Yes you're file does work in game. I've gone up to 2041 and all is still working. Re the Club World Cup. I think I've managed it. I just thought why am I trying to verify the file when the original wasn't but still works? And hey, it still works !!!! I managed to remove your deletion of the tournament and then unticked the extinct box. I did nothing else just saved your file. Then on starting up a new game I chose both files, as you suggested above, and it works in game. So now I have my 32 teams world cup, and an annual club world cup, and all the other bits and bobs in between. Thankyou.

I was trying to see if I can activate the club world cup in order to use my file with yours, however I see your file is not verified in the editor. I tested the rules but an error got thrown up. Yet your file works in the game! What would I need to do to get your file to verify in the editor?

Good work @Tonton-Oni. I've been keen to find a 32 team world cup. I'll give this a download. Check out my 6 team club world cup. Feel free to try and incorporate it into your file. I gave up trying to get the 7 team tournament to work properly, but if you want to use mine as a template to get to 7 teams then go for it.

I have added awards to the competitions (except the super cup). A new download link has been added.

The editor had kindly already done that for me!

Yeah I managed to get the extinct tick to stick, but the competition still ran in testing! (The 'Yes' refers to 'Is Extinct?')

Well you got my hopes up as I did what you said there and I was able to enable the tick. But.... despite the squad rules being saved they do not appear in the test.

That might lead to a new keyboard having to be ordered if I'd lost 10 months of work. At least I'd only lost an hour or so.

Incidentally I was also trying to make the club world championship extinct but after saving in the editor before testing it was unticking the extinct box to make the competition active again. Something going on when I save a file in the editor. I don't know what's going on, as twice during editing and saving the editor changed the unique ID of my created competition thus rendering it useless as the game couldn't read it as ID was wrong. I have to save files extremely frequently otherwise all the work would be wasted. All this only happened to me last night.

Yes it was an fm22 bug. And I tried to put them into the competition as well but then I cannot activate the options under fixture rules. They stay greyed out and clicking the clear box in the top right hand corner doesn't do anything. The tick won't appear.

Has anyone else had this issue where after saving the fixture rules, that they actually disappear? They disappear on a Club World Cuptournament that I have created from scratch. Also similarly, when I edit the tournament (Club World Championship, Unique ID 121092), the fixture rules (Squad selection rules) don't work despite the amendments being visible in the Fixture Rules section of the editor, but not visible in the rules section in the game. I am quite puzzled and wonder if it is a bug?

there you go

I love the look of this. One question... Your download on this page starts with an x. I saw on another thread you posted a download with a z at the start. Is that a newer version?

You may well be right with regards the base years and current years. I set up club world cup fixture rules using base year dates. I instructed the tournament to start in 2022, and the date range was Feb 1 to Feb 1. So this in effect was asking the tournament to start in the 22/23 season, and to be played in February 2023. However in game, the tournament begins on 21st January. That date is not in my fixture rules at all.

Nothing easy in the editor LOL. What is easier to master, chess or the editor?

One thing I've often wondered about is the start date , and end date in the requirements section from the op's screenshot above. I follow the base year rules throughout, but have always put start and end dates with the real years. Should I be using the base dates instead? For example if I want a tournament to take place from 2023 onwards (the 2nd season) should my start date be set to 2001? I'm sure I tried that before when setting the club world cup dates and it didn't work, but putting 2023 in, did work. Likewise when setting the year dates in the stadium rules for host nations.

In game, as in real life, the FIFA Club World Cup is expanding and being played every 4 years. I don't like it. I prefer the annual version. Last year I produced the 7 team version that has been in place, off and on, for the last 2 decades. I struggled to replicate that in this year's iteration. That 7th team (the host team), was playing havoc with the semi final draws, and also when the host team was a major nation, the team entering was a top team which made a mockery of the tournament, as they would frequently go on to win it. So I decided to do away with the host nation entering a team. This leaves a 6 team tournament. The 6 continental winners. Europe and South America enter at the semi final stage and do not face each other, as in real life. The first season plays in late January due to the World Cup (I tried hard to make it February but the editor didn't play ball with me). This causes a fixture headache for Real Madrid as they're in the midst of Copa del Rey matches. After that, the competition is played every mid December. Known Issues: The editor ignores my Host nation selections, therefore the hosts are random. This means you will get big nations hosting as well as small. The squad selection rules do not work. The venue of the final listed on the Past Winners History page sometimes shows different to where the final was played. Right country though! Hungary seems to be a devil for this. On occasion the whole tournament is played in 1 stadium. I noticed this with Windsor Park, N Ireland in one test save. This must be because there aren't many great stadia to use (sorry Northern Ireland! ) Enjoy ! FIFA Club World Cup - 6 team version 23.5.fmf

Will this be corrected in the next update?

As yet, I have not played fm23, just editing, so I have not added any name fixes yet. SEP is SE Palmeiras if you were puzzled. I have paracetamol handy for my fm32 headache!

You sir, @rusty217, are a gentleman and a scholar! The Asian CL was indeed the source of the problem. Thankyou. Changing to fixed rules, however, stops the competition taking part, it even disappears from the menu in the game. I've had that problem before in earlier incarnations of this file when I switched to fixed. Going back to flexible makes the competition appear again, but as you say, with it ignoring my hosts.

That screenshot is the test events list for the 2024 competition that should have been played in December. It was played in May 2025.

Thanks @Wolf_pd. I have spent this evening re-doing the competition in club continental rules. But still no joy. Exactly the same problems. If anyone could take a look at this file I'd be very appreciated. Test results show the fixture dates to be correct but they are actually played in May. It now has rules it can relate to in fixtures and discipline, but still no different. I'm quite confused. Test results indicate allocation of teams several months late. Would that suggest I have dates wrong somewhere? I would have thought an error would pop up in that case. 8.2 fcwc iclub continental rules.fmf

Ok, Final question before I rework this one more time. Should the Club World Championship be treated as an International Rules or Club Continental Rules in the editor?

Just thinking about it....I think I started this file in Nations Rules. Is that where my problems lie? Should I have used Continental or International? Is that why I cannot see the fixtures rules or discipline rules?
