Season 20,052

After the devastating results in international play last year, the forecast for elven football was looking cloudy indeed. Dropping completely from the four Champions Cup spots tier to just a mere two was blow that struck at the psyche of the entire footballing community within Valanora, though it was buffered slightly having had this exact thing happen once before. However it has cast suspicions once more upon the quality of the domestic league and if the lack of foreigners in the lack or Vanorians playing abroad is a problem. With the likes of Polar Islandstates and United Gordonopia having usurped the title of the superior domestic league of the world out of seemingly nowhere, it gives reason that maybe the lack of an outside perspective has cost Vanorians the edge they had in the world.

Though if that were the case, the clubs did not show an overt concern, with no foreign imports during the transfer window and those that are already within Valanora's borders not getting any younger. Never the less, a football season was completed and with some very interesting results all around, especially for those who are fans of Vyintanese football. Disrupting the grip that United and Hondo have over the top flight, Vyinta burst their way with a boring but effective brand of football straight into second place. The loss of the Champions Cup spots severely hurt Hondo as a result, as they had a bit of a stumble this season as their high powered offensive was unable to completely outpace their opposition, slipping straight into seventh. However the revival that Char Sara had this season was a complete shock and they will be heading to a surprise entrance into the Globe Cup with their fourth place finish.

Soldarian will feel like they have horrible luck though, with having one of their best seasons in the past few years but nothing to show for their fifth place finish. Instead it was United, having comfortably captured the title, who suffered the shock of the season in the Silver Cup Final, losing to Club ESF. The Mar Sara based club had an okay year with their midtable finish in league play but their cup success was Soldarian's pain, nabbing the coveted spot in international competition and the richest and experience that might be. Rolalas quietly finished third and will make another trip along with Char Sara and Club ESF to the Globe Cup. Though the big news for Vyinta is that there will be three clubs from the tiny island in the top flight next season, with Samarga keeping afloat and AS Peravova clinching automatic promotion into the Premiership, joined by Straightdale FC and FC Wexax. Both of whom are traditional clubs looking to recover their a consistent top flight status after their stay in the second tier, though the second most historic club in Valanora disappointingly are once more stuck into the Star League, missing out on even a playoff spot. At this point, one has to wonder if Gladerial will ever be able to recover from last few decades of mediocrity they have endured.

Valanora's eyes though will be pointed towards the Champions Cup, seeing if the de facto flagship club of the nation will be able to bounce back from the hardships that Vanorian clubs have endured internationally. Ibini is not expected to get to the group stages unless through luck of the draw and the Globe Cup odds are not entirely favorable as well, and such it rests on the shoulders of United to bear the weight of expectation of the Vanorian people. Given their attitude as being the absolute best club in Valanora it is a weight they are all to happy to carry but how they handle it will be the story of the summer.

Valanora's (VAL) Final Site Bids
Champions Cup 50: Artani (74,000), Mar Sara - Located in the heart of Mar Sara, this modern stadium was built just under three decades ago with the best technology that the world has to offer. It is owned and operated by Mar Sara FC of the Elven Premier League and is routinely used by the VFA for domestic cup Final sites when a Mar Sara side is not in the Final. Artani offers all the best money can buy when it comes to a quality stadium and hopes to welcome all to the bread basket capital of Valanora.

Globe Cup 47: The Battleground (78,000), Raynor City - In the middle of the sprawling capital of Valanora, The Battleground is one of the oldest stadiums in the country. It underwent a major renovation nearly sixty years ago to become the premier and largest stadium in all of Valanora. Rail from all over the capital have stops outside the stadium making it easily accessible to all citizens and visitors to Valanora's capital. It has hosted several domestic and international Finals and is used to the commotion that large scale matches create and can accommodate all with proper security and seating. While not as new as Artani, the renovations made to the stadium have made it the premier stadium of Valanora.

Season 1958

If you live in or around Pualinthal, then I hope you are ready for celebrations galore, with CA Paulinthal pulling not only the Liga out for the Pasargans but also taking the Copa while Paulinthal FC won the Liga 2. All three avaible domestic trophies are coming into the city but rest assured that it was hardly a walk in the park for the heroes of your city. CAP just managed to win the Liga, with Sporting San Marquez being defeated away to SC Myrkan by a devastating five to two scoreline on the penultimate matchday that secured the title for coastal club and end a reign of Sargossa terror over the Liga. For those in Sargossa however, it has to be a painful reminder of just how the recent World Cup went, with the Wanderers edging out the Corsairs on the last matchday to advance. That result made this season very interesting as every match was an intense but respectful affair, with many creative cheers and shouts coming from almost every group of supporters. It was especially true with the Copa, where the troubles of the Sargossa sides was evident in what some were calling a post World Cup depression. It was only thanks to the draw that a Sargossan side even made it to the Final, where it was ultimately never going to be enough to send CAP to their doom.

Liventia–Ad’ihan Professional Football League
Season Eight

In the LAPFL, the top two flights consist of a total of 40 teams while the bottom three tiers are uniform divisions of 22 each. The 40 Premier League teams also contest the LAPFL Premier League Challenge Vase.

The tiebreakers across all five divisions of the LAPFL are constant: head-to-head results, head-to-head goal difference, goal difference, head-to-head goals scored, goals scored, head-to-head away goals, away goals, wins.

The two respective national champions in the A Premier League qualify for the Champions’ Cup, while the next two eligible teams qualify for the Globe Cup. To give the new Premier League Challenge Vase some authority, the third Globe Cup spot is awarded to the winner of the tournament, who also qualify for the Cygnus Cup. The top four teams from the B Premier League qualify for the Series B Cup.

Four teams move between the divisions at the conclusion of each season with the exception of relegation from and promotion to the B Premier League (three).

LAPFL Season 8
Premier League
Navon Beach attained dynasty status with an impressive fifth title in six seasons, though just two points clear of CS 1093 Modna Nord who pushed them close. Liventian champions Talbott retained their national crown but only managed a third place league finish. Former Liventian champions (and defending Vase holders) Orean United finished 13th, but successfully defended the Vase. In the B Premier, former big boys CF Mont-Pluie finally earned re-admission to the top flight, joining Hatton Town, Kinney Road and Altsend in an Ad’ihani clean sweep of the promotion places. There was bad news at the wrong end of the table, as inaugural LAPFL champions Oldbridge City suffered a second consecutive relegation to lose their Premier League status.

The Iturributan Premier Division: Season 657 Preview

Sporting Iturributa hold a two-title lead on an embittered United as the Iturributan Premier Division heads into its eleventh season: will Eneko Dicharry and his men pull off the three-peat or will the Scarlet Stripes take the initiative? And what surprises lie further down – was Langaraitz Rovers' third place a fluke or have they got what it takes to stay there?

Iturributa United are not at all pleased with themselves, throwing away last season's title by losing on the final two matchdays. A harsh blow, but one that has been put down more to bad luck than poor performance – they remain extremely potent going forwards and the enormous defensive errors have been eliminated with the addition of Severi Næss and a maturing understanding within the backline. Up front, veteran striker Gogo Beronda has been sold off to Astograth's Gortz United while Elwyn Richard is expected to play less of a role as age catches up to him; the attack is hence handed over to adept playmaker Kulikov and the teenage pairing of Nauzeau Roga and Pristina Shine. Shine, not just the first female in the Iturributan league but also the first non-humanoid, is expected to be much more than just a publicity stunt by United – and they don't mean to gore any of the Chevrons with her unicorn horn either.

Sporting, for their part, are very pleased with themselves and are confident they'll come away with their third title in a row – a new record in the Iturributan Premier Division. To that end, Dicharry has made a tidy profit selling off unwanted players to the Astograthian league – including former national team star Ixona Zarrasbeitia – and brought in no less than four young foreign players. Larissa Souza, from Northern Sunrise Islands, becomes the first woman to play for Sporting and will line up on the right flank; highly-rated Nur al Din Lambert from Darmen will likewise take his place in the middle of the pitch. Meanwhile Xander McDrew and Daniel Correia, from Taeshan and Pasarga respectively, are being projected as tomorrow's great strikers.

