Can't scout certain countries

This is one we are aware of and so we are investigating it further.

Any update as it seems to be happening quite regular?

Apologies, it's due to there not being any viable players to scout - we're looking to add a tooltip to make this clearer, but it's not necessarily a bug because even with the changes, they will still be greyed out.

How can that be?

I'm having the same problem in my save and I can't scout Senegal, AFCON Champions, in my save.

I get Afghanistan or the Maldives being zeros, but why wouldn't there be viable players to scout from Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Congo, Ghana ect?  In real life there are absolutely guys in those countries.  Always bothered me I couldn't have more African signings, especially because I feel like the game doesn't generate enough dual citizen kids from your local youth recruitment (for example, any club in the Lisbon area should have lots of dual citizen Portugal + Cabo Verde,Guinea-Bissau, Angola, Sao Tome, Brasil, kids but doesn't so much in FM)

Japan too, I get FM can't do real Japanese leagues for contractual reasons, but you'd think you could have the game generate fake Japanese kids to sign?
