I agree with you!

The problem isn't the cup, it's that the game's unofficial cups mean that the official cups are postponed, so the cup doesn't take priority

Great idea, it's really necessary even

I support the idea
I hope it will be taken seriously

In the mil gracias

What will be the distinction between north and south?
According to the clubs' preference?

This is a very good idea and I hope that the Admissions Committee will look into it

Ok why not in 4 zones
North South East and West

It's exactly the overcrowding of the African championship that's preventing me from joining this magnificent competition.
I agree with your proposal 1000%.
Thank you for raising this important point.

Not a bad idea

It sounds like an interesting idea, but it would add one or more championships. Personally, I propose that we keep the current championship, which will be 'global' for the whole of Africa, because I honestly like the idea of having one championship that covers the whole continent, and two other more specific championships; the criterion of geographical distinction can be applied in different ways for me.
So for example: the current one becomes Africa (global) + two other new championships.
Thanks Raito for the suggestion

I'd already mentioned it before! In fact, it was the reason why I left the championship!
You find yourself playing CDL matches in the middle of the break and sometimes beyond...

I'm all for it! It doesn't matter how you divide it, but it needs to be changed urgently because it's unplayable!

It's not a bad idea, I'm all for it

Before abolishing the current championship and creating two new ones, it would be a good idea to clean up the lower divisions. There are a lot of inactive clubs, which considerably increases the number of teams in the African championship.

Then, if it's still too many, yes, we'll have to find a solution to create two separate championships with two separate cups, and thus avoid the congestion you're currently experiencing.

Nicularo: Avant de supprimer le championnat actuel pour en créer deux nouveaux, il serait bien de faire un peu le ménage dans les divisions inférieures. Il y a beaucoup de clubs inactifs, ce qui augmente considérablement le nombre d’équipes dans le championnat africain.

Ensuite, si c’est toujours trop, alors oui il faudra trouver une solution pour créer deux championnats distincts avec deux coupes distinctes, et ainsi éviter l’encombrement que vous connaissez actuellement.

For two or three seasons now, inactive clubs have been automatically withdrawn from the leagues at the start of each season by the game.
However, at the time of the last African League Cup draw, there were still more than 256 participating clubs (active clubs, which are considered to be inactive clubs removed by the game) this confirms the plethora of clubs in Africa.
So the division of the championship into two distinct entities (North and East Africa / Sub-Saharan Africa) remains, in my opinion, the best solution

je pense que cest une tres bonne idee

Very good proposal!
I would have liked it to be divided by 4: North, West, East and South, but the proposal to divide it into 2 is really reasonable.

Let's hope the mdj is keen on the idea. Lol

Thanks for the suggestion brother Raito

Great suggestion

I agree

A great idea

Perhaps we could make it so that only the top 3 divisions take part in the championship cup? That would reduce the number of participants and it wouldn't be illogical.

Very Good idea 👍, hope it comes to fruition.

It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately I'm going to have to hold back a bit...

The African championship is where I am and where I've always been

I totally agree with you my brother raito especially add the grand maghreb championship

kdr1.0: L’idée se tient et est intéressante, mais je serai un peu sur la retenue malheureusement...

Le championnat africain j’y suis et j’y est toujours été ; actuellement jamais il n’a été aussi dur d être en élite, chaque saison des équipes en élite sont confronté à la relégation ; il y à plus comme avant 2 3 4 équipes qui campent en d1 et les autres qui font l’ascenseur...

Séparer le championnat me permettrait sûrement d aller en d1 mais qu'en est le prix ...

Sans com

Don't think it will be easier to reach the elite if we split the African championship in two 😅
A lot of the big clubs are already reluctant to come to Africa because of the current situation: a plethora of clubs overflowing the League Cup calendar. If you want to play on all fronts, it can disrupt schedules and make it impossible to play IE matches during the breaks.
Personally, I've already played in and won the African D1 in the past. At the time, we had max 3 divisions, but the competition was already tough. If we split the competition in half, many would be motivated to return to Africa, myself included, and the rivalry would become even more intense, believe me
As for the number of participants in the LDC, each league would have the same quota as the current leagues.
how many French leagues are there in the game? How many two-division leagues? Yet the quota is the same for everyone: the winners of the league cup qualify for the LDC, as do the champion and his two runners-up. So in my opinion, there's no problem there...

Personally, I'm totally in favour, as the idea makes sense and would allow better representation of this championship without devaluing it.
Because of the number of teams, it takes a very long time and disrupts the championship
What's more, the higher level would allow 2 times as many teams to take part in the LDC .... and would also allow 2 times as many teams to strengthen their record of achievements

Maybe we should add a second cup to these overcrowded leagues based on results, like the 1 to 4 from D1 as well as the lower divisions also have these places in cup number 1 and the 4 to 8 in cup number 2

I propose to separate the African championship into 5 :
north, South, East, West and Picardy

Bernarinho: Je propose de séparer le championnat d'Afrique en 5 :
nord, sud, est, ouest et Picardie

Too much work 🫣. North. south would be nice I think ^^

Like many management games, I'm proposing that you manage. And that means making choices. Or to form two competitive teams. No, I'm joking, that would be far too logical a solution.

OMstar83: Je propose, comme sur beaucoup de jeux de gestion, de gérer. Et donc, de faire des choix. Ou de se constituer deux équipes compétitives. Non, je déconne, ce serait une solution bien trop logique.

