Okay so most of the data about the teams and which leagues is actually best found here: https://www.voetbalinbelgie.be/competities/

Attatched is the Belgian league's rule book regarding competitons. Every other part is found here: https://www.voetbalvlaanderen.be/competitie/bondsreglement

Now i am willing to do this myself but i don't have experience in how to setup the correct path for all the changes or the additions and how to execute everything correctly so that all works and keeps working. I assume there is no manual or instruction video or something on how you guys actually work your magic here?

In the FM26 official database, there are six levels of Belgium represented. Level 5 (Belgian Third Amateur Division, which comprises the VV & ACFF divisions) is the bottom level that has ‘accurate’ team assignments.

Level 6 is represented by one regional ‘division’ for each of 11 regions. However, the teams assigned into each of those regional divisions are all of the teams from that regional pyramid, as best I can tell from a quick look. For example, Antwerpen Provincial Division contains 116 teams.

Building out a fully-playable lower set of levels in Belgium would be a fair bit of work. I'm personally not in a position to do it as I haven't made the switch to FM26, yet. I have done some of the FM24 league expansions that are part of this site's data update - but the work gets exponentially bigger as you move into regional competitions with lots of teams.

Okay understandable, the question i have is how do you develope these leagues normally, is this with XML files or with the FM editor, or both? For example is someone is willing i would be fully available to provide the data in Excell or some other format that is needed so that this part of the time consuming job would be covered

@Dario Neyts can you give some more specific examples? Just saying “I have seen some errors” but then not describing them and expecting other people to figure it out themselves from a screenshot is going to slow things down alot.

It's not clear if you're saying that every single league is wrong or if there are just a few mistakes within each league.

Hi Yeah so i believe this is not even from Sortitoutsi but i can't find where i've got it from but i have a Datafile called België which contains the lower divisions but all the teams are scrambled. Provincial teams from the Flemmish side are mixed in with Walloon teams which contradicts the whole Provincial competitions. So firstly i'm not sure if the database actually contains these leagues normally (would be great if they would) and secondly to list all would be a big search. I would love to list it all but then it would be more handy to tell me how to best list everything.

Attatched i've put the “FM24 Chielen's Total Belgian Lower League Overhaul” as refference as to what i'm looking for in FM26. If this is easyly adjusted for FM26 please show me how.

The 2nd file is the file i'm talking about as i believe this is where the Provincial leagues are located.

Thanks in advance to take look into this as i'm sure i won't be the only player looking for these leagues

Would it be possible to check the Provincial leagues in Belgium? I've noticed some errors here in the clubs and the divisions. For a perfect overview we have this site in Belgium for this: https://www.vbal4.be/p0103.htm

I will also put all the Flemish leagues below(i can also give the Walloon leagues but then this post will be really really long):

Antwerp
