Data packs

Every club, league and cup in The Club Owner is fictional. A data pack is a small file that renames them: clubs (with short names, kit colours and ground names), the five leagues and the six cups. Packs never change ratings, money or rules, and your own club always keeps the name you gave it.

The Conference had 22 clubs then, so one bottom-division club keeps its fictional name.

Made by a fan and not affiliated with or endorsed by any club, league or competition. All names belong to their owners.

Installing a pack

Save the pack's .json file to your iPhone (for example to the Files app).
In the game, tap Import pack: on the welcome screen when you start, or in Menu → Data packs.
Choose the file. New games use the pack straight away. To rename the game you're already playing, tap Apply to this game.

With a pack, a new game puts your club in place of one of the pack's bottom-division clubs, chosen at random.

Making your own

The easiest way is Menu → Data packs → Export template. It saves every club, league and cup name in your current game as a pack; edit the names in any text editor, then import it. Packs made by other players can be shared the same way.
