You can import save games which you have used the ‘Back Up’ instructions above to save to iCloud. You will need to be signed into the same iCloud account to which you saved the career. Simply go to the Load Game screen and select the iCloud tab at the top.
Your career will continue to save automatically to the cloud in this case. If you would prefer to have it save in the game’s internal storage, you can follow the steps below, but this is not a necessary step:
- From the main menu tap [Load Game].
- Tap on the [Cloud] tab on the top of the Saved Games menu.
- Select which career you would like to import and once the file is highlighted, tap [Import From iCloud].
- Once the Import From iCloud pop-up appears, tap [Yes].
- Once the import happens, you will see the folder from step 3 in the internal saves folder structure.
Note – If you load this save locally all auto and manual saves will now take place in the internal file structure and not from the cloud.
PC
- Follow the instructions in ‘Export – iOS – To PC’ above to download the device’s save file folder to the your PC.
- In iTunes select the saves folder (i.e. the folder with the 25-character-long alphanumeric string as a name, for example PFULBYHXJREHTDLIZWFRV7VQ6U,) and tap on the Delete Key then click on [Delete] in the pop-up.
- Return to the PC’s Desktop and navigate through the folder with the 25-character-long alphanumeric string as a name to find an empty career save folder (/games/career_x where x is a number between 1 and 8).
- Copy the save game that you want to put onto the device into the first empty career folder.
- Return to iTunes and to the same File Sharing screen with FM24 Mobile selected.
- Drag and drop the folder with the 25-character-long random string as a name into the FM24 Mobile Documents window.
- Once the progress bar at the top of iTunes shows as complete it will then be safe to disconnect the device and load up the game to load up the save.

PLAY AS A NATIONAL TEAM AND CONFIRM A NATIONAL SQUAD
To play as a National Team in FM24 Mobile, select your nations when starting your save, and when selecting your Team, you'll see an additional option on the right for National Teams.
For international tournaments, it is necessary to call up a certain number of players (usually 23) to the National Team squad.
If your squad contains the incorrect number of players, you will be told the requirement when attempting to confirm your squad in a news message.
You will need to remove any excess players or call up additional players to fit the criteria.
