Royal Equestria Stadium
Location: Canterlot
Capacity: 98,625
Tenants: Equestrian States National Team
Will host:
MD1: Frenline Delpha vs. Varmelle
Final: SF1 Winner vs. SF2 Winner
A beautiful masterpiece of Equestrian magical engineering, Royal Equestria Stadium is a true cathedral of hoofball located near the heart of Canterlot. Though nowhere near as old as other iconic venues throughout the multiverse, there's no doubt that the Equestrian States national team's home stadium is the country's best-known venue. Built less than a decade ago, Royal Equestria Stadium was designed to be a reflection of the Equestrian States, combining natural beauty, magic, and modernity, which is best found in the stadium's magically-sculpted crystalline roof. With a seated capacity just under 100,000 ponies, Royal Equestria Stadium is no stranger to hosting major sporting events as the finals of the 70th World Cup, 57th Cup of Harmony, 26th Cygnus Cup, and the 29th and 32nd Di Bradini Cups were all played at the venue, in addition to the third place match of the 67th World Cup and annual domestic cup finals. Located within walking distance uphill from Canterlot's historic old town district, Royal Equestria Stadium is easily accessible to hoofball fans staying in the city's many hotels.
Grand Regal Stadium
Location: Canterlot
Capacity: 81,955
Tenants: Canterlot Royals
Will host:
MD2: San Llera vs. Albagaria
MD3: Erbsted & Calcoon vs. Varmelle
MD4: Frenline Delpha vs. Windsor Islands
MD5: Windsor Islands vs. Erbsted & Calcoon
Semifinals: QF1 Winner vs. QF2 Winner
Home to the Canterlot Royals, one of the top Equestrian teams historically, Grand Regal Stadium is the newest of the venues hosting matches at the Baptism of Fire after the Royals decided to replace the aging Equestria Dome with a more modern stadium. Situated in the heart of the capital city, not far from the revered Royal Equestria Stadium, the venue first saw international use at the 70th World Cup finals and will be hosting a semifinal during the 58th Baptism of Fire.
Star Stadium
Location: Canterlot
Capacity: 59,250
Tenants: Canterlot Stars
Will host:
MD1: El Gregoria vs. Affiliated South Califan Sprawls
MD2: Flick Jostle vs. El Gregoria
MD3: Sylvackia vs. Affiliated South Califan Sprawls
MD4: Korchayk vs. Affiliated South Califan Sprawls
MD5: Seventeen Syllables vs. Korchayk
Round of 16: Seed #1 vs. Seed #16
Located in the suburbs of Canterlot, Star Stadium's name is derived from its glittering exterior as well as the fact that it is home to the Canterlot Stars. Though only the third-largest hoofball venue in the Equestrian States' capital city, the stadium can seat nearly 60,000 and is often packed to the brim with supporters for Canterlot Stars matches. The Stars are often viewed as being the 'other' club from Canterlot, second to the more successful Royals, but still regularly contend in the United League. Regardless, the local fans are devoted to their club and tend to be a bit showy despite being from the middle class of Equestrian society.
Manehattan Industrial Park
Location: Manehattan
Capacity: 47,160
Tenants: Manehattan Manticores
Will host:
MD1: Albagaria vs. Windsor Islands
MD2: Frenline Delpha vs. Erbsted & Calcoon
MD3: Windsor Islands vs. San Llera
MD4: Erbsted & Calcoon vs. Albagaria
MD5: Albagaria vs. Varmelle
Round of 16: Seed #5 vs. Seed #12
Manehattan Industrial Park has one of the least-appropriate venue names in the Equestrian States, being located far from the city's actual industrial district. Rather than being an accurate indicator of the stadium's location, the name merely refers to the Manehattan Manticores' original home and their largely lower-class supporters. Boasting some of the nations's more rambunctious fans, the Manticores are often able to sell out every match they play, and fill the stadium to the brim.
Derby Field
Location: Manehattan
Capacity: 65,000
Tenants: Manehattan Dragons
Will host:
MD1: Velstaende vs. Flardania
MD2: Eupheos Anetus vs. Flardania
MD3: Vermark vs. Eupheos Anetus
MD4: Vermark vs. Velstaende
MD5: Matthewsiania vs. Kazirstan
Situated in the financial district of Manehattan, Derby Field is one of the oldest stadiums in the Equestrian States and is home to the equally old Manehattan Dragons, one of the first Equestrian professional hoofball clubs and were recently relegated from the United League. With a traditional brick and glass exterior, it holds to the theme of architecture that is present in many Manehattan buildings.
