THIS IS PRESENTLY BROKEN. I am working on testing a fix. See comments for the issue discovered. I will have a new version, fixed, up and running asap.
UPDATE: To my increasing frustration I can't find a work around or what is causing the issue. I have tried everything I can think of and will continue to look into it. If anyone has an idea feel free to look into it and message me.
So the description says it all.
There is only one International competition, held yearly in a completely random host nation, contested between 225 nations over two and a half months. The World Cup has become literally the biggest sporting spectacle.
![]()
One hundred (random) teams enter into the first prelim round, a straight knockout
![]()
Those who win through are met by another 100 teams, totaling 150 teams in the round, for the second prelim knockout round
![]()
The remaining 25 teams go straight into the final Prelim with the 75 survivors for a group stage, one match between each team in the group with 40 teams total heading for the next round.
Another group round,8 groups of five with the top two passing through to the final phases and back to back knockout rounds narrowing the final 16 to one Champion.

I haven't extensively tested this yet but in the test run I did it worked perfectly though the tournament was in full swing when the game starts at the standard English start. The only issue I can see is that the tournament doesn't hold to my scheduling, which was meant to wrap the tournament up by mid July to allow players to return to their clubs for the new seasons preparations but it did conclude before August began so it shouldn't pose a MAJOR problem.
This is a personal project that I personally enjoy so I thought I'd share it. It also does away with that pesky African Nations cup stealing your players in January and any matches taking place during the season will be friendlies allowing you to tell a player to withdraw or only play 45 minutes.
I hope you enjoy![:)]()
2) Move it to your editor data folder (create that folder if it doesn't exist):
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\editor data
3) Start new game in regular career mode (doesn't work with FMC) and activate the International Override database (is compatible with other databases).
