Football Manager 26 has only the 2 highest levels of Croatian football available in the game by default. With this addon, you can expand Croatian Lower Leagues down to level 8.
Cro-Manager brings you an add-on that activates all 8 levels of Croatian Football Pyramid. In addition, of course, the Croatian Cup and also the Cup for every County (21).

Last Update: December 15th, 2025
IMPORTANT: When creating a new save, it is necessary to ensure that all players from Croatia are loaded so that Football Manager includes all clubs in the game. Without this, it sometimes happens that not all clubs are loaded, which can cause problems when setting up competitions.
Also, it is necessary to include all tiers covered by the add-on. You can include them on View-Only, but they must be included for the promotion and relegation system to function in accordance with the rules.
