Organize your kits by country and club

Years of kit packs end up as one big mess inside the graphics folder: the same kit three times, odd file names, no idea what is what. FM Kit Folder Mapper finds every kit, lets you settle the duplicates and puts each one in its own country and club folder, with the config.xml the game needs.

FM Kit Folder Mapper: choosing the graphics folder and a preview of how the kits will be organised

What it does

Everything runs on your computer. You review before anything moves.

Finds every kit

Point it at your graphics folder and it reads every config.xml inside, from any pack or creator, to work out which club and kit each image really is.

Duplicates, side by side

Same kit in several packs? It keeps the newest file by default, and the comparator shows all of them next to each other (preview, date, size, pixels) so you can pick the one you like.

Country / club folders

Everything moves into Kits\3D, GK and 2D, then Country\Club. Files are renamed to one clear pattern, like 322_home_3d.png.

A config.xml per club

Each club folder gets its own config.xml pointing to the right place, so Football Manager keeps finding every kit.

Nothing is deleted

Kits that are not chosen go to Kits\Leftovers, and so does anything in Kits that is not a kit in its place. Old config.xml files are renamed to config.old.xml. Leftovers never gets a config.xml, so nothing there can override your choices.

Works offline

The list of more than 70,000 clubs is built into the app, so it knows each club's name and country without an internet connection.

Speaks your language

English, Português (Brasil), Español, Français, Italiano and Türkçe, with the words Football Manager players actually use. Switch any time from the flag button.

Updates itself

When a new version is out, the app shows a banner and updates in a few seconds. Every update is digitally signed and verified before it is installed.

How it works

1Choose your graphics folderBrowse to the Football Manager graphics folder (or any folder with kit packs) and pick which kit types to scan.
2Review what was foundSee how many kits, duplicates and unknown clubs there are. Open the comparator on any duplicate to choose which file to keep.
3OrganizePress Organize my kits. Everything goes into the Kits folder by country and club, ready for the game.

The result

Kits\3D\Brazil\Flamengo\ 322_home_3d.png · config.xml — 3D kits by country and club

Kits\GK\Brazil\Flamengo\ 322_gk_home_3d.png · config.xml — goalkeeper kits

Kits\2D\Italy\Juventus\ 322_home_2d.png · config.xml — 2D kits

Kits\3D\National Teams\Brazil\ — national teams

Kits\3D\Other\123456\ — clubs not on the list (still used by the game)

Kits\Leftovers\Duplicates\ 322_home_3d (2).png — kits that lost to another copy

Kits\Leftovers\Unmapped\ — anything in Kits that is not a kit in its place

Kits\Leftovers\Replaced\ — older versions replaced by new ones

Kits\Leftovers\Old XML\ config.old.xml — old config.xml files, renamed

Files are named club ID_kit_type.png, e.g. 322_home_3d.png or 322_gk_away_3d.png. The club ID is the one Football Manager uses.
The Kits folder is created inside the graphics folder you choose, so the game picks everything up.
Clubs with the same name in the same country get their ID added to the folder name, so they never mix.

Questions

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is it safe?

FM Kit Folder Mapper is a new, independent app and is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show this notice the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway. To be sure the file is the original one, compare its SHA-256 with the value shown at the top of this page.

Does it delete any of my files?

No. It only moves files. Kits that are not chosen, files in Kits that are not kits and old config.xml files all go to Kits\Leftovers, so you can always get them back. Clubs it does not know stay in the game, in an Other folder.

Which kits does it find?

Kits that are already set up for the game, which means they appear in a config.xml anywhere in the graphics folder, plus any file named like 322_home_3d.png inside Kits. A pack's config.xml that also maps logos or faces keeps them: only its kit lines are removed. Loose images outside Kits that no config.xml mentions are left where they are.

Do I need FM Kits Hub to use it?

No, they are independent. The Mapper tidies up the kits you already have, from any source. FM Kits Hub downloads and keeps the kits from this site up to date.

Do I need to install anything else?

No. It is a single file with everything included: no installer, no .NET runtime and no account. Save it anywhere and double-click it.

How do I verify the file?

Open a terminal in the folder with the download and run certutil -hashfile FMKitFolderMapper.exe SHA256. The result must match the SHA-256 published on this page.

How do I uninstall it?

Delete the .exe. Your organised kits stay where they are.
