 2023) included guest nations to bring the numbers up to 8 (in-game at present there are only the 7 SAFF member nations) The CAF/AFC play-off is missing from Olympic Qualifying The CAF U20 Cup of Nations is using the wrong format - in-game it is 8 nations in 2 groups of 4, but the most recent edition featured 12 nations in 3 groups of 4 with top two plus 2 best 3rd-placed teams advancing to the knockout rounds Also, qualifying for the U20 Cup of Nations should be based on sub-confederation tournaments but in game is a continent-wide qualification system

I've attached screenshots showing Canada's performance in the 2025 Nations League Finals, and absence from the 2025 Gold Cup -

DodgeeD posted an issue in North America Competition Specific Issues
Having simulated the game through to the 2030, I have noticed that Canada is not appearing at the Gold Cup. They do appear in the North American Nations League, joining in the quarter-final round and making the semi-finals in each tournament so far and the final on one occasion, which should qualify them for the Gold Cup. However, they have not played in any of the three editions in game (2025, 2027, 2029). I can upload a save file if needed but this seems to be an error in the game rather than specific to this save. -

I've had a similar issue but with another competition. I've created the Central Asian Championship (international tournament) but when I test rules, it tells me the Icelandic Cup is missing a team

Last winners will not be stored - FM21
DodgeeD replied to DaveTheEditor's topic in Advanced Rules Editing
@themodelcitizenBefore I applied the above workaround, as well as history not being stored, the nation that won did not have the victory added to the nation competition history either. After the fix, they do... It's a strange bug and I have no idea what is causing it - it has happened to both competitions I have imported form earlier versions of the game and ones I have created from scratch. At the same time, other competitions I have imported or created from scratch have been fine -
I've been working on improving my international competitions for FM23, but am drawing a blank on the following despite trawling through the various squad and player rules... Is there a way to set up an Olympics style squad selection? i.e. an U23 squad with 3 overage players allowed?

Hello! I have had this issue with a number of international files I have created for FM23 (as well as some made on FM21/22 that I converted). @alian62's solution worked for my recreation of the Gulf Cup of Nations, but did not work for the other tournaments that had the issue. However, I did eventually get something that works so will share it here rather than open a new thread. Building on @Shenmue-X's suggestion, I did the following: Advanced Rules > Competition x > History > Team order for top 3 teams > Add Select "Get Teams from Cup Round" I then add competition name (might not be needed), maximum number of teams set to 2, and then relevant stage number and 'final' as round name This has worked for international tournaments with a group stage then knockouts and also for tournaments with knockout rounds only. Might be worth a try for league/play-off systems with a similar issue. Note though that it only adds the two finalists. I haven't found a way to get third place play-off winners recognised yet. -
Having simmed through a few years I have noticed the following: French Youth Invitational - group stage matches, positional play-offs and final are played in France but semi final matches are played at the home venue of one of the teams. This results in situations like USA U20s playing 3 group games in France, the semi-final in California, and then the final back in France SAFF Championship - similar issue. It seems one group stage game is played at a neutral venue and the others are home/away. In one sim, Bangladesh played their first group game away to Maldives, Sri Lanka at a neutral venue in India, and Nepal at home, with the knockout rounds held in host nation India I can provide a save file if needed but it should be easy to replicate as it happens in every single new game!
