What Doesn't Change
Nations Cup runs alongside the regular season. Your clubs, your league matches, your competitions, none of that is affected.
- No fatigue on any Nations Cup activity (rally matches or national team call-ups)
- Your players remain available for regular season, friendlies, and agency matches
- Players who retire during the competition can still play remaining matches in their nation's bracket