That's for sure!

After that, it wouldn't be illogical, if this championship is very successful, to divide it into 2... we complain that we don't have many new players, fresh blood seems to be arriving from Africa, so let's take that into account.

Dcr good idea

Lebaygue: Après, ça serait pas illogique si ce championnat a beaucoup de succès de le diviser en 2...on se plaint qu on a pas beaucoup de nouveaux,le sang frais a l air d arriver d Afrique, prenons le en compte.

We're just talking about a basic league cup that ends at the break. Nothing too crazy to deal with. If the cup didn't end during the season, fine, but that's not the case here. Anyway, it doesn't really concern me so, in the end, I don't really care, but I wanted to remind you that a management game was quite aptly named because I see too many people who want to change everything so that it suits them rather than having to deal with the situation.

france has 23 championships, Great Britain has 4, so why shouldn't Africa have more? I'm all for it.

I've just had a quick look around

Others think there are too many championships!

In any case, whatever the division, it will always be too many or too few, depending on how you look at it.

So as long as there isn't a single championship (which would be a solution) and as long as the championships are labelled with regions or countries (or even continents), there will always be plenty of clubs who sign up here or there depending on the label, out of regional or national interest.
From then on, you have to accept that there will be imbalances.

Otherwise, like some people (including me), sign up for a championship regardless of the label and don't hesitate to be a 'nomad'.
As far as I'm concerned, I've won titles in Overseas France, Portugal, Languedoc, Spain, the Madrid region and Luxembourg and I have no particular links with any of these countries or regions!

Some people prefer to remain loyal to a region or country that is their own, while others don't care. Everyone is free to do as they please.

But from that point on, if everyone can do as they like, we shouldn't complain and we should accept that the championships are unbalanced in terms of volume but also in terms of level.

Clearly, we need fewer championships. If we create a new one, we have to abolish 3 of them.

Rull43: Clairement il faut moins de championnat. Si on crée un nouveau, faut en supprimer 3.

It's Picardy that's going to take the hit again 😁😁😁

Great idea Raito

Bizare is what the game and has labondone by its owner

Rico31: Bizare est ce que le jeux et a labondone par son propriétaire

Not at all, but the game is mature, so it's not in the spirit of modifying it as players wish

kiki-sainté: C est encore la Picardie qui va trinquer 😁😁😁

Inactive Championship that's why

this interminable championship is virtually the only one where the competition has reached the quarter-finals, while virtually all the other championships have been completed.
That's what discourages me from joining this championship.

OCSharks: cet interminable championnat est quasiment le seul où la compétition a atteint les quarts de finale alors que quasiment tous les autres championnat sont achevé.
C'est ce qui me décourage pour rejoindre ce championnat.

There are a number of sporting, economic and social advantages to having a league with more football clubs. Here are just a few of the reasons why:

1. Greater competitiveness

A league with more clubs would make it possible to increase the diversity of the teams competing, which could boost overall competitiveness. By having more teams, the quality of the game could become more varied, and there would be more surprises and interesting matches, making the competition more exciting.
2. Development of regional football

The addition of new clubs would further develop football in different regions, particularly in less-represented areas. This could lead to a better distribution of talent across the country and allow teams that have not had the opportunity to play at the highest level to make a name for themselves.

3. Increasing interest and viewership

With more clubs, there are more matches to follow, which can increase spectator and media interest. It would also attract more local supporters to each club, increasing the audience base and the revenue generated, particularly through ticketing, television rights and sponsorship.

4. Positive economic impact

A league with more clubs generates more revenue, both for the clubs themselves and for the towns that host the matches. Smaller clubs, like the big teams, could see their finances boosted by shared TV rights, sponsorship deals and more matches.

5. Strengthening training and infrastructure

Expanding the league could encourage better training of young talent. Clubs moving up to the top division will have an interest in investing in their infrastructure and in training new players to be competitive. This would help to improve the overall quality of football in the country.

6. Stability and flexibility for clubs

Having a larger number of clubs makes it easier for clubs to maintain themselves at a high level, reducing the risk of clubs struggling to maintain themselves in a smaller league. It could also reduce the stress of relegation and provide opportunities for smaller clubs to progress.
7. Adding value to secondary competitions

By adding clubs, the competition becomes more open and there are more clubs that can qualify for international competitions or play an important role in domestic competitions such as the cup.

8. Encouraging tactical and strategic innovation

A larger championship forces coaches to explore more tactics and strategies to differentiate themselves in a denser competition, which can benefit the evolution of the game.
In conclusion

Adding more clubs to a football league can increase diversity, improve competitiveness and boost the economy around the sport. However, care must also be taken to ensure that expansion does not undermine the quality of matches, club management and the financial stakes involved. The balance between quantity and quality remains essential to the success of such an expansion.

It's a great theoretical statement that I fully endorse. However, this concerns life IRL, where we're in a game, which makes most of the points quoted obsolete and not at all reflective of the reality of the game.

But on the improvement front, why not refer to the points you mentioned to improve the leagues module, like for example giving an advantage to clubs playing in the advanced divisions of overcrowded leagues, probably giving a small bonus on TV ratings depending on the size of the league... at the same time, giving significant advantages will force managers to join particular leagues to take advantage and this will free up leagues and allow Aymeric to do the clean-up he promised a few seasons ago

for the league cups, we could consider prioritising cup matches at the expense of friendlies (crushing friendlies to force clubs to play official cups).
