The above is my custom league json.
I'm having issues reading anything from FBRef though in regards to Liga F. Liga F looks to be fully supported, all the stats, schedule etc. But I get an error saying No objects to concentate, when using the code;

fbref = sd.FBref(leagues=['ESP-Liga F'])

fbref.read_schedule()

I've literally copy-pasted your code and it works fine. Maybe try fbref = sd.FBref(leagues=['ESP-Liga F'], no_cache=True).

Strange. I'm running the exact code you are, and receiving the same error. Tried it with tor incase that was the issue and I had

error.

I'm going to try it in VSCode instead of Jupyter lab and see if that changes.

Edit: Same issue in VSCode too.
