The Cove League
Background
The Capital Cove Association of Football, after compiling proper funds, was able to establish a league of its own. Capital Cove, also called the cove, is small nation south of Hügeltaldom. While the nation is politically autonomous, the cove’s ties to Zeta Reka remain strong, if tense. The Cove itself has been considered a “extra piece” of Zeta Reka’s federation. The nation has less than a half million people, but they come from many backgrounds and are tightly packed in five municipalities.
The first season of the two tier, two phase, too hot to handle football system consists of twenty four teams. After a double round robin, eighteen clubs in the system play in a second phase, with promotions, relegations, and international qualification on the line. The system succeeds a localized “municipal league” system, with three leagues and a tournament of champions. A cup tournament has also been established and offers more glory for clubs from the cove.

The teams from a preexisting event known as the “Cove Champions Cup” were all selected to play in the Cove League. Tugendhaft und Patriotisch FC, the final Cove Champions Cup victors, look to win their third national title ever. Prinsen af Rosen, who lost on goal difference, are the most successful club in Capital Cove, and are looking to bounce back from a three year national title drought with an influx of Rekan players. Cosmopolitan City FC from the northern inland city will represent multiculturalism in the Cove. Brodenbach United won two titles in a row, but collapsed last year. Brodenbach Pirates have only finished above their rivals once. Rekan Beach FC were a cinderella story, but midnight struck early last year. What time is it this season?
Four teams from outside of Capital Cove’s footballing system were selected for the top flight FC 4. Marts and oil backed Cove Petrol FC’s reserves were Capital Cove teams playing in the Rekan system, and were the top clubs from Capital Cove. How will they adjust to a new league? The Capital Cove Defense Forces were a de-facto national team, and faced amateur select sides from Zeta Reka in the Associations Select Cup. CCDF will exclusively use military members for their squads. Municipal Hovedstad, Spades FC, and Havmanniburg FC fill out The Cove League’s remaining slots after good finishes in Capital Cove’s three local leagues.

Three clubs from each of the cover leagues of old were selected for the Cove Challengers’ League. ACK Hovedstad, Castle Vine FC and Students FC came from the capital city. A left vs right battle is sure to rage as Students FC and Castle Vine get it on. Brodenbach Revivalists Church will pray for good fortune, while FCK Gamlefolk pray to the old gods. Salamanders FC run behind the other Brodenbach clubs, and were selected despite a poor finish last season. Salamanders were once a top club, and will look to revive in Capital Cove’s rebooted league. Missionaries AC might remind one of Revivalists Church, but the two loathe the other. Havmanniburg Workers will be looking to solve a debt crisis. Z.R.H. FC were chosen due to popularity, not performance.
The remaining three clubs for the Capital Cove league were controversially from outside of Capital Cove. The bigger nation of Zeta Reka and Hügeltaldom is a key ally of Capital Cove, but the presence of these clubs was controversial. Each one is from places well connected to the Cove, which is connected via roads to the tip of North West Hügeltaldom. Soleburg Frontiers played against two top flight Cove teams, but will have to start from below. Ingenieurarbeiten have always been a place for Cove Landers to play. FK Stassengrade sent their under sixteens to the Cove League. For senior clubs outside of the national tiers, it’s a hard pill to digest, but those clubs can’t change the situation.
