Fujais Idrottsforbund (FIF)Fujais Idrottsforbund is the federation of labor unions representing all sports players and workers in sports-associated industries. It is separate from the Fujansk government, but receives accreditation and financial and infrastructural support from it. Its structure includes clubs at the local level (e.g. a local sports club), which are constituents of fylke organizations, which are a part of the larger federation representing specific sports (e.g. Fujais Fotbollforbund for football), which are then members of FIF. FIF is a member of the Rhodoniad and OCTWPUS (Olympic Council of The West Pacific Union of Sports), and is Fujai's representative to the Olympic Council.
Fujais Fotbollforbund (FjFF)Fujais Fotbollforbund is the governing body of football in Fujai and represents all players, related workers, and clubs in the country. It governs Fujai's league system, consisting of Fyrstserien, Annarserien, Tredjeserien 1 and 2, and the landsdel leagues. Fylke leagues and lower are organized by the the fylke organizations.

Fyrstserien is at the top of Fujai's football league pyramid. It is mostly made up of clubs from large and mid-sized cities, though there are usually one or two from smaller towns. While the big four clubs of Almoren, Bruland, Solbakken, and Trondsnes are the winningest teams in the country, there is more skill parity among Fujansk clubs than there is in the average league. The 11th and 12th place clubs in Fyrstserien are relegated to Annarserien, and the 10th place club plays a three game promotion/relegation playoff against the 3rd place club from Annarserien.

Interesting tidbits:- Solbakken, one of the big four, has once again returned to the top of Fyrstserien.
- Last year's champions, Bruland IF of Strafsund had a real rough time of it this year with a 10-3-9 record and 7th place finish—one of the worst for the club many southerners view as the country's best.
- All three sides from the sparsely populated, but vast region of Hasmark performed badly this season. Havnarbetars and Rønnhavn barely escaped relegation, even as Lakseåker finished last.
Annarserien forms the second rung of the Fujansk football league pyramid. It is mostly made up of clubs from mid-sized and smaller cities, and enjoys a wide following throughout the country. The top two clubs are promoted to Fyrstserien, while the third place club plays in a three game promotion/relegation playoff against the 10th place team from Fyrstserien. The 11th and 12th place clubs are relegated to Tredjeserien 1 and 2 respectively, and the 10th place club plays in a promotion/relegation derby against the 2nd place teams from Tredjeserien 1 and 2.

Interesting tidbits:- After a year's time out in Annarserien, Jarnfoss has returned to Fyrstserien.
- Vaden, everyone's favorite Cinderella team from last year's Mestarskap, had a rough time of this year, being automatically relegated from Tredjeserien. Many look forward to a swift return, as they drew many new supporters from within and without their fylke in last year's Mestarskap.
Fujaismestarskap is the national football cup of Fujai. All clubs in Fyrstserien and Annarserien are entered automatically, though there are rumors that the Mestarskap will be expanded to include Tredjeserien teams, who currently play in their own cup. Semi-professional and amateur clubs each have their own football cups. Mestarskap matches take place throughout the regular season, culminating about 2/3 through. Pairings are drawn randomly after each round, and all matches take place on neutral ground.
