Hello everyone,
vote for Update 19 was won by Switzerland+ so it will be done for this update.
In Update 18 will be added Slovakia+, Lithuania+, Canada, Djibouti, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, W Bhutan and W Chinese Taipei.
Slovakia+ - added everything around level 5
Lithuania+ - added everything around level 5
Canada - added level 2, added version with promotion/relegation with level 1
Djibouti - added level 1 + cup + super cup
Chinese Taipei - added 2 levels, added highschool league, added youth league
Thailand - added 3 levels + cup + league cup + super cup + level 3 league cup, added U21 and U18 leagues
W Bhutan - added level 1
W Chinese Taipei - added level 1
This week is mainly about Slovakia and level 5 in that country. Added are all missing things in level 5 (clubs, cities, stadiums). Added are some more history to competitions.
Another database with "+" in this update is Lithuania where is added level 5 and everything around it. Promotion/Relegation is kind of more complicated there, because it's based on if teams will get licence for next level, so added promotion/relegation in game is more customized.
Big rework of things is in Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), they changed format of leagues to autumn/spring. Football there is still in very early stages so it's more amateur than professional. Added are levels + Highschool League + Youth Cup. Normally lots of teams don't have youth teams, but for better gaming experience it is changed so every team have youth team (except University Teams). Added are more informations to all teams.
In Thailand there are again some changes with rules and finances, there is new TV deal so finances little bit changed in levels 1-3. From 2026/27 season there are changes in foreign player rules, which are added. For now only levels 1-3 are added, becase level 4 still didn't start and there are no informations about teams and format of competition, so it will be added later.
Canada is in basic database very weirdly done, so only 2 levels are added (technically added is one level 3 league from Ontario, but there should be more leagues, so it has level 3 of one of the regions).
Djibouti is one of the smaller nations in Africa, league is more on amateur level, added are again more informations to all teams.
From women's leagues this time is added Bhutan and Chinese Taipei, both have only one level in database (with missing teams).
In Update 19 will be added Switzerland (level 7), it has 40 divisions so it's on the bigger side of the workload. There might be some smaller databases added for FM26, but there will be new update for FM24, where there will be added updated databases, I plan to update Belgium with adding the new format from 2026/27, I plan to updat Thailand with new rules/finances, I have already prepared updated Vietnam with new rules and added rivalries and there will be updated again nations that were made for FM26 where were big changes.
Voting for Update 20 will have Türkiye (level 5 with the format changes that will happen between seasons), Canada+ (level 4), Hong Kong (full adult system + youth system), South Korea (with added format changes from 2027) and Brazil+ (adding Serie D + all State levels + youth systems).
As always thank you for your support and I wish you nice weekend :)
