I'm following guide to add custom league from sofifa and it doesn't work. (Python3.9 on WSL)

Here is my code

import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)
import soccerdata as sd

#Create scraper class instance
sofascore = sd.Sofascore(leagues='NED-Eredivisie', seasons='2122', no_cache=True)

print(sd.Sofascore.available_leagues())

leagues = sofascore.read_leagues()
print(leagues.head())

schedule = sofascore.read_schedule(force_cache=False)
print(schedule.head())

Here's the error

Another non-top league doesn't work too. Also I found out, that there is URL which using /top-unique-tournament/ and it doesn't provide info about Eredivisie or Qazaqstan Premiere League (QPL above).

Is it even possible to add custom league from sofascored?