The Rest

Langaraitz Rovers
Ground: The Settling Grounds (24,400), Langaraitz
Colours: Black and light blue striped shirt, black shorts and socks
Shirt Sponsor: Iturrikola (Iturributan soft drinks)
Star Player: Obeko Mundutegi (AM)
Notes: The Rovers, inspired by amazingly talented youngster Obeko Mundutegi, are at the peak of their popularity thus far. They surprised everyone by finishing third last season, just two points off United and seven off Sporting, and put in a Globe Cup performance that saw them go down valiantly in the group stage, including an epic win at one-time Champions' Cup winners Four Bit Irregulars. Now it's a matter of whether they can keep up the good work over more than a single season...
Season 656: 3rd

Garitzeta Racing Club
Ground: Letatzadur Stadium (21,260), Garitzeta
Colours: Black and orange striped shirt, black shorts and socks
Honours: 1 President's Cups (652)
Shirt Sponsor: ChocoMilk (Citiz dairy products)
Star Player: Ilari Usun (LM)
Notes: They've had their ups and downs, but Garitzeta Racing boast a strong side founded on Ilari Usun and Yuaneizu Iribarnegaray that can comfortably challenge for third place – perhaps even second if one of the Big Two begins to trip up.
Season 656: 4th

Freedom FC
Ground: Lon Biteri Stadium (19,700), Iturributa
Colours: Red and yellow striped shirt, black shorts and socks
Honours: 1 President's Cups (655)
Shirt Sponsor: Hultman-Erstad (Polarian banking)
Star Player: Urtatz Gaubeka (CF)
Notes: Freedom FC have consolidated themselves in the Globe Cup spots without much trouble, though helped by the decline of Iturributa Racing. Last season their actual play was lacking, however, and manager Petrigai Mendiroz has had a busy off-season looking for players to surround star forward Urtatz Gaubeka with.
Season 656: 5th

Iturributa Racing Club
Ground: The Hippodrome (22,160), Iturributa
Colours: Orange shirt with black stripe, orange shorts and socks
Honours: 3 President's Cups (647, 650, 656)
Shirt Sponsor: Badiola (Iturributan automobiles)
Star Player: Anot Barteria (CM)
Notes: Iturributa Racing's fortunes have nosedived since the departure of Bayardo Morriyas as manager, struggling to qualify for the Globe Cup and ending up out of it repeatedly. Last season's Cup win has mellowed some of the fans, but another sub-par season could well be Estebe Bularte's last on the job.
Season 656: 6th

Independent Garitzeta
Ground: Martyrs Arena (43,350), Garitzeta
Colours: White with blue stripe, white shorts, blue socks
Shirt Sponsor: Pratarra (Iturributan alcoholic drinks)
Star Player: Anter Zubiate (GK)
Notes: Independent Garitzeta had it rough last season, fighting it out with Iturributa Racing but failing to play football anything more than mediocre. Goren Echazarreta's departure for the fame and riches of Royal Rumiatzi has been a significant blow, and it is doubtful whether they'll stay strong without him.
Season 656: 7th

Markiniz Union
Ground: Irranda Park (9,800), Markiniz
Colours: White shirt, dark green shorts and white socks
Shirt Sponsor: Ondraka (Iturributan hardware)
Star Player: Indartsu Oroza (DM)
Notes: Markiniz Union made history last season – by becoming the first team in the Premier Division to concede 100 goals in a league season. They at least make up for it with a solid midfield, but it would only take a few injuries – or just normal dips in form – for them to head down to the second tier.
Season 656: 8th

Andozketa Wanderers
Ground: Oyandiano Stadium (16,000), Andozketa
Colours: Red and black striped shirt, red shorts and socks
Shirt Sponsor: Neaskor (Astograthian tyres)
Star Player: Esturo Lain (CM)
Notes: Andozketa Wanderers are in a similar position to Markiniz Union, strong in midfield but fairly feeble in defense – and more importantly, very slow and disorganised in their play. Seeing them in the relegation zone would not be a surprise.
Season 656: 9th

Baker's Eleven
Ground: Bartewick Bluff (5,800), Iturributa
Colours: Red shirt, black shorts, red socks
Shirt Sponsor: Bartewick Financial (Citiz banking)
Star Player: Mendebal Zariategi (RM)
Notes: Baker's Eleven dominated the second tier last season with strong and fast wing play, and will now make their long-awaited top-flight début. They'll do well to learn from Providence Mytanars, though – the Premier Division is unlike anything they've faced before.
Season 656: Premier Division B champions

Licentian Football Pyramid

Season… Okay, I Admit It, I Don’t Know What Season I’m On Anymore

Another season of football on the Licentian Isles (yes, another new name for the UICA administrators to use) has just been completed, with some surprises in qualifications. Let’s take a look at the league tables.

The Astograthian Football League: Season 657 Preview
Sponsored by

The 24th season is well and ready to kick off after the madness that was Royal Rumiatzi's sixth title win, decided by goal difference after the Knights ended up tied on points with Astograth University and Urbizania Wanderers. Ituraitz FC aren't happy to have let their eighth (and third successive) title slip from their hands on the last matchday, finishing fourth by a whopping single point, and are out for revenge. Don't forget Echegoyan FC either, ever ready... to say nothing of Oyardo FC and company, stalking on the fringes.

Transfers

- Fronden Abel (Apox) from Oldcastle United (Boring Paradise) to Blue Mountain Range
- Victor Äsmundsen (Åsløtten-Bëðerbørg så Česky) signed by Ituraitz Victory as a free agent
- Casper Constable (Sameba) from Directus (Eura) to Antiguoko FC
- Kyle Cooper (Eura) from Revolutionaries (EUR) to Echegoyan FC
- Cristiano Damían (Sargossa) from Ciudad Soluca (SRG) to Astograth University
- Federico Ferreyra (Sargossa) from Gortz United to Urbizania Wanderers
- Fernand Girard (Sicoutimont) from Blue Mountain Range to Astograth University
- Victoria Hellion (Yesopalitha) signed by Athletic Club Olarria as a free agent
- Lucas Holtzmann (Pasarga) signed by Oyardo FC as a free agent
- Risko Kâí (Farfadillis) from Mâ Âlâmëómë (FFD) to Urbizania Wanderers
- Risko Kâí (Farfadillis) on loan from Urbizania Wanderers to Antiguoko FC
- Riemi Kakuta (Pasarga) signed by Athletic Club Olarria as a free agent
- Val Kylx (Slembana) from Royal Rumiatzi to Pezcemá Golden Magikarps (Northern Sunrise Islands)
- Alejandro Martinuccio (Sargossa), last at Astograth University, retires from football
- Emil Rasmußen (Åsløtten-Bëðerbørg så Česky) signed by Gesterlake FC as a free agent
- Gerhard Thunder (New Sideburn) from Sabrefell Moths (NSB) to Astograth University
- Martin van Snaartsen (Sicoutimont) on loan from Echegoyan FC to Athletic Club Yungoitio
- Jane Vander Rox (Yesopalitha) signed by Urbizania Wanderers as a free agent

A very active transfer window saw a large influx of foreign players into the First Division. Jane Vander Rox and Victoria Hellion, the Yesopalithan stars, returned to the league after a season away, albeit to different clubs; Vander Rox has been signed by Urbizania Wanderers, while Hellion is eager to début with Athletic Club Olarria. As one great Sargossan retired, Federico Ferreyra moved from the surprising Gortz Untied to the giants of Urbizania Wanderers, and young right-back Cristiano Damían has arrived as one of Astograth University's big bets for the future. Contacts with the Euran league resulted in Echegoyan FC signing the downcast Kyle Cooper for a bargain price, and Antiguoko FC are looking to make a lasting impression in the top flight by taking on Sameban international Casper Constable.

Blue Mountain Range have brought over Apoxian centre-back Fronden Abel from Boring Paradise to perhaps teach their youngsters a thing or two, and a pair of Pasargan U21 players have been secured by Oyardo FC and Athletic Club Olarria. Åsløtten-Bëðerbørg så Česky may be taking its first steps in the international arena, but Emil Rasmußen and Victor Äsmundsen have already convinced Gesterlake FC and Ituraitz Victory, respectively, to take them on. Farf wonderkid sensation Risko Kâí has been signed by Urbizania Wanderers and immediately loaned out to Antiguoko FC so he might get some playing experience; similarly, Sicoutian goalkeeper Martin van Snaartsen has been loaned from Echegoyan FC to Athletic Club Yungoitio. Another Sicoutian moving clubs is Fernand Girard, trading Blue Mountain Range for Astograth University; joining powerful New Sideburn forward Gerhard Thunder as the aforementioned Damían as the AU's new signings.

The only outgoing international transfer was Val Kylx's move from Royal Rumiatzi to Pezcemá Golden Magikarps, haven't won the double last year with the Knights. Club officials described his overall performance as “disappointing” during his Rumiatzi spell, while Kylx simply declared himself “mystified” by it all.

