Introduction
We are going into the next round! After I already introduced you to the world of the most bizarre countries in the world with my editor knowledge in FM21 and FM22 (unfortunately not completely), it is now time to do the same in FM23. 81.5 hours of "playing time" in my Football Manager 2023 editor already and that can only mean one thing: the AroundTheGlobe megapack is growing and growing. Whether I'm reading the league rules of the Armenian league with my non-existent knowledge of Armenian or looking up the game mode of the football league in South Sudan on 14 different pages, there is always something to do. However, all this work is by no means pointless, because with my files I contribute to the level of education of quite a few FM users, because no one can tell me that they have never read up on the starting country of their FM save as if it were a doctoral thesis. But enough about me, you are not here because of my words, but because of my files. - The earth is round, so is football. Have fun with it. 😉
Introduction - Content
We have now arrived at FM23 and once again my goal is to make all countries of the six continents playable for you. A huge task, but one that can be mastered in any case thanks to my enjoyment of the editor. As in previous years, the files will be divided into three versions (see below). Also this year, there will be the well-known extra files, but this time already in version 1, version 2 (if these file(s) work) and also in version 3. Altogether, there will be more than 200 files again, which should bring the game enjoyment of the FM to the next level.
Confederation of African Football - Version 2
Asian Football Confederation - Version 2
Union of European Football Associations - Version 1
Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football - Version 3
Oceania Football Confederation - Version 2,5
Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol - Version 1
Now we come to the further drivel that so and so hardly anyone will read 😛
Realism is written in capital letters for me, because without realism the fun of the game suffers extremely and the FM is supposed to be fun.
In order to guarantee realism, all files have been and will be created in the extended rules of the editor (well, the basic rules can't do anything either ;D) and mainly contain changes in the following areas:
- Squad registration rules (foreigner rules, age restrictions).
- Realistic league formats, for example Apertura/Clausura and whatever else the football associations have come up with.
- Realistic TV money*
- Realistic prize money**
- VAR (Video Assistant Referee) added
- New clubs - if the researchers have messed up again
- TV broadcasts added
- Added academy leagues in countries where it is necessary (mainly Africa and Asia)
My work is still closely linked to that of @Daveincid. Its Megapack is fully compatible with mine and its use is highly recommended for ideal play fun.
* Real values when sources are available. Calculated values according to the average expenditure of a nation (wages etc.) to ensure that clubs are represented as realistically as possible financially.
** Real values when sources are available. Calculated similarly to TV money to ensure balance.

* For India, I have created the entire league system from scratch meaning I’ve removed all of the default database changes created by Sports Interactive.
** The only current information known from North Korea is that the league is playing in the current season. However, there is no information on which teams are participating, etc. Therefore, it was decided to include two files in the pack. One file without any league and one file with a “fantasy league” (the latest information). In this way, everyone can decide for themselves which variant to use. ONLY ONE OF THE TWO FILES SHOULD BE LOADED!

The update came out and the files are no longer working. When can we expect the leagues to be updated?
Binabul_
Man 🙂 they like to tease Dave, after V2 they release Winter update then after fix the data with V3 they release the final update 😢
Joel Micallef
It's a simple fix! Go to your editor where the files are kept and re-test them yourself it's easy and takes about 45 mins to update all the leagues and files. You just run the test in the advanced editor!
Joel Micallef
It's such and easy fix! I'm not the greatest with the editor but even I knew it was a file sync that was needed if you just read your screen when trying to load the leagues!
I agree, Dave needs a vacation after his V3!
Binabul_
how can I do the re-test
is their any steps how to do it
Joel Micallef
Do you have the Editor? If so load up your Editor, from there you go to LOAD EDITOR DATA in the drop down menu in the upper left hand corner. Click on ( LOAD EDITOR DATA ) and you'll see all the data (Leagues - Nations) that you've downloaded from Dave's Around the world file. Click on them one by one to load up a single file. Once loaded go to the second bar on the upper left hand side, in the drop down menu you'll see TEST RULES. Click on ( TEST RULES ) and let it run it's test. Once the test is done, re-save the file and it'll work within your game!

I have gone ahead and verified all the files (took a bit longer than 45 minutes, I'm probably not doing it very efficiently) some I had to load a couple of times as they threw up errors. There is one that is giving me some hassle and I'd like some advice on. I just can't seem to get rid of that error.
Binabul_
thanks you are the GOAT 🙂

a team went bust if you go on here last page read comments theres a fix https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/570642-fm23-aroundtheglobe-megapack-by-davetheeditor/page/3/#comment-13980991
Andy_M
Worked a treat, thank you.
Joel Micallef
To rid yourself of the errors, you need some basic understanding of the Editor itself. To talk you through it would take a while as each of the leagues that has minor changes needs minor tweaks… I'm glad you been able to rectify most of the problems though!
Joel Micallef
Not a GOAT! But thanks for the compliment, I have very basic knowledge of how the editor works as I'm not very good with computers… Just trying to help as I know it can be frustrating. Guys like Dave are the goat!
Joel Micallef
The OFC file is tricky! it took me 30 mins just to figure it out myself! That one Dave would have to walk you through as I what did is probably not accurate!
Andy_M
It's been sorted, mush7 pointed me in the right direction.
Laurent Czerwinski
Hey Dave, what about my question of last week: what about north america leagues?
You seem not to be really motivated by thyis continent… Thrue?
You want help?
Joel Micallef
It usually appears in V3 along with Oceania. But he forwarded Oceania in a 2.5 version. He's most likely working on the final product of V3…
_daviie_
The Update for 23.4 is out now! Have fun. 😉
_daviie_
If I am motivated or not is not the problem. The problem are my time resources right. But I will finish V3. 😉
Laurent Czerwinski
As said, if you need help, I'm OK
tunc.ozturk.98
Any chance you can add lower leagues in USA?
Joel Micallef
I'm Working on a USA database system, it won't be 100% accurate, I've take some liberties to clean up the mess. The leagues will be 99% accurate and some added cups and full U19 youth systems. The MLS, USLC, USL1, USL2 will all be as accurate as possible… If your interested let me know!
Rimmshot1973
Interested.
Joel Micallef
It'll probably be about another 4 weeks as I'm putting the finishing touches on the U19 and building my way up to MLS division by division!
Christos Sergides
Hello. I downloaded the pack but the players in Cyprus League are not up to date. Have i done something wrong? Because a friend of mine has downloaded the same pack but his is working. Can you help me?
Alejandro Gomez
Hi. Got a question, can u update the fixtures so every year is not like the World Cup gonna take place in November haha
FM Bard
Have been using mods forever but I have to confess I'm slightly confused with the file structure. What do we use? Cheers
Izzulhelmy

Grimxdays_live#8350
The Oceania Champions League Squad Registration never comes up, I've reached my first group stage match and I'm stuck because I have no players registered.
Any work around?
Joel Micallef
Hey Dave,
No rush but I always to to time my American expansion with your north American release, rough ETA? Thanks mate!
Luke Beadle
Any update on V3? USA here :-p