Elements Stadium
Location: Ponyville
Capacity: 48,750
Tenants: Ponyville United
Will host:
MD1: Kazirstan vs. Eupheos Anetus
MD2: Matthewsiania vs. Velstaende
MD3: Velstaende vs. Kazirstan
MD4: Eupheos Anetus vs. Matthewsiania
MD5: Flardania vs. Vermark
Quarterfinals: SR1 Winner vs. SR2 Winner
Elements Stadium is named after the Elements of Harmony, the guiding principles of the majority faith of the Equestrian States: Harmonism. Home to Ponyville United, the most successful Equestrian club in domestic and UICA competitions, Elements Stadium is one of the better known venues in the Equestrian States and has hosted matches in every international hoofball tournament played in the nation as well as a Globe Cup final. Visiting fans often enjoy the stadium's central position alongside the crystal-clear Mane River, not far from some of Ponyville's largest and nicest hotels.
Sky-High Coliseum
Location: Cloudsdale
Capacity: 65,000
Tenants: Cloudsdale Flyers, Cloudsdale Colts
Will host:
MD1: Vermark vs. Matthewsiania
MD2: Kazirstan vs. Vermark
MD3: Flardania vs. Matthewsiania
MD4: Kazirstan vs. Flardania
MD5: Velstaende vs. Eupheos Anetus
Round of 16: Seed #4 vs. Seed #13
Like many hoofball venues in the Equestrian States, Sky-High Coliseum's name was given for a reason as it floats a nice 2.5 kilometers above ground, with nothing besides the clouds separating it from the grassy plains below. Sky-High Coliseum's use as a venue for international competitions has been criticized in the past, as the hesitation of foreign supporters to sit in the stadium itself generally allows the Equestrians to gain an almost unbeatable home-field advantage. Though the ability to add and remove entire sections of the stadium on a whim allows for its capacity to be adjusted according to the scale of whatever event it's hosting, and thus is still a popular choice for international competitions.
Diamond Park
Location: Stalliongrad
Capacity: 75,000
Tenants: Stalliongrad HC
Will host:
MD1: Seventeen Syllables vs. Sylvackia
MD2: Affiliated South Califan Sprawls vs. Seventeen Syllables
MD3: El Gregoria vs. Korchayk
MD4: Flick Jostle vs. Sylvackia
MD5: Sylvackia vs. El Gregoria
Quarterfinals: SR3 Winner vs. SR4 Winner
Built into the very sides of the mountains, a carved overhang provides shelter from the sun, and unicorn magic gives Diamond Park protection from destructive rainfall when the Ministry of Weather Control schedules it. Named for the seams of gems and precious metals that can still be seen crisscrossing the roof, Diamond Park is a beautiful stadium that stands out in a city that has become wealthy through nearby mines. (OOC: I'm aware that the above image does not fit with the description given. Add one or two tiers and replace the overhang with one made of rock, and you've got a mental image of Diamond Park.)
Wild Grounds
Location: Everfree
Capacity: 56,500
Tenants: Everfree Forest HC
Will host:
MD1: Flick Jostle vs. Korchayk
MD2: Korchayk vs. Sylvackia
MD3: Seventeen Syllables vs. Flick Jostle
MD4: El Gregoria vs. Seventeen Syllables
MD5: Affiliated South Califan Sprawls vs. Flick Jostle
Round of 16: Seed #8 vs. Seed #9
Wild Grounds is appropriately named, being home to the ever-so-slightly crazed supporters of Everfree Forest HC and located near the very edges of the jungle. With a breathtaking view of the city of Everfree, the stadium offers one of the best atmospheres for hoofball in the country and has been a regular stop for the national team ever since the Ponies began to play outside of Canterlot.
Shady Grove
Location: Whitetail
Capacity: 43,650
Tenants: Whitetail Foresters
Will host:
MD1: Erbsted & Calcoon vs. San Llera
MD2: Varmelle vs. Windsor Islands
MD3: Albagaria vs. Frenline Delpha
MD4: Varmelle vs. San Llera
MD5: San Llera vs. Frenline Delpha
In almost total contrast with the crazier supporters at venues such as Wild Grounds and Manehattan Industrial Park, the local fans of the Whitetail Foresters bring a friendly and laid-back vibe to their Shady Grove. The Foresters are one of the more historic Equestrian clubs and are particularly well-known for producing some of the nation's best young talents who have later developed into international stars at foreign clubs.

