Year 2023 FAS season
Last season saw the Premier League turned on its head as perennial powerhouses like Arçon, Bugny, Les Alliés, and Gilley did not win either League title or the FAS Cup, therefore they were all denied a trip to the Charity Shield. In their stead, first timers Maystead and Pays de Croix will play in the nation's most charitable event. Maystead spent years in the lower divisions before coming up to the Premier League after the 2019 season. In just 3 short years, the Poppies gathered enough talent on the field and in the managerial box to raise the top flight trophy for the first time. Pays de Croix's path to the Shield was almost taken away from them, as the Saints were tied on points with Maystead at the end of the season; however, due to a higher goal difference the Poppies moved on and PDC were left stranded. That was until they steamrolled through FAS Cup to take that piece of silverware for the first time.
With widespread wildfires looming over the Saugeais National Forest, both teams have decided to donate their winnings to the relief effort being made to quell the spread.
