African/Asian merged journeyman

[Dannufc1992]

Never really see these so thought id try one and post it as I like trying new or unusual leagues. I started an Asian / African merged journeyman as an unemployed manager with a custom downloaded database I have every country available to add in and out. My list of current playable leagues are below.

We started in pre season 2024 unemployed and we got a job at a club in the Jordanian first divison (top division) with a club called Shabab Al Ordon. Media predicted 12th which is bottom of the league and currently we going into the winter break of the season currently top of the league! Massively over achieving as board wastes avoid relegation.

Jordanian cup competitions are below also which we didn’t win any but we got super close to the final but played one of the best teams in jordan Al Hussein. Focus for me is mainly on the league anyway.

We have quite an aging squad so need reinforcements for next season with some younger legs and only allowing Jordanian goalkeepers in the league is a cool quirk.

I’ll update the final table at the end of the season. Hopefully we get a continental competition place

journeyman end of season 1:

After such a good first half of the season Being top at the start of the winter break the second half we seemed to run out of steam and we ended up finishing 5th but as you can see the points were so tight and we didn’t qualify for a continental competition place. Not happy from my point of view as we were up there and seeemingly threw it away but for a club and board perspective we smashed expectations out the park. It still hurts though.

You can see our last game we needed to win and some favours and we lost to Al wehdat who did go on to qualify but they score two very fortunate penalties which I was not happy about but all in all we didn’t play well enough to win anyway.
Small mention for our striker being third top scorer in the league at 36 years old.

Something interesting did happen however Al Faisaly were relegated but at the start of the season they were favourites to win the league!

We will see what jobs come available and if any take my fancy if not we will build and go again next year.

New countries playable: Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania
Removing: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Mali

Africa/Asia merged journeyman update:

So I was looking around and applied for a few jobs to seen what could happen. We got interviewed by this team right here Al Qadsia in Kuwait and I thought this might be similar level to us now . To my amazement they offered me a job with 6.5m transfer budget! In Jordan we only had 26k. Easy yes.

Signed for them and they have a strong bank account of 11m so this certainly a step up. They finished 4th last year in Kuwait so no continental competitions for us but we will see how we do in the three cups and the league this season. The club eBay us to be competitive in all fronts and only a mid table finish of the league. Very decent goals to achieve there. Now to get going analyse what we have and see if I can do any deals.

No winter break in this schedule so I’ll make my own and do an update around December/ January time. Here we go! Kuwait 2025/2026

Yeah I wanted to try these leagues as not many people do and there is a lot of clubs I don’t know

African/asian update season 2: 2025/2026 mid season January



So we moved to Kuwait with Qadsia and they had a healthy bank balance of 11m and a good transfer budget of 6.5m which was a great start considering in Jordan we only had 28k transfer Budget. only 5 foreigners allowed so I did a few moves and made space for a foreign goalie and a foreign striker as my options up top weren’t great considering by best striker was 49yo.



Signing Al-Ghassani from a club in Oman for a fee of only 58k was a great piece of business currently he’s our teams top scorer in the league with 7 goals which isn’t bad at all. Goalkeeper free agent signing Gohari had also been excellent only conceding 10 goals which is the best in the league. Shout to our LB Al-Dhafeeri who’s the leading assister in the league with 8.



As you can see we currently sit 2nd a point behind league favourites Al -Arabi with a game in hand. This is great considering we were tipped at the start to be 4th/5th. Below is a screen grab of our match against Al -Arabi and I took it because what a game it was we went behind and down to ten men and still managed to win 3-1 against the titles favourites. We have scored the most in the league too with 29 goals in 9 games.



As for other competitions. Kuwait crown cup. The last time the club were in a final was 2020 and we were runners up and the last time the club won it was 2017. A emphatic 7-3 win against league strugglers Khaitan sent us to the final for the first time as a club in 5 years as we face league title favourites Al Arabi. That game is scheduled for February 3rd so you’ll see if we win it in the end of season update.



We are also in Kuwait federations cup which I haven’t really been to fussed about in all honesty and it is split into two groups. currently we are 2nd after 5 games and I think we need to play two more but that’s in the new year.



All in all great season so far and surpassing expectations. We will see what January brings and if any new players and maybe a trophy or two.

African/asian journeyman update end of season 2025/2026 Qadsia:

So what a season! As you can see we won rhe championship round meaning we won the league for the first time since 2015. What an achievement. We won it with two games to go and a great few results over title favourites Al Arabi.

I won’t go through them all but you can see all the stats from the team and players below in the screenshots. shout out to the top goal scorer in the league our striker Al Gassani what a signing he’s been. Also the LB assist master Al Dhafeeri won top assister in thr league too.
This is simply a great achievement and I’ve throughly enjoyed the season in Kuwait from not knowing any player or any club and now to win the league. Loved it.

With finishing 1st we also get a birth in the AFC challenge group stage. This will be a great adventure for us and I’m lolling forward to it.

We also won manager of the season which was an honour to recieve with us defying the odds of winning the league despite not being in the top 3 favourites to win it all.

Special mention to our veteran CB Sergio Vittor he retired at the end of this season but what a fitting end to score the last goal of the game on his final game in the 5-1 victory over salmiya.

Thanks for people who are following this as I’ve not done this in a long time and it’s great to share these new adventures and my experiences with you guys.

Heres to next season and the AFC challenge league 2026/2027