First Division

Royal Rumiatzi
Ground: Knights' Stadium (70,000), Rumiatzi
Colours: White shirt, dark blue shorts and socks
Honours: 6 Leagues (634, 635, 637, 643, 648, 656) · 4 Royal Cups (634, 644, 654, 656) · Aeropag Football Invitational 22
Manager: Gaur Arambilet
Lineup: Alarabi Galayarde; Tristan Desmond, Anartz Agirrebenia, Lerchun Isasi, Natasha Klossovskaya; Aintôrthea Durosa, Galeano (C), Josef Vitek, Goren Echazarreta; Ellis Elmsvikur, Aitor Rekalde
Shirt Sponsor: Torstebank (Blockhead banking)
Notes: It may have been by the slightest of margins, but that doesn't take any luster from Royal Rumiatzi's sixth First Division title win, inching closer to Ituraitz FC's seven. Gaur Arambilet has proven himself a shrewd manager, and heading into the title defense will look to maintain his sides' characteristic equilibrium, solid in defense and potent in attack. This last element may be the weakest, what with Ellis Elmsvikur slowing down and his partner being the largely untested Aitor Rekalde, but the wings are strong and squad depth is such that it shouldn't be a major inconvenience. New playmaker Goren Echazarreta will be one to watch, having been brought over for big money from humble Iturributan outfit Independent Garitzeta.
Season 656: Champions

Astograth University
Ground: Arritzola (36,350), Rumiatzi
Colours: White and light blue halved shirt, light blue shorts and white socks
Honours: 1 League (649) · 2 Royal Cups (648, 650) · Aeropag Football Invitational 23
Manager: Ubelteso Adin
Lineup: Argider Gorriaran; Larendi Goriz, Haitz Maistegi, Fernand Girard, Cristiano Damían; Aurre Ilarri, Ayoro Barinaga, Lekubegi Guerrikaechebarria (C), Gaitzka Ogara; Gerhard Thunder, Azubeli Garat
Shirt Sponsor: Astek (Astograthian electronics)
Notes: Surprisingly, Astograth University beat Ituraitz FC on the last day of the season and climbed up to second place, beating Wanderers on head-to-head results and beaten by Royal Rumiatzi on goal difference. Ubelteso Adin, himself a former centre-back and national team captain, has organised arguably the best defense in the First Division, and now reinforced it with the highly-rated Sargossan Cristiano Damían and Sicoutian Fernand Girard, displacing the ageing Efraín Vizcaíno and Bakar Laranaga. Ilarri and Barinaga remain a formidable midfield link, Guerrikaechebarria still has it, and Thunder is ready to make a thunderous impact; meanwhile, Ogara and Garat are undoubtedly among the best young players in Astograth. University's future looks bright after many years of underperformance.
Season 656: Runners-up

Urbizania Wanderers
Hometown: Urbizania
Ground: Cherketzo Arena (53,200), Urbizania
Colours: All dark green kit
Honours: 1 League (651) · 3 Royal Cups (643, 652, 653) · Champions' Cup 43
Manager: Atzeden Lusa
Lineup: Polentzi Gayategi; Eyvindur Ostland, Giro Ekenarro, Yokin Arizmande (C), Tykaraije Makureru; Edwardo Baez, Felix Zajaczek, Jane Vander Rox, Laborious Hawk; Ivari Kaitanen, Federico Ferreyra
Shirt Sponsor: Farautoo (Polarian vehicles)
Notes: The most cosmopolitan of international sides – something Royal Rumiatzi envies them for – was left without a manager following Edorta Urrustoy's appointment to the Astograthian national team. The directors have scrambled for one and have signed Atzeden Lusa, who has achieved great success with Oyardo FC and has plenty of experience in the game. So far, he's redefined the Wanderers' strategy, doing away with Urrustoy's double-pivot scheme and signing Sargossan forward Federico Ferreyra from Gortz United to team up with Ivari Kaitanen. He has brought in Jane Vander Rox and pushed for a greater role from young players, incorporating several into the first team and loaning out new Farf signing Risko Kâí. Some bold moves, but will they replicate Urrustoy's massive success?
Season 656: 3rd

Ituraitz FC
Ground: Ituraitz Sporting Ground (63,000), Ituraitz – shared with Ituraitz Victory
Colours: All red kit
Honours: 7 Leagues (636, 641, 642, 647, 652, 654, 655) · 5 Royal Cups (637, 640, 641, 646, 649) · 4 Ides of March Cups (641, 652, 654, 655) · Aeropag Football Invitational 26 · Champions' Cup 47 · Globe Cup 45 · Super Cup 44 · Copa de Campeones 20
Manager: Ichaso Chapitel
Lineup: Machin Logegaray; Colin Collymore, Etor Yauregialzo, Roger Steiner, Dima Petersen (C); Alexis Zeljeznicar, Ikatz Alberro, Ostoja Maric, Ekhi Subies; Ibai Kiriano, Alphonse Richelieu
Shirt Sponsor: ChocoMilk (Citiz dairy products)
Notes: They let it slip at the last, and haven't forgiven themselves for it. Reflecting on just how insanely close last season was is no consolation for the most dominant team to come out of Astograth, and Ichaso Chapitel is confident they'll be back to winning this time around. It's hard to argue against a team that combines experience and youth, speed and precision, attack and defense with such stoic balance as to reach perfection – or a few seasons ago, at least. Not innovative at this point, but the most formidable side nevertheless.
Season 656: 4th

Echegoyan FC
Ground: Silanes Park (55,140), Echegoyan
Colours: White and green striped shirt, green shorts and socks
Honours: 3 Leagues (644, 650, 653) · 1 Royal Cup (645) · 1 Ides of March Cup (653)
Manager: Garoa Larzondo
Lineup: Burni Gorrindo; Ximun Yaka, Kyle Cooper, Morten Salo, Raitin Eneriz; Koldobika Benitzaizin, Zeledon Urralburu, Iban Bachiondo (C), Laurin Mankisidor; Baudouin Richelieu, Yeremi Belaustigetigoitia
Shirt Sponsor: Yogutz (Astograthian dairy products)
Notes: They were a ways off the title race last time, but Echegoyan are ever watchful and have prepared themselves to mount a challenge this season. The defense is not as youthful as Larzondo would like, but Kyle Cooper, Burni Gorrindo and Raitin Eneriz all have copious amounts of experience – and don't forget Morten Salo is now a Copa Rushmori champion. The midfield is efficient and dynamic, and the strikers are unforgiving. Of note will be Laurin Mankisidor, who with only 19 years of age has been subject to a many million-diru transfer from Royal Rumiatzi and is now expected to lead the Echegoyani midfield.
Season 656: 5th

Oyardo FC
Ground: The Willows (45,300), Oyardo
Colours: White and red striped kit, black shorts and socks
Honours: 2 Royal Cups (651, 655)
Manager: Iban Balinaga
Lineup: Zuriko Eliz; Aitor Bustingorry, Adame Ordozkoiti, Lucas Holtzmann, Kimetz Obonaga; Yurpá Mêndêlöíndçêl, Berdaitz Ide, Rodrigo Defederico, Aletsander Gastiazoro, Peli Alzu (C); Eguzki Berriex
Shirt Sponsor: MaksiMerk (Astograthian supermarkets)
Notes: They missed the Globe Cup by three points, but Oyardo FC have been on the rise for a while now anyway – the big problem being they're now without Atzeden Lusa, and it isn't clear yet whether East Railway's Iban Balinaga is the right man for the job. As far as transfers go he hasn't done a bad job, at least, signing Pasargan youngster Lucas Holtzmann, but critics are already accusing him of being too comfortable in his new position – though complacency hasn't ever been a characteristic trait of Balinaga's. We'll have to wait and see, but on paper this is a strong team. Perhaps lacking depth up front, but young and strong – and very eager to make the most of their brand new stadium.
Season 656: 6th

Gortz United
Ground: Ibakultzara Stadium (10,650), Gortz
Colours: All lavender kit
Honours: None
Manager: Gito Pizan
Lineup: Gaxan Echabeguren (C); Luar Berriatua, Zarles Erria, Luk Agirrebalzategi, Bikendi Iraeta; Tzemeno Baxterrika, Orti Eskobar, Otsoko Bastida, Tartalo Achaga; Bayarte Pagagartundua, Gogo Beronda
Shirt Sponsor: Henrik (Polarian banking)
Notes: Gortz United were quite the shock last season, Gito Pizan at last showing what he's capable of as he guided his unfancied side to a seventh-place finish. Of course, Sargossan striker Federico Ferreyra was inevitably whisked away, but they've quickly secured the services of veteran Gogo Beronda from Sporting Iturributa and exciting young forward Bayarte Pagagartundua from second-tier Ximun Orieta FC. They seem well-poised to take on the coming season, but would do very well to simply remain seventh.
Season 656: 7th