The scoreline seemed positive at 5-0 but I was a bit disappointed in the possession we had against our opposition. For a full-strength national team to at times struggle to find possession against a club U-23 team is kind of pitiful. Despite this, we finished clinically, especially Jan, and we deserved the win. The biggest positive is a further realization of our weaknesses. There isn't much time but we will work on possession and we will work on some basics that I noticed we lacked.
Jan has a very hot temper and sometimes makes reckless decisions but he trains as hard as anybody and I respect him for that.
Right now, we're taking it one game at a time. Our focus is in beating Erbsted & Calcoon and it will stay that way until the game.
They're not easy teams to beat, from what I've seen. But I guess we'll see, won't we?
Camp has allowed me to adjust the lineup a little bit, to train on somethings and to get our players in form and fitness. But you never know exactly where you stand until you play. So we'll play, and hopefully we'll win.

The 70-year-old Osarian fixture who steered the Diezcondado to their first CoH appearance is back for one last hurrah. When open war broke out, Garabona decided not to lose the mild climate or the seaside views, tracking news from the front and hopping from one FSC coastal locale to the next to be as far as possible from the fighting. Since then, he has lived openly in Santa Monica, a beach bum with interests in a wide swathe of international used car lots and fleet vehicle depots, and continues to quietly donate food, medicine and creature comforts to community centers, schools and military units defending ASCS in the border skirmishes. More of a good neighbor than a partisan, Garabona mostly avoids voting on contentious issues and keeps a low political profile.Manager

Thirty-seven year old Falerina Jomphe was one of the original defenders for El Diezcondado, notching 46 caps in World Cup qualifying before being cut by Garabona for WC64. Now his colleague (Califan managers are more like tacticians than generals), Jomphe will be expected to contribute tactical and moral support on a daily basis. She knows every angle of the pitch from her days exhibiting El Método, and managed AC Republicans to a fifth-place finish in FLSC, landing four points outside of the Globe Cup qualifying zone. Even though she has clarified in interviews that she is not a republican, her affiliation with the policlub through their league side was expected to hinder her campaign, and may have contributed to her only narrowly besting Huber and Reynoso. Jomphe refuses to discuss the war or the border skirmishes, and as far as anyone can tell, she stayed neutral throughout with the hope of keeping her options open, anticipating precisely that she might manage a side like Republicans. In the Califan context, republicans are radical dissidents, unpopular but not purged or persecuted; they envision a political system not unlike some countries currently engaged in low-level conflict with ASCS.Defense coach

The rock in the FSC midfield, 40-year-old Godvin Nes of San Diego is tied with the era and federation's top striker Ceh for the most WCQ and total caps at 46 and 87 respectively going into WC65. A menace in the Champions' Cup and Globe Cup for Calexico, Nes defected from Imperial County when war broke out, providing material and moral support for the Califan effort from his coastal hometown. He survived a shipyard bombing and became a youth coach when hostilities simmered, eventually managing the amateur San Diego Federal University side before his turn as an attack coach for Series A mid-table club Santa Barbara City, the highest-scoring side in the Football League. Nes won a handful of early WCQ games in the FSC player-manager era; as a player, he scored eight goals - all in qualifying - with a more level-headed style than the flashy Zhongyuan, the set-piece expert. Both played in all four CoH ties. Nes is a left-wing communist, known for his key role in covert operations during the revolution that produced FSC in his youth.Attack coach

A role unique to ASCS, the fourth tactician can be consulted on almost all matters and is expected to provide moral support, but doesn't have as much decisive authority in the heat of battle. Only former Diezcondado starters had much of a chance in this election, with sweeper Reynoso taking a close race after disappointing results in the managerial and defense coach elections. Voters clearly favored defense for the fourth tactician role. Reynoso broke a lot of CSL strikers' hearts for her hometown Santa Maria club and played in almost every FSC game, racking up 46 WCQ caps and 84 total caps going into WC65, a starter in all four CoH matches as well. Reynoso is an odd mix of republican and loyalist, reportedly staying about as neutral as possible throughout the war without defecting or even associating with the republican policlub.Fourth tactician

About the team's chances: We know we are among the favourites for the tournament.
Success is in the back of our head. This is historic for us, we can do it.
About Jimmy Wonder not being included in the side: He's 35, that's too old to compete for us. He will be commentating though.
Ahead of the Fratton game today: Yea, it's gonna be a good one. Hopefully it'll be a victory, will set us up for the knockout stages.
The challengers for success: Vermark, Waterandearthstan & Varmelle seem to be the big gets challengers, but all teams will try to get the trophy from the mantle.

"Whenever there's a huge event, such as our leader's birthday or something like that, we burn prayer huts of fake religious faiths to celebrate and praise God," spoke a local who is a fervent follower of Thibautism in a small village where there were many non-Thibautism followers, "It's a very liberating and fun thing to do. "Sadly no one was inside when we burned them down, but at least they can go to our huts and pray to our one true God."
"This is oppression. Why can't I choose what I worship, even if its nothing. Thibautism is just a stupid cult.
