Club Nationality[]
For every club you own you pick which nation the club belongs too. You can move a club between nations at the end of a season - see Moving a Club for details. The nation your club belongs to impacts the nationality of the club's players.
In the game there are major nations and minor nations. Your club can belong to any of them, but the player nationality of a club from a minor nation will be that of the major nation the minor nation is under. For example, If your club is in USA, then your players will all have USA nationality. If your club is in Mexico then, because Mexico is not a major game country, your players will all have USA nationality as well.
Player Nationality[]
The nation your club starts in will determine the nationality of all the players you begin with. Any players you bring out of your Youth Academy will also be of this nationality. If you move your club from one nation to another one, however, then the nationality of any Youth prospects you then bring out of your Youth Academy will have the nationality of your new nation.
List of Major and Minor Nations[]
The list of major and minor nations in the game is not intended to make any political points or offend anyone. It is designed with the current FIFA World Rankings in mind, and then the minor nations assigned to these major nations on geographical and historical grounds. However, we realise that some choices may not please everyone or that some nations would more logically be placed under a different major nation. Let us know by commenting below if some nation links would make more sense than we currently have. We don’t promise to make any changes, but will look at your suggestions.
In addition, which nations are major and which are minor may well change as the game matures. We will be monitoring the amount of players for each nation and if a minor nation gets large enough then we may well promote it into being a major nation. Conversely, if a Major nation’s numbers fall to a level where it no longer really classifies as a major nation for game purposes in our opinion, then it may become a minor nation under a different major nation.
