Second leg - Through to the next round Everything went well in this match, and we're through to the next round where we meet Olympiakos. I'm guessing we're gonna have to try and not make a new record for most goals and biggest loss in that one. Every single one of their players is paid more than our whole wage budget. Still we're through to the next round and this means that we're guaranteed at least a playoff match for the Conference League now, and a lot of money.

We hammered them at home! Ibrahimi on fire once again and the whole team actually did very well. Lincoln has lots of "grey" players who aren't that good, but a few very good players for this level who could be a threat. Great result, and we hope for the same in a week.

(H) Lincoln Red Imps Lots of changes to the starting 11 once again, and we already have a new striker for the next round of registration. We got a lot of new players in, and Alvin Daniels on the Right Wing in particular is looking good. Daniels is a Surinamese international who might just soon get his debut in the national squad. There aren't that many surinamese players in the game, and he looks decent for the level of the national squad.

We've gotten our first big name signing! And it's Maicon who is the first superstar to come to San Marino. Albeit, maybe a bit too late for him to make a real difference at the club. He does however have very nice technical and mental attribute, though his physicals reflect the attributes of a player who is almost 40. Preparations are ongoing for the two matches against Lincoln Red Imps, and the team is looking like a real contender in those two matches.

We're into the champions path! A nice victory in a match where there never were any doubts about the winner. This is news as we've gotten 100.000 euro per victory in the first two matches and we are now guaranteed at least six more european matches! And we noe have 200.000 Euro in our banking account, with at least 500.000 more to come.

Champions Path Second Preliminary round: We've said goodbye to almost everyone from the first match and have registered a much stronger squad. Once again we have presented new players after squad registration deadline: We've also said goodbye to spighi who was our best player 11 days ago. Instead the best player is for now Brijan Ibrahimi We're presenting a much stronger starting 11, but some of them won't be here should we go through to the next round.

Our first victory! An impressive performance against the Kosovian champions and we are through to the next round Our next opponent will be the faroese champions from Havnar Bóltfelag as they beat the andorran champions, and I am very hopeful for the next match as they seem to be at the same level as Prishtina, while Inter Club actually has a much stronger squad. The winner of the next round will go up against Gibraltarian Lincoln Red Imps. I actually have a good feeling about this. If we can go through the next two rounds we'll be up against Olympiakos in the second round of qualification. If things go well, the champions league adventure ends there.

Champions Path First Preliminary round: Prishtina We've gotten a much stronger team within the first few days, but most of them came after squad registration deadline: If we go through to the next round, we will be fielding a whole new starting 11. Mirco Spighi who was five stars before is now only rated three. Much has changed already. I'm digging the amateur contracts, as there are no release fees. Will be hoping we can keep the best players without other teams coming in for a free player. Starting 11 for the first match. Fingers crossed

The Squad As things are from the start we don't have anywhere near a competitive team in europe. However for San Marinese standards, these guys are predicted first. Not a lot of depth in that squad The key player (for now): A strong player for the current level of football in San Marino, but nowhere near European Football level. Speaking of european football, that is actually the reason I chose Folgore as they are guaranteed several matches which will generate money, and maybe by then we will also have made progres with our squad so that we might be able to get a few coefficient points for the nation. Rock bottom... I do however believe that if we can qualify for the champions path qualification, we can get a few points and lots of money in our finances. I will be aiming for qualification for the conference league within the first few seasons. Champions League Champions Path Qualification: In the first round of the qualification for the qualification we'll be up against the reigning kosovian champions of Prishtina. This should be doable. They seem worse than us.

Objectives Right of the bat, we will be focusing on european football. As the reigning champions of San Marino Folgore/Falciano are qualified for the Champions league Champions Path Qualification. We're not a good team, but having access to amateur contracts, we will be doing a lot of transfers (literally over a hundred), to improve the quality of players in the first team squad, so that we can be kinda competitive in european football. As such our updates will be focussing mainly on transfers, the squad and european football, as I don't feel the Santa Marinese division will be that exciting, maybe the playoff system in the late season. I made a change to the database and set up Victor San Marino into the Serie C instead of the 5th level tier, so that they will be playable in the game. (I will have an extra manager added who will be holidaying the season there in order for them to progres and hopefully become a solid team in the Serie A).

(reserved in case I need it)

The setup: I have been wanting to do a save like this for quite some time but never really got into it, and when I finally started a game (Tre Penne), I had some database issues which affected the game badly (Most teams had no youth squads, there werent any transfer deadlines and the Santa Marinese playoff system wasnt working). I have tried working with the database and those issues seem to be gone for now. Let's hope there won't be any issues with the changes I've made. I know San Marino is a small country, but I was very annoyed at the fact that there werent any U23 and U19 squads and leagues earlier, so I have set up both of them and they seem to be working. Let's hope it continues that way. The Beginning: Folgore/Falciano I've taken charge of Folgore in the early summer of 2021. Folgore are a semi-professional team, and the reigning champions of San Marino. I've taken the identity of Antonio Benedettini a highly educated former regional football player, who has taken all coaching licences. Normally I play with Danish Krone as the currency, But I will be converting to euros in the game for everyones sake (I simply forgot in the first screenshots). 4.250 DKR = 575 Eur Stature: As you can probably tell it is quite the succesfull football club We've taken over. Our transfer budget is 4K and the wage budget is 6K eur. Being a semi-professional team we're only able to sign players on amateur contracts/Pay as you play anyways, which is good since our budget is highly limited. And with all that said and done, Welcome to San Marino.
