FM21 - Dodgee Gamer’s International Competitions Megapack 2021-04-07

Welcome Dodgee Gamer’s International Competitions Megapack and unlock new senior and youth tournaments for your international management save.

NOTE! Some of the more recently created files are only available for the 21.4 updates. Make sure you start a new save with the latest database if you want the full experience!

International management has always been one of my favourite challenges on Football Manager. While it lacks the depth of the club game, it allows for a change of pace and it makes for a fun second save.

Of course, the major continental championships are all in the game such as the Euros, Copa America, and AFCON. Minor competitions such as the UEFA Nations League and the Asian sub-confederation tournaments are also in the vanilla game, but several regular tournaments are missing.

I have therefore delved into the editor to create 50+ additional senior and youth tournaments to expand your international management options.


Which Competitions are included in this collection?

The initial megapack (compatible with 21.0 and listed further down this post) contained 21 senior and youth tournaments. Since then, thanks to messages and suggestions from the FM community, I have found many more!

I have therefore now made 3 different collections:

International Competitions Collection (19 real senior tournaments and friendly competitions)
Youth Competitions Collections (more than 20 tournaments for age groups from U18 to U23)
Bonus Competitions Collections (10+ past or fictional tournaments)
More competitions are being made and added all the time so subscribe to the Steam collections to stay up to date. If you have any requests or suggestions for an international tournament to be created, join my discord.
