The Sammarinese Challenge

The Challenge

The basic idea is that you manage both the San Marino club side, (who start the game in Lega Pro Girone B), and the San Marino National Team, using the players produced by an improved club academy to benefit the NT in a long-term save. If you are just interested in a challenge that will take you a few seasons then this ISN'T for you. It is likely to be measured in terms of decades rather than seasons because it is likely that you will be the only club producing players of a sufficient quality to impact on the NT as soon as your NT gains any real level of success.


The Club



San Marino Calcio, (nicknamed Titani in English translates to The Titans). The club was founded as Società Sportiva Serenissima in 1960 by the San Marino Football Federation, in order to have a team representing the Republic of San Marino in the Italian league.. They have never played higher than Lega Pro Girone B, (where they are now), and have stayed in the same division as last year due to re-shuffle. They play within the Italian structure, (the only San Marino club to do so), and they are also the only professional football club in San Marino.

The Challenge Rules:

• No Limits on how many leagues you can load.
• No FMRTE or Genie Scout whatsoever.

Setting Up

You can run as many leagues in as many nations as you want, but in order for San Marino to be active you need to load at least down to Lega Pro.

After you have selected the Nations that you want to start the game with, press "Next - New Game Overview". From there click on the "Database Size" tab, and then select "Advanced" at the bottom of the sub-menu. It will then allow you to include some options that may assist you within your game.

*Note - You might have to wait until the league add on for the San Marino league becomes available for FM15.

Italy condensed all of it's third division into one "Lega Pro" now, with three groups. The direct winner of each group is promoted, while the next three teams in each group face off in a promotion playoff along with two teams from Serie B trying to stave off relegation. relegation from Lega Pro drops you straight into Serie D, unlike seasons past where you fell into a regional Lega division.

San Marino Calcio is designated "Lega Pro/ Group B".