South Factory
Ground: The Foundry (37,710), Rumiatzi
Colours: All yellow kit
Honours: None
Manager: Svennis Moller
Lineup: Chomin Lezeta; Ostadar Gurina, Gilen Salbarrei, Larendi Berruet, Iban Zarazua; Orkatz Gardeazabal, Hanni Andikola, Balasi Pagadigorria, Yon Gayastegi (C); Mayu Yurrita, Anixi Yaureguialzo
Shirt Sponsor: Poplaberg (Polarian housing)
Notes: Showing signs of much improvement, South Factory came eighth right after returning from Second Division. They are certainly not lacking names on the pitch and on the sidelines, though some more international experience in the mix would do them well. Maintaining last season's style of play would be a step forward - and all eyes are on the development of winger Orkatz Gardeazabal.
Season 656: 8th

Gesterlake FC
Ground: Castle Hill (38,630), Gesterlake
Colours: Yellow shirt, dark blue shorts, yellow socks
Honours: None
Manager: Louis Vaudrail
Lineup: Kariet Berterriex; Dunixi Dibar, Aitzol Garat, Bardol Oiskonta, Churio Sesma; Gurutz Nekochea, Emil Rasmußen, Inko Alurralde (C), Iraunkor Bages; Totakoxe Riarte, Georges Allonts
Shirt Sponsor: Dukomm (Astograthian telecommunications)
Notes: Last season wasn't the best for Vaudrail's men, keeping things neat at the back but often failing to find the net despite having a host of fairly good strikers on hand. The defense is showing its age, too, so it's quite uncertain how they'll hold up this year; Churio Sesma and Iraunkor Bages, for their part, are looking like ones for the future.
Season 656: 9th

Athletic Club Olarria
Ground: North Point Stadium (44,270), Olarria
Colours: Claret shirt with sky blue hoop, claret shorts and socks
Honours: None
Manager: Eate Orkiola
Lineup: Bela Darkibel; Luken Iturricha, Yosu Arankibia, Edorta Garro, Anton Axpuru (C); Riemi Kakuta, Bernat Lateche, Agozti Ibarran, Ibon Galdo; Victoria Hellion, Bakar Oronio
Shirt Sponsor: Barrertze (Astograthian tourism services)
Notes: They've lost centre-back Lerchun Isasi to Royal Rumiatzi, but overall Athletic Club Olarria have reinforced themselves well by taking on Victoria Hellion, Riemi Kakuta and Bakar Oronio. The defense, though featuring Anton Axpuru and Edorta Garro, is somewhat suspect, but going forward this is a good side that could, with some guile, propel itself to challenge for a Globe Cup spot.
Season 656: 10th

Athletic Club Rumiatzi
Ground: Gotorlekua (42,000), Rumiatzi
Colours: White and blue striped shirt, blue shorts and socks
Honours: None
Manager: Arkaitz Goyenola
Lineup: Echepare Larrea; Goi Salha, Gaxan Minola, Ixona Zarrasbeitia; Bingen Mandaka, Pagomari Zamarriyo, Erramun Guza (C), Ehiotz Subiri; Mendiko Dicharry, Eddie Barlow, Otsando Irubieta
Shirt Sponsor: Rumikola (Astograthian soft drinks)
Notes: A middling showing from Athletic Club Rumiatzi, though at least not down in the relegation battle like other years they've struggled. They ought to keep aiming upwards, but what with 31 year-old Ixona Zarrasbeitia as the only major signing, Goyenola's days in Rumiatzi could soon come to a swift end.
Season 656: 11th

East Railway
Ground: Narbaitza Memorial Stadium (17,930), Rumiatzi
Colours: Grey and black striped shirt, black shorts and socks
Honours: None
Manager: Egoitz Malgor
Lineup: Andoni Chiri; Nuno Inyurrita, Efraín Vizcaíno, Yakobe Nikuesa, Biryayo Madinabeitia; Artzeiz Kuartango, Bazkoare Beyanabe, Zuriko Bartzuren, Kelmen Anchia; Ixaka Segura, Iker Malik (C)
Shirt Sponsor: Senbesa (Astograthian insurance)
Notes: Going from second-tier domination (and the SBCC final) to twelfth place can be considered a moderate success, though East Railway has prepared itself considerably since returning to the top flight. They have some very talented players, if old, and although the departure of manager Iban Balinaga was unexpected, Egoitz Malgor has achieved some notoriety with Izarloka FC in the Second Division – hopefully it'll translate well to the first tier of the Football League.
Season 656: 12th

Blue Mountain Range
Ground: Ximun Orieta Sporting Ground (34,000), Echegoyan
Colours: All light blue kit
Honours: None
Manager: Bizi Boutayre
Lineup: Yoritz Suastegi; Edur Raizabal (C), Fronden Abel, Etor Oyhanar, Errolan Raskolin, Erensuge Mezanza; Hannibal, Marchot Zabaliauregi, Baleren Uruztarzu, Mikelatz Algarte; Todor Arreche
Shirt Sponsor: Notzi Zombees (Taeshani energy drinks)
Notes: They've lost Fernarnd Girard and taken in Fronden Abel – the cycle continues at Blue Mountain Range, where hanging perilously close to the relegation zone and your top scorer bagging maybe 5 goals a season are facts of life. The fans aren't amused, but it seems almost like a physical law that BMR simply will not drop to the second tier.
Season 656: 13th

Lermendia FC
Ground: Itzarrak Sporting Ground (21,450), Lermendia
Colours: White and green hooped shirt, white shorts and socks
Honours: None
Manager: Goren Barrenechea
Lineup: Rizvan Kadyrov; Baleren Parrondo, Larendi Goriz, Echepare Zuleta, Pagomari Tsamudio (C); Ihazintu Monkaut, Zeledon Karou, Zabal Lizaran, Errolan Echaburua; Axular Gorrindo, Formerio Iturralde
Shirt Sponsor: Lantzia (Astograthian luxury vehicles)
Notes: Here's one saved by the rulebook – Lermendia FC became the first and only club to finish 14th and not be relegated in the First Division, after it was decided only the bottom two teams would go down, to allow for an increase to 18 in the league. Lucky them. Money is scarce and mostly goes to paying their best players' high wages, though, so it's unclear how long they'll hang on now – Mytanar keeper Rizvan Kadyrov's first season as starting keeper should be a busy one, at least.
Season 656: 14th

Ituraitz Victory
Ground: Ituraitz Sporting Ground (63,000), Ituraitz – shared with Ituraitz FC
Colours: Blue shirt, white shorts, blue socks
Honours: 1 Royal Cup (639)
Manager: Chachu Larreburo
Lineup: Ametz Teyechea; Dei Zengotita, Iturri Samalbide, Erramun Gambarri, Yelchu Apalategi; Abarrotz Ituarte, Bayardo Eskostegi, Loiola Muhaburu (C), Victor Äsmundsen; Belche Goroztiza, Baladi Behelaborde
Shirt Sponsor: Petromok (Astograthian petrol)
Notes: Victory are back and in style, bringing in unwanted players from top sides like Urbizania Wanderers and Sporting Iturributa as well as scouting out Victor Äsmundsen and signing him on for no transfer fee. Chachu Larreburro is a shrewd dealer, and this Victory side looks poised to stay up for a while now – a definite reversal of fortunes since they almost dropped to the third tier.
Season 656: Second Division champions

Athletic Club Yungoitio
Ground: Gartzen Treko Stadium (43,500), Yungoitio
Colours: Red shirt with white cross, white shorts and socks
Honours: None
Manager: Atseden Echebarne
Lineup: Martin Van Snaartsen; Zohiartze Andaburu (C), Egoitz Idarreta, Oskarbi Edera, Teyo Eliz; Atzo Irameche, Soter Guridy, Azubeli Echeperestou, Anartz Garaikoechea, Indartsu Errendasoro, Lartaun Estibariz
Shirt Sponsor: Mendebal (Astograthian tourism)
Notes: They're back! And with a brand new ground as well, built partly for the Baptism of Fire and partly as part of a government program to grant the western region a proper football stadium. Manager Atseden Echebarne has wisely avoided building the team around a few key players that can be easily pinched by richer clubs, instead focussing on youth and a fast style of play that has proven very effective. New signing Indartsu Errendasoro should provide a goalscoring presence,
and young Sicoutian keeper Martin Van Snaartsen, acquired on loan, should prove to be an excellent deal for him and both clubs involved.
Season 656: 2nd in Second Division

