About The Football Manager 2023 Norwegian Lower League Database

Football Managr 2023 Norwegian lower league database playable divisions

The Football Manager 2023 Norwegian lower league database unlocks and activates the fourth and fifth divisions as well as creating all the divisions down to level 11. Frankly, it makes the complete Norwegian football league system available to you on Football Manager 2023 – something we at Passion4FM have never been able to provide to you before.

With the Football Manager 2023 Norwegian lower league database activated in your next save, you’ll be able to take on the challenge by selecting a club in any of the regioanl divisions of Norway, such as the Amedia-ligaen, where you’ll find some of the local clubs of mine.

Since all the divisions until level 11 is unlocked in Norway for FM23, it unlocks my local club Sprint-Jeløy, which is found in the Norsk-Tipping ligaen avd.4. You will even be able to start off a journey with a club from above the artic circle – perhaps the club from Troms named Valhall.

Regardless of which teams you select to manage in Norway, the FM23 Norwegian lower league database lets you battle your way to the professional leagues with a club from one of the regional divisions split up by the different counties.

What has been done to XaW’sFM23 Norwegian Lower League Database?

  • Removed the view-only part for the 4th tier
  • Added the 5th tier, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th
  • Changed the names of all divisions and some teams to make them more as one would expect (removed FK, IL, etc from short name whenever I’ve spotted it)

A few things to note.

  • The 2020 season did not play in Norway due to covid, so there are no history there
  • Relegation and promotions at this level is notoriously random, so I’ve set it up as a “best guess”.
  • I have not included reserve teams beyone 3rd teams. So 4th teams and 5th teams are just not added.
  • I’ve not created all stadiums, and rather consolidated teams at the lower leagues to my best guess at the closest stadium to avoid spending hours and hours on creating them.
  • All schools are set to “Always amateur”, it worth mentioning, I feel. Examples are NTNUI, all team who has “student” in their name. If you are unsure, do a quick google to make sure.

Known Issues
Occasionally teams enter divisions outside their set region even if their regional divisions are set correctly. Suspect it’s a balancing issue in the game.

NB! With our real names fix applied, you’ll experience the real names of all regional competitions and cups including youth tournaments.

Selecting the Start Date

As you might know, the Norwegian football league is one of few that goes from March to December – mostly due to the cold winters that make laying outdoors football ineligible.

To get straight into the action we recommend selecting February 28th, 2022 as the start date of your Norwegian lower league experience.

This will ensure you will kick off the journey with a full pre-season.


Norwegian Lower League Save ideas

By downloading you’ll get the opportunity to try a tough restore the glory or youth development challenge with Lyn FK who have won 8 NM cup trophies and a large number of regional championships with their youth teams.

Lyn FK is a former premier division club and one of the oldest clubs in Norway which is famous for its profitable youth development program.

Despite the financial situations of most clubs in Norway being poor, you now got the ability to take control of Lysekloster in the Norsk-Tipping Ligaen avdeling 4 (4th level / division 4) – one of few sugar daddy clubs in Scandinavia.

By unlocking the fourth division of Norway you’ll get the opportunity to manage a number of former giants and up-and-coming clubs. NTNUI for example is a club founded upon students at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and has become one of the largest and most diverse sports associations in Norway with over 12000 members throughout 70 different sport genres.

Hønefoss BK was part of Eliteserien in 2012, but finds itself in the fourth division together with the newest club to be founded in the world.. as far as I know. FK Eik Tønsberg got its name on the January 1st 2020 after a merger with FK Tønsberg. FK Tønsberg was the club who Norwegian Tottenham Hotspur legend Erik Thorstvedt started off his professional career before eventually making his breakthrough at Viking.

NB! You will need to start a new save in order to make these changes come to effect.
