Is association football (soccer) popular at all in your nation? Is there a national league for professional or amateur teams?

[Rhodevus]

In Rhodevus, football is very popular in the Southern Provinces. It is even thought of as a backup national sport. There is also a very strong and very vocal divide between the northern and southern provinces whether to call football, "football" or soccer.

Rhodevus has 3 soccer teams.
-The Kingstown Golden Eagles (based in the Kingstown Soccer Club)
-The Acadian Antelopes (based in the Football Association of Acadia)
-The Mountain Heights Redverns (based in Redvern Fields)

Although these teams are all national teams, they do play in the Commonwealth Cup against other teams around the Commonwealth. There is a movement to bring the Kingstown Golden Eagles onto the International playing field and become the national team of Rhodevus

[Melvonia]

Oh, no no no!

Melvonians' views on sport in general tend to range from amused puzzlement through disdain to genuine horror. Association football sits very much toward the latter end of the scale. All that needless running around! The meaningless regional rivalries! The garish kits! And worst of all, the shouting. No, the watching of football (of any type) is a diminishingly rare minority pursuit here, and nobody plays it. Why turn over a perfectly good 2 acres to eye-achingly flat, unquenchably thirsty turf when you could be growing wine on it?

[Grays Harbor]