Antiguoko FC
Ground: The Enclave (32,700), Antiguoko
Colours: Red and white quartered shirt, red shorts and socks
Honours: None
Manager: Urdin Olibarri
Lineup: Charan Asteinza; Aralar Dorisboure, Xabat Aberastegi, Gero Echezuri, Oihan Bradaris; Igor Musatche, Zuzen Eturaspe, Anixi Oras, Casper Constable, Itzaina Soreasu, Risko Kâí
Shirt Sponsor: KAT (Astograthian steel)
Notes: It's been 14 long years since Antiguoko FC made there sole appearance in the Astograthian First Division, even dropping further down and winning the Second Division B. Now they're back, under the watchful guidance of former Ituraitz FC star Urdin Olibarri, and they intend to make the most of it. Charan Asteinza and Zuzen Eturaspe, all with plenty of top-flight experience, have been added to a young, talented squad; Sameban international Casper Constable has been their biggest coup thus far, and he is joined by the Farf sensation Risko Kâí, on loan from Urbizania Wanderers. The fans are excited and the 20,000 season tickets are sold out – after 14 years Antiguoko is ready to go!
Season 656: 3rd in Second Division

Royal Ibarbe
Ground: Erda Street (19,000), Ibarbe
Colours: Purple shirt, yellow shorts, purple socks
Honours: None
Manager: Iaki Urrutia
Lineup: Aketza Frauka; Baladi Berhongaray, Michaut Otermin, Ametz Arburua, Yuanchiki Mutuberria; Eleder Arizmandez (C), Loyola Alegria, Iracho Ondoro, Anter Orradre, Gau Inchauspe, Arkaitz Gariaga
Shirt Sponsor: GaureBet (Astograthian betting)
Notes: Royal Ibarbe got something of a free pass to the First Division by virtue of being in the right place at the right time – just when the league expanded to 18 teams, as it happens. They lack the money to build a competitive side and will be looking to hang on any way they can. Thankfully Iaki Urrutia has plenty of experience with small, recently-promoted teams – though not the best experiences, it must be said.
Season 656: 4th in Second Division

The Iturributan Premier Division: Season 657 Review
Preview

Some interesting results in the eleventh season of Iturributan football! Unexpected, even. Is the winner someone other than United or Sporting? I said unexpected, not nigh-impossible.

Premier Division
That the champions and runners-up are now often separated by more than three points perhaps indicates that this is becoming less of a battle between two – although the four big Derbies that take place during the season are no less entertaining, with this season providing what may just be the four most bizarre in memory, although they ultimately did not make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.

Both Sporting and United started off with the right foot, but their paths crossed on just the second matchday and the Scarlet Stripes came away with a confident 3-0 win, Nauzeau Roga twice beating Ilarduya and Andima Etchaleku adding his own as the match came to a close. A resounding victory for United, which lifted their spirits and inspired them to string together three more wins before a 4-4 draw against the combative Langaraitz Rovers – though they would not give up the lead for the whole rest of the season once they got ahold of it after that first Derby, beating Sporting by a whole 9 points.

The second Derby, with Sporting as the “home”, ended in a 3-1 United win, but one marred by accusations of referee bias after the Chevrons had not one but two players sent off in the first half, Oxel Nuin and Josh Stevenson both losing their cool after von Leeweonheouck delayed a throw-in and sparked a short but vicious brawl – the United players involved receiving no more than yellow cards, whereas Stevenson already had one and Nuin elbowed Kulikov in the head. Still, they held onto the draw for a long stretch, until they simply couldn't keep up and Gometzano Idoyaga, as well as that old face Elwyn Richard, sealed the win and increased the distance between the two to a ludicrous 17 points, though Sporting languered in fourth place and the frustration mounted.

By the time of their third meeting, United held a 15-point lead over a surprising Independent Garitzeta side, and a further 6 points separated them from Sporting. With contained rage, Sporting let it all go and their rivals stepped up to the challenge. The thrilling 4-4 draw was only complete when Marin Mendazona skipped past Paige and sent in a cross that Edur Maskiaran slid to meet – and drove straight into his own net. A kick in the teeth for United, though it was only a taste of what was to come.

By the fourth Derby, still with seven more matches to go for the end of the season, 11 points separated United from Independent Garitzeta and 13 from Sporting; they were understandably confident, but there is simply no explanation for the 7-1 Sporting win that followed, the most lopsided Iturributan Derby on record. Ukariz (x2), Nuin, Lambert, Stevenson and McDrew all rubbed salt into United's open wound, Pristina Shine's solitary goal at least keeping them from boasting a clean sheet. One set of fans was delirious, the other speechless – no amount of titles can erase the humiliation the Scarlet Stripes suffered that day, and a win like that even made second place tolerable for the Chevrons.

To speak of the rest, Freedom FC were lifted up to third by another strong scoring season by Urtatz Gaubeka, while Independent Garitzeta loosened their grip on second place as the season wore on and were brought down by a serious dip in form towards the end. Garitzeta Racing were disappointed to finish a whole 8 points behind their closest rivals, though they at least one-upped their other rivals on head-to-head results, sneaking into the last Globe Cup spot. Iturributa Racing were understandably not amused by this and have sacked Estebe Bularte. Langaraitz Rovers seemed to confirm last season was a fluke by dropping back down to seventh place while Baker's Eleven clung onto the top flight. Andozketa Wandererers were tipped for relegation, but after a long, hard tussle with Markiniz Union remained on their feet thanks to goal difference.

ITURRIBUTA UNITED
(5th title)

Premier Division B
Ingenious play from Guenara Defender saw them promoted to the Premier Division, though many would've preferred Uzio Blackstar or Eagles FC's risky tactics. The midtable was surprisingly well-fought, Palmandoak and Focus FC taking the fight to the fancied Sorokin's Old Boys, who were disappointed to not even make the SBCC, ending up behind their fellows at Providence Mytanars.

No surprises in the First Round, in which second-tier sides fight for the privilege of joining the Premier Division teams in the Round of 16, though there were some heated derbies between Palmandoak and Sorokin's Old Boys and the two clubs from Guenara. Landaluz Casuals' reversal of a 3-0 first leg result was an epic into its own as well, taking the reutrn leg to extra time to knock out Axpuru Castle.

Now we're talking!

Uzio Blackstar knocked out Sorokin's Old Boys, Guenara Defender pulled off something of an upset by beating top-flight Andozketa Wanderers, and the matches between Independent Garitzeta and Langaraitz Rovers were a joy to behold, the Garitzetans ultimately winning out.

Garitzeta Racing expertly cooled down Eagles FC to book their tickets to the semifinals, as Sporting Iturributa went to the Hippodrome needing to turn around a 1-0 loss and managed thanks to Barea Ukariz and Larissa Souza. Independent Garitzeta struggled to defeat Uzio Blackstar, but this round's big talking point was Guenara Defender's shock 3-2 win at Old City Stadium and the subsequent 5-1 thrashing of Defender by United at the Final Frontier stadium.

There was potential for either a Garitzetan Derby or an Iturributan Derby in the final; it was neither, Sporting Iturributa brushing aside Garitzeta Racing and Independent Garitzeta taking the smash-and-grab away win to then draw at home and avoid the same fate as Guenara Defender, making it to their first-ever Cup final.

SECOND LEG

(0-2 agg)

It was a final matchup that not many would've predicted, but Josh Stevenson's looping shot over Anter Zubiate was the only thing separating Sporting from Independent after 90 minutes at Old City Stadium. The home side expected to make themselves strong at Martyrs Arena, but gave up a penalty early on; in the end it turned out to be more of a blessing in disguise, Zubiate containing Nuin's shot and putting a dent in the Chevron's morale, who fell back on themselves and did what they've always done best: hold on. Tension was rife until substitute Daniel Correia received out left and dribble into the box, fooling Arixo Erkiya and dispatching a near post shot that Zubiate did not expect and did not save.

Having lost last season's final to Iturributa Racing Club and this Premier Division edition to Iturributa United, Sporting saved some face by winning their fifth title, Mikel Aluztiza holding the trophy aloft amidst red and gold confetti in the rapidly-emptying Martyrs Arena.

