Tired of looking at the same generic stadiums and Football Manager ads in almost every match?
Looking to add some variety and mix up your game experience?
Want to give every stadium its own colours and club culture?
This mod turns the generic FM 2020 ads into club specific colours, flags and banners , giving every stadium more realism and adding some much needed individuality to the game's 3D engine.

11,209 images for around 800 clubs.
Every club in Europe's main top leagues plus Argentina, Brazil, USA, Mexico, Japan.

2. Place the first "ads" folder (the one with only the fm.xml file inside)
Inside the FM20 user data folder, which by default is in:
Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020
3. Place the "pictures/ads" folder inside the FM "graphics" folder, found here:
Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/graphics
If you already have the folder pictures, just put it inside the "ads" folder so you don't delete anything else in the folder pictures, like logos, flags, city photos, etc. If you don't have the folder graphics, create it.
The full path should now be:
Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/graphics/pictures/ads
4. If you downloaded the full version with video ads: place the "simatchviewer_uncompressed" folder (this contains the video ads) in the "data" folder inside your
Steam installation folder (which is not in the same area as the first two folders), located here:
steam > steamapps > common > Football Manager 2020 > data
The full path should now be:
steam > steamapps > common > Football Manager 2020 > data>simatchviewer_uncompressed
(There is an existing fmf file there with the same name: just leave it.)
You will notice another folder, with a file called bidstack_enabled.xml. This basically stops the game from constantly loading and showing random video ads if you are playing online. Put it in:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager2020 \Preferences\version 3
or on Mac: Library/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/Preferences/version 3
5. Please restart FM20. If you only refresh the cache, the game may not realise there is a whole new place to find the new graphics. Only when FM20 is restarted will it find and read the new ads xml file, and also discover the video ads.
6. In game, go to Preferences > Interface and click "Clear cache". Then go back to the same screen and click "Reload Skin". This tells the game there are new graphics to load; otherwise it reuses the old ones.
