Hi all, I’ve been working on a number of background projects, this one is adding competition pictures to the background of various club and international competitions throughout the game, I’ve been doing this for my own personal use, but decided to share with the community. All are 2560x1600 at 227px, which is basically MacBook Pro Retina size, so the quality is superb in most instances. They have been compressed to their smallest file size without loss of quality. It's currently 417 pictures strong (around 138mb in file size) but I am however happy to update this over time, likewise if you notice any errors or any additions you'd like please let me know in this thread and I'll correct/add them. I've also added in the newly created UEFA Europe Conference League as a placeholder, and will update once official branding becomes available. Steps to add to your game; 1. Download here 2.

Hi all, I’ve been working on a number of background projects, this one is adding countries flags to the background of all international football teams throughout the game, I’ve been doing this for my own personal use, but decided to release this for the community. I've continued this on from FM19 and updated, all are 2560x1600 at 227px, which is basically MacBook Pro Retina size, so the quality is superb in most instances. They have been compressed to their smallest file size without loss of quality.

Nations Teams pack is 227 pictures (298mb in file size). Continents Pack is 7 pictures (1.1mb in file size).

Background images are just from Google search, aspect-ratio-scaled down to 1280x800, good quality and compressed to their smallest file size without loss of any quality, with a logo in the bottom right. These backgrounds will show on the "nation" and "team" (main, u21, u20, u19, u18 etc) screens but not the "stadium" screen, so it's compatible with other stadium background packs. You obviously need to use a transparent skin to be able to view these in game. I will have this completed in the next few days.