The Astograthian Football League: Season 657 Review
Sponsored by

Preview

For the first time ever in 24 seasons, the Astograthian Football League has, in one fell swoop, expanded from a measly 52 clubs to a whole 64, with the First Division encompassing 18, the Second Division 22 and Second Division B, 24; playoff promotion systems have been incorporated into the latter two, and in short the league system has gotten all sorts of exciting – nevermind the title battle with all its twists and turns!

First Division
An exciting season, the first to feature 18 teams; more kicks, goals and matches than anyone could possibly keep track of! Urbizania Wanderers, under new manager Atzeden Lusa, have come away with their second First Division title after a display of dominance, taking the lead from Echegoyan FC and holding for the last 20 matchdays as those beneath ran out of breath trying to keep up. The title was comfortably secured one week from the end: with six points in play and a six-point difference, Ituraitz FC's loss at Oyardo FC on Saturday secured the trophy for Wanderers even though they lost to East Railway on Sunday.

In doing away with Edorta Urrustoy's double pivot formation, figuring Baez could cope on his own with some assistance from the full-backs and a retracted Vander Rox, Lusa leavened the scoring burden previously placed on Kaitanen, making the goals flow between him, Ferreyra and Hawk – the latter outshining everyone else with one man of the match performance after another, masterfully orchestrating the team throughout the whole season. One to cherish for the Wanderers, as Arizmande lifted the trophy six years after they first won it.

The Champions' Cup spots remained relatively static, with the same three teams fighting for dominance, but that didn't make it any less interesting. Ituraitz FC and Echegoyan FC maintained their title challenge for a sustained period of time, until a 2-0 loss to the Wanderers put the latter out of contention, Gorriaka following suit after dropping points to Gortz United, Lermendia FC and, fatally, Oyardo FC – going on to give up second place to the Highlanders after a scoreless draw against Blue Mountain Range, which left a very bad taste in the fans' mouths. Zeljeznicar and Richelieu were the Reds' standout players, but in general the team's performance was a far cry from their golden days and Chapitel should be ready to shake things up. Larzondo's Echegoyan, for their part, impressed with their emphasis on pressing and cohesion in getting the ball back, centre-back Morten Salo in particular putting in some match-winning performances against tough opposition – especially at Astograth University, where the hard-fought win kept them in the title race for a while yet.

Royal Rumiatzi never looked like falling below fourth place, but as far as title defenses go it wasn't a strong one. Though they played good football, it was an irregular season in which their gamble for youth strikers plus Ellis Elmsvikur didn't pay off. They struggled to take the game to even humble opponents, and will have to content themselves with the Globe Cup.

Oyardo FC, meanwhile, succeeded in making the Globe Cup and playing a fast and fluid type of football that showed the best of Iban Balinaga's tactical genius, making a late comeback up the table to take fifth place, Farf midfielder Yurpá Mêndêlöíndçêl taking all the plaudits for playing in big striker Eguzki Berriex in such vital wins as the 3-2 at Gortz United and the 3-1 victory over Ituraitz FC. Astograth University failed to repeat last season's good showing, but considering what they had in play they are content to be in the Globe Cup. Their defense remains, on paper, the best in the league, Fernand Girard and Cristiano Damían showing maturity well beyond their age in keeping the ball clear of the net. Gaitzka Ogara and Gerhard Thunder likewise did well, though Azubeli Garat was a disappointment and missed a number of opportunities over the season that could've been worth several points by themselves.

Gortz United repeated their seventh-place finish, this time lacking Federico Ferreyra, thanks to one unlikely First Division top scorer: 20 year-old Bayarte Pagagartundua, brought in from Ximun Orieta FC and not expected to do much of anything, set the league on fire with 25 goals in 30 matches played, often carrying the team by himself; if they can hang onto and build the team around Pagagartundua, Gortz will be very well poised to make for the Globe Cup for next season.

Further down, Gesterlake FC were somewhat disappointed not to have made the Globe Cup, having drifted around those positions until about 2/3rds of the way into the season, though they were very happy to have solved their problems finding the net, regularly scoring and largely thanks to the playmaking attributes of new signing Emil Rasmußen. East Railway, 9th, actually sat in 11th place for most of the season until that 2-0 win over Urbizania Wanderers, the day after they'd mathematically won the league, pushed them up into the middle of the midtable. A satisfactory performance all things considered, finding solid footing in the First Division under Egoitz Malgor.

Athletic Clubs Rumiatzi and Olarria have a right to be disappointed with themselves, as they could've challenged for more but instead sit in midtable, the former with severe troubles in defense and the latter with a severe case of headless chickens syndrome. Goyenola insists on playing a backline of 3 that wastes the valuable work of their forwards, while Orkiola has his players running around almost independently of each other, connecting with each other to make and stop goals seemingly by chance or their own innate brilliance. Both will be under review in the off-season, no doubt.

Down in the pits, but not quite the relegation zone, South Factory could've done much better but seemed to learn from their mistakes as the season carried on, which bodes well; Royal Ibarbe could consider themselves lucky to survive, largely thanks to Iaki Urrutia's good work with what little he has; Ituraitz Victory diced with death in the early parts of the season before finding something of a path and sticking to it, striker Baladi Behelaborde and attacking midfielder Victor Åsmundsen playing a large part in it; and yes, it's official, we called it: Blue Mountain Range simply cannot go down, perennially hanging right over the cliff but somehow remaining alive.

In the red zone, we also sort of called it. Lermendia FC could not keep up with the increasing competitiveness, finding it all the harder to put up a fight as they continued to sink. Athletic Club Yungoitio likewise imploded, winning a scant three matches but at least managing to draw a whole lot more; Martin van Snaartsen may not have had the easiest of seasons in goal, but it certainly built character. Antiguoko FC actuall maintained themselves above the very bottom for most of the season, only dropping down on the last few matchdays due to a tough pair of final fixtures. That their big plans for the top flight failed cannot be denied, although they might yet recoup the money spent on Casper Constable – what with being unable to continue paying his wages – and Risko Kâí was, at least, undoubtedly their most dynamic player on those days when everything clicked.

CHAMPIONS

URBIZANIA WANDERERS
(2nd title)

Second Division
Royal Arexa blitzed through the second tier to book themselves a place in next year's First Division. Even bigger news was Basabe Old Boys' promotion, becoming the first club from the neglected city of Basabe to reach the top flight – much to the chagrin of Athletic Club Basabe. The promotion playoffs ended in heartbreak for Royal Association, who'd fought hard to make it to third place and were perilously close to taking the tie to extra-time against Urizaharra FC. Urizaharra then went on to win by penalty shootout against Army United – the merger team formed out of Rumiatzi United and The Army Club after the latter's bankruptcy. At least Association get to play the SBCC, the last spot of which is reserved for the highest-placed club that isn't promoted.

Second Division B
What? There's one of these too? What do you mean there's always been one of these but the results just haven't been posted? Oh, alright. Urbizania United make their return to the second tier scoring a ridiculous 105 goals, and edging the very unfancied Erribe United by a single goal. Third-placed Berlasko FC were left with no regrets as they beat Biazterri FC 1-0 at Grand Duke's Stadium, the first and likely only time either club will play there. For the record, the thirteen teams newly affiliated with the Football League, following the expansion by twelve and merger of The Army Club and Rumiatzi United into Army United, were: Chinchartu Lehoi, Ezkutia MFC, Gortz Academy, Ichapeldun Mariners, Akialden Marauders, Lukyando Union, Omagoitia Rovers, FK Aliantza, Mars Athletic, Chopbiren FC, Sporting Olarria, Uriarte United and Nabarrieta FC.

This was a rather strange Round of 64 – not just because it was the first to be made up entirely of teams from the Football League, not including any non-league invitees – but because there were actual upsets! Oyardo FC only narrowly avoided one, requiring extra-time to beat Progress Athletic after a complacent return leg saw them on the end of a 3-0 loss at the end of normal time. East Railway and Gortz United were similarly put up against against the ropes by Akialden Marauders and Aizpiyeta FC; Blue Mountain Range and Royal Ibarbe ended up winding down the clock on their visits to Biazterri and Ichapeldun. Elsewhere, Scarlettville Rough Riders came out ahead of a set of tough derbies against fellow Princess Béatrice Islanders, Winteredge Pirates, while headlines were made when Dockyard Oaks FC beat Victory at the Ituraitz Sporting Ground and then at home in Basabe, as well as when newly-affiliated Ezkutia MFC soundly beat South Factory on both legs of the tie. A wake up call for the top flight teams!

