Northern Cyprus FM27 is an editor file that makes football in the north of the island, known as KKTC, playable. It comes from trinitrotloen and adds the AKSA Kıbrıs Süper Lig, a second tier, the federation cup and the squad rules of the real league. Also, this is a pre-release version, so the author is still improving it.
What the Northern Cyprus file adds
The centrepiece is the Süper Lig, with 16 teams and two automatic relegation spots. Below it sits the AKSA Kıbrıs 1. Lig, with five clubs. However, that second tier is not playable yet: it only exists to take the relegated sides and send someone up.
Then there is the Kıbrıs Federasyon Kupası, the national cup. It opens with a group stage of four groups of four. After that, the top two in each group go into the knockout rounds, all the way to the final.

The squad rules
The author copied the rules of the real league. So the main squad is capped at 30 players and 14 foreigners. You also need at least three club-trained and eight nation-trained players, aged 15 to 21.
There is a nice detail here: players from EU countries or from the Organization of Turkic States do not count as foreign. On the matchday squad, you need at least three nation-trained players. Finally, nationality comes after three years of residency. Playing for the national team takes five straight years, but that value is fixed by the game and the editor cannot change it.

Who it is for
It suits anyone who enjoys an unusual challenge, far from the leagues everybody plays. For example, you can take a small Süper Lig club and try to win the title with homegrown talent. Before you start, check the list of playable and licensed leagues in FM27 to see what the game already includes. If you want more leagues off the map, the falsobohemio leagues megapack opens up South America. You can also add the European regulations and squad freedom file if you prefer fewer limits elsewhere.

Things to watch
Editor files only work in new careers. In other words, they change nothing in a save you already have going. Also, if you want to manage the Northern Cyprus national team, the author says you must start the game after the World Cup. That is a limit of FM27 itself.
Since this is a pre-release, you may come across wrong data or rules. The author asks you to report them in the comments so he can fix them in the next version. Next on his list are a playable second tier and more squad information. To uninstall, just delete KKTC.fmf from the editor data folder.
The files are hosted by their original authors. FMPortugal only points to the official download page — all credit goes to their creators.
