📋 About This Mod
What is it:
These squad files contain:
- []400+ renamed generic stadiums, I wanna say over 250 generic stadiums checked for visual and size accuracy
-
[]Fixed European competition teams, so that the missing teams are replaced with teams that make sense (no Brightons)
[]Fixed Loan-to-buy - players who are supposed to join their clubs in the future on a permanent, have options, join in the future, etc.
[]e.g. Hincapie permanent in Arsenal, Rashford buy option in Barcelona, Quenda loaned from Chelsea
[]Original Squads patch is in the description of the file before download.
Full documentation: On my website and players listed on sofifa.com
Two squad files of two names:
-
[]CF-SE - Squad File with Stadiums and European Groups
[]CF-SEL - Squad File with Stadiums, European Groups and Loans and Transfer Obligations edits
How it use:
- []Put the Squad File into C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26\settings
-
[]In game, navigate to Settings -> Customize -> Profile -> Load Squads and select the squad file of choice
[
]Select "Use current" when creating a career save. This is important![]If you want to download a squad update in the future, do it through customise->edit teams->download update, that way the stadium changes and EU changes will survive. If you do it through the career mode menu they will get overwritten.
[]CAREFUL!! - there is currently a bug where when you back out of your save, the game will download the newest squads in a way where they destroy the updates. Remember to reload the squad file, and if you update to a newer squad as per my instructions, make sure to save it separately so you can reload it!!
This is only for PC. If you are on console, you can use my website as a guide to mimic these changes yourself. With transfers, you can "reset" loans by moving a player to free agents and then back on the same menu (without breaking lineups, squad numbers, etc). Sadly, you can't replicate option-to-buy scenarios.
If you think I've missed something crucial or you are experiencing stability issues, leave me feedback and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

[]CF-SE - Squad File with Stadiums and European Groups
This Football Manager squad file renames over 400 stadiums, exchanges over 120, fixes European competition team assignments, and edits 61 player loans and obligations. A niche but useful update for players wanting more accurate stadium names and competition setups, with modest community support (20 endorsements).
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a ton of realism with 400+ stadium renames and 120+ exchanges
- Fixes European competition teams, so your Champions League draws actually make sense
- Tweaks 61 loans and obligations, which is a nice touch for career mode immersion
⚠️ Cons
- Only 20 endorsements, so it's a niche pick—might not be thoroughly tested by the community
- Squad file mods can conflict with other database or transfer updates, so watch your load order
- No version info or compatibility notes, so it might break with the latest game patch
For Football Manager players who are tired of wrong stadium names and messed-up European competition lineups. If you're into deep realism and don't mind a manual install, this is for you. Skip if you're on the latest patch and don't want to risk compatibility issues.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the squad file in the correct 'editor data' folder in your Football Manager documents directory, then start a new career to apply it.
- Make sure to enable 'editor data files' when starting a new game, or the changes won't load.
- If you use other database mods, load this one last to avoid conflicts.