The competition narrows down and enters its more interesting stages – and what better way to do so than with some high-profile encounters and local derbies? No goals could separate Antiguoko and their enemies from Gesterlake, resorting to penalty kicks to decide the winner. Athletic Club Yungoitio struggled but an Anartz Garaikoechea goal saw them through to the quarters at the expense of the Scarlettville Rough Riders; Blue Mountain Range and Royal Arexa had no trouble against Izarloka FC and Army United, respectively; Miners FC came away with the upset win against Oyardo FC, and East Railway came away with an ever bigger upset win, Iker Malik single-handedly knocking out Urbizania Wanderers at the Cherketzo Arena with a clever feint and chip. Royal Rumiatzi and Athletic Club Rumiatzi briefly revived the old days of the Rumiatzi Football Union in a pair of fiery derbies in which Athletic's decline was sadly all too visible, while Gerhard Thunder's powerful extra-time header decided Astograth University's big tie against Echegoyan FC.

East Railways had a much easier time with Miners FC, albeit only in the return leg, while Royal Rumiatzi ravaged Royal Arexa and Astograth University secured the win against Blue Mountain Range with a Guerrikaechebarria brace at Arritzola.

Athletic Yungoitio's chances were always a dream, and Astograth University ended them with sound wins at home and away. Royal Rumiatzi had a somewhat tougher time with East Railway, but Echazarreta's goal at the Narbaitza Memorial secured them safe passage to the final at Grand Duke's – a Rumiatzi derby at Rumiatzi's premier venue.

ROYAL CUP FINAL
@ Grand Duke's Stadium, Rumiatzi
Astograth University 1-1 Royal Rumiatzi
(1-1 AET, 1-3 PKs)

The only time these two had met before at the Royal Cup final, University walked away with their first trophy ever, going on to win their first league title next season and consolidating themselves as a force in Astograthian football – and when they won that Royal Cup, they also ruined Royal Rumiatzi's double. It may have been almost ten years ago, but the Knights don't forget – they didn't quite consider it honourable to desperately hang onto Tilford Quirin's goal for the entire match.

Aintôrthea Durosa got the opener, tapping it in after a great one-two with Galeano and then Echazarreta that befuddled the opposition defense and left keeper Argier Gorriaran at her mercy. As the first half turned into the second and full-time neared, neither team able to get the upper hand in the control of the balll, the venerable Leizarraga Lukuix was sent onto the pitch by University. It was only a matter of time before they got a convenient free-kick and the Iturributan placed a masterful cross, connected by Fernand Girard and driven into the back of the net. The tactic didn't work twice, though, and extra-time passed with both teams exhausted and not any closer to winning the cup.

Gerhard Thunder took the first penalty and was foiled by the sharp-witted Alarabi Galayarde, and couldn't forgive himself for missing when Elmsvikur slammed in his. Lukuix placed his well, Vitek missed – prompting cries of despair from the Knights and jubilation from the AU – and then Barinaga sent his sky-high. Natasha Klossovskaya promptly took matter back into Royal Rumiatzi's hands, and it was madness when Guerrikaechebarria, the one man you'd trust with a penalty, had his shot saved by an almost prophetic Galayarde. Durosa, having already scored the opener, was charged with the fourth penalty – and shot it neatly into the corner, making the trophy pass from Grand Duke Lastur's hands to Galeano's.

by **Legalese** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 12:03 am

For years, organized soccer has, to some extent, existed in Legalese, though many would take issue with the use of the word “organized”. Numerous matches, exhibitions, and other forms of competition have taken place, hosting teams from such clubs as Draig Goch FC in Numalia, to sides from the Myre Town Athletic Club, located in the southern town of Myre, to Sagdineo’s Bekknia Athletic, representing a social and sporting club on the coast of the mighty Lake Bekk. Even private sponsors got into the game - some two decades ago, a father’s willingness to put his auto repair company’s name on his son’s youth team shirts started what would become and adult side that went amateur, then semi-professional, and became one of Legalese’s first fully-professional sides, Bob’s Towing. Teams like Bob’s Towing, DGFC, Myre Town, and Rhinos have been providing the National Team with players and staff for years, but have been missing one thing: an organized competition, enabling them to keep their players on year-round with some financial security.

Enter the Federation of Association Football, the national association that serves as the game’s governing body locally, as well as the organizer of the National Team and the holder of Legalese’s membership in the World Cup Committee. Working with clubs old and new, and in conjunction with the Government’s Office of Special Projects, which helped fund a massive stadium expansion and renovation program nationwide, the Federation has sanctioned the Inaugural Season of the Legalese National Championship, the first domestic footballing championship in the nation’s memory. Up to eight sides will make the final competition for the Golden Shield in the first season, a prize that also brings with it a bid to vie for the 50th Champions Cup.

For the opening season, rather than create a national top division, the clubs decided to let regional league play decide it. The thirty-six sides taking part were divided by geography into three leagues: The Karin Island-based K-League, and the mainland-based M-League East and M-League West. All three played self-contained schedules, with the M-Leagues using a double-round-robin and twenty-two matches, while the K-League played a split schedule, resulting in only twenty-one. Additionally, all thirty-six sides were joined by some amateur sides for the knockout cup competition, the Federation Open Cup.

To determine the national champion, the top eight sides from the leagues and cup competitions were to be pulled out, playing a four-week playoff series, ending with the National Championship Game, a match that awards the first Golden Shield, as well as bids to the 50th Champions Cup, and the next AOCL. Globe Cup spots remained open for the League winners (Bronze Shields), along with the next best advancing side in the National Championship, if needed. The cup winner would have the chance to earn more, but the Cygnus Cup was, at the very least, a lock for them.

And now, the Year in Review:

K-League Season 1

Life on the Islands has often been a bit unorthodox from mainland life. First re-settled by Legalites some fifty years ago, the Karin Islands sit just across the Nemyan Strait from mainland Legalese, but remain sparsely populated. The entire northern tip of the island is reserved for military purposes, but the remaining towns and villages number enough for a slew of professional sides ready to make their mark nationally.

Going into the season, the favorites were clear; the Island’s major city, Tyrellia, had two sides, International, led by National Teamer Cyrus Damhan and Titans, who played in the larger stadium. The Tyrellian Derbies - everyone expected three in total - were to be the key matchups, if they could avoid slipping up against the other sides, all somewhat unknown.

As it turned out, both would drop points early: International opening at home with a 2-2 draw to Comunas Cougars, while the Titans would fall to the Sien Bay Pirates 0-1 in week two. Titans would then win their next three, with International taking three wins and two draws into their week six matchup at International Pitch. Amazingly, the Titans would rise to the occasion, scoring three in the first half to seal a 4-2 result on their crosstown rivals. While the Titans would lose again the following week to Rye’s Landing, this would be enough to put them at the top of the table at the end of the PreSplit period:

The choice of the clubs to use a 2-1-0 point system for the pre-split put heavy emphasis on the post-split period, where the ten matches left for each side would see a team facing their splitmates twice, and with even higher stakes, as a win would now count the international standard of three points. For the top half, with the teams only separated by four points at most, this gave the entire upper half a reasonable shot at the Bronze Shield, as well as a chance to play for the National Championship.

For the Tyrellian sides, the coast was clear to their second matchup, which included a return to International Pitch at week 15. Again, the visitors triumphed, with the Titans taking a 3-1 victory on the road. With their lead over International now at five points, all Titans had to do was survive to advance.

Unfortunately for them, the week after their trip to International was very familiar: hosting Rye’s Landing at the Coliseum. Again, The Pennymen showed up to play, with RLFC taking a 1-0 lead. Fortunately for Titans, they were able to equalize, only dropping two points instead of the full three. International’s victory kept Titans three ahead, going into week Seventeen.

Week Seventeen signaled the arrival of Portsmouth United. Portsmouth, normally referred to by their initials by the opposition, seemed lucky to be here; even though they were four points clear of the seventh-place side at the split, their post-split activity was not that of a team that belonged, losing five straight. It was a streak begging to be broken, but not one that anyone expected them to accomplish on the road to the leaders. However, in the 84th minute, they did, surviving the eight-minute onslaught put on by Titans in return, escaping The Coliseum with a 1-0 victory. This result, combined with International taking their final matchup with Comunas Cougars, set the stage for a critical four-week run for the Tyrellian sides:

First Division        Pld    W   D   L    GF   GA   GD   Pts

6 Portsmouth United       6    1   0   5     3   15  −12    19

Despite the results looking grim, Titans did pick up a two-point lead after Week 18, with their win over Cougars bettering an International draw to RLFC, where a late Damhan goal saved the other Tyrellian side from losing. Week 19 brought good news for the Titans as well, as they would win again, with International drawing to Portsmouth, putting them four points clear going into the final part of the Tyrellian Derbies, this one being the first at The Coliseum. With only one more to go, the Titans had a chance to wrap up the title in front of their home crowd, and make history.

History would end up being made that night, but not the type the Titans hoped, however. International would win 3-2, meaning that in the first season of official play, the Tyrellian derbies were all won by the visitors. Just as the Titans had risen to a four-point lead in the standings, they saw it fall. While the lead did not change hands until the week after, where an International win over Sien Bay was coupled with another Titans draw with Rye’s Landing, the result in The Coliseum marked the end of the Titans’ shot at the inaugural K-League title, though it would be good enough to join International in the first National Championship, and take the National League spot for next season.

Also noteworthy were the runs of Norrisland United and Minto Wombats, whom dominated the bottom half of the K-League post-split. While neither side expects to have a realistic chance at an invite into the first season of the National League, both will have the chance to build on their success, and see if they can climb out of the mid-table next year.

M-League East

On the mainland, setting the geographic split between East and West was challenging for a few of the sides. While it was a forgone conclusion to include clubs along the Nemyan Strait like Francis City, Numalian sides Portland and Draig Goch, as well as clubs form teams bordering the southern end of of the coastline, like Myre Town and Gavelton’s Rhinos, it was the teams inland that posed a problem, specifically with the sides from Tiberia - The Knights of Tiberia and Tiberian City - as well as the LC Capitals, based in Legalese City. Both laid claim to working with the East, the Tiberian sides frequently competing with Portand and Draig Goch in the unorganized days, while the Caps had annual trips to Myre and Gavelton booked prior to the league’s formation. The cynics would also point out that all three were really hoping to avoid Bob’s Towing, whom were expected to be the team to beat out West.

In the end, the Tiberians won out, with City and the Knights grouped in the East, while the LC Capitals became the easternmost side in the M-League West, with county rivals in Yellowjacket FC and Binchensburg Athletic softening the blow.

At first, the result looked poor for The Knights, who immediately went out and lost their opener in Numalia to Draig Goch, 1-0. However, they bounced back quickly, not conceding another goal for nearly four weeks, with Straitside FC putting a consolation goal in their three-goal loss to the Knights. The unbeaten run would continue for six weeks in total, finally ending with their return to Numalia, only this time falling 3-1 to the port city’s other top side, Portland FC.

By the halfway point, The Knights had passed Draig Goch and taken the lead in the East. However, with the top five all five points or fewer apart, a strong finish would be the only way to secure the Bronze Shield and the chance to play for the National Championship:

The return legs started with a seemingly pivotal match, as Draig Goch headed to Protectorate Road to face The Knights. Ken Heath scored early to give The Knights the lead at home, only to see his national teammate Slade Brahm wreak havoc on the host’s defence. Brahm scored in the 52nd minute off of a corner kick, tucking the ball just inside the far post, and then made the key cross in the 84th minute to set up goal number two, sending the Red Dragons up on The Knights by two.

As the teams advanced forward, the tension grew, as each needed to match the other in the results column. For the next two weeks, this was no problem for either side, both winning twice. Draig Goch slipped up in the Numalian Derby, losing to Portland, giving The Knights a one-point lead. Week Seventeen made it worse for the Dragons, losing to Tiberian City, allowing The Knights to go four up with five to play:

Week Eighteen caught the Red Dragons in a tougher-than expected spot, as their opponent, Rhinos, needed a win just as badly. While stuck in eighth, the Rhinos were fighting for hope, that as Gavelton’s only professional club, they might earn an invite to the National League despite their results; if they were to fall behind Francis City, whom they were currently level with on points, that dream would die.

As it would turn out, the draw that resulted only killed one dream - that of the Red Dragons challenging for the Bronze Shield. The Knights never looked back, clinching the title before their finale in the Tiberian Derby. Draig Goch was able to hold onto second and the National Championship spot, though it was tense - the halftime results had them level at 1 with Francis City, while Tiberian City led 2-1, results that would’ve advanced the two sides from Tiberia. Fortunately for the Dragons supporters, the only scoring left in Numalia came from the Dragons, sending them through.

M-League West

Out west, the battle was barely one. Bob’s Towing proved the dominant side everyone expected them to be, winning ten out of their first eleven, a Morven Monday draw in week five turning their streak into an unbeaten one. While an injury to Jimmy Jay slowed him down and possibly contributed to a draw in week twelve and a loss in week fourteen, Towing stayed at the top, effectively locking up the Bronze Shield with a week seventeen win over the LC Capitals, and would officially claim the title at the end of week nineteen. The Caps would take second, holding off a late challenge from Binchensburg Athletic, who had the misfortune of closing against the champs.

The Federation Open Cup

A knockout cup competition, the Federation Open Cup, or the Fed Cup, was played for the first time this season. The only competition to cross the professional/amateur lines in Legalese, the cup attracted 28 sides not currently in the league system to join the participants in league play, and a few actually surprised.

First Round:
The First Round was split into two geographic groups: Island and Mainland. The K-League sides had a few amateur teams to contend with, allowing professional sides Comunas Cougars, Minto Wombats, International, Titans, and Camanche Jets through, along with amateur sides West Tyrellia Auto, Paulie’s Pizza, and others.

The bulk of the teams came from the mainland, however, as did the bulk of the upsets. Both LC Capitals and Draig Goch drew league sides in the First Round, and both saw an early exit. a number of amateur sides survived, most notably Jintley’s United, who knocked off Calcyx Colonial at home.

Second Round:
At this point, teams were drawn nationally, forcing cross-strait trips in both directions. A number of replay-inducing draws was the biggest surprise of the round, however, forcing AFC Straitside to travel to West Tyrellia for a rematch with the amateurs. The worst trip was likely for Comunas Cougars and Tyrellia Titans, who both had to travel mid-week to the mainland for a replay.

AFC Straitside 0–0 West Tyrellia Auto
Comunas Cougars 0–0 Plainsview Panthers
Tyrellia Titans 1–1 The Knights of Tiberia
Minto Wombats 1–0 Tiberian City
Sien Bay Pirates 4–0 Paulie's Pizza
International 0–1 Bekknia FC
Portland FC 1–1 Morven Monday
AFC Mokfein 1–2 Ellentown Exempts
Llamas 4–0 X Island Pretenders
Brecorn City 1–0 Whitefox Whalers
Argyle Warriors 3–0 Yellowjacket FC
RLFC 1–2 Binchensburg Athletic
Stratton Tigers 2–1 Java Cubs
Bob's Towing 2–0 Camanche Jets
Jintley’s United 0–4 Rhinos
Coastal United 0–1 Myre Town

Second Round Replays
This would be the only national round with a replay, the remaining matches moving to extra time and penalties to decide the results

West Tyrellia Auto 0-1 AFC Straitside
Plainsview Panthers 1-2 Comunas Cougars
The Knights of Tiberia 2-0 Tyrellia Titans
Morven Monday 3-2 Portland FC

Third Round
This marked the end of the last amateur side, Llamas, who fell to Sien Bay on their trip across the strait. This also marked the first cup match decided on penalties, with Ellentown extending their run a little further thanks to their success at the mark:

Minto Wombats 1–2 Comunas Cougars
Bob's Towing 4–0 Brecorn City
Rhinos 2–1 AFC Straitside
Argyle Warriors 1–2 Stratton Tigers
Ellentown Exempts 1–1 Bekknia FC (1–1 AET) (4–3 pen.)
Tyrellia Titans 3–2 Morven Monday
Sien Bay Pirates 2–0 Llamas
Myre Town 2–0 Binchensburg Athletic

Quarterfinals
With only two major league contenders left, the cup looked wide open. For many of these teams, the final was their only hope of reaching the National Championship, and it was reflected in the tight battles seen below, though the hopes of a shield and a cup at once remained for both the Titans and Bob’s Towing.

Comunas Cougars 1–0 Sien Bay Pirates
Rhinos 3–3 Tyrellia Titans (4–4 AET) (2–4 pen.)
Bob's Towing 1–1 Myre Town (2–1 AET)
Stratton Tigers 2–3 Ellentown Exempts

Semifinals
The draw created a very amusing scenario: both matchups were Island hosts Mainland, and ensured that at least one title contender would have a shot at the double, but also ensured that it could not be both. In this case, it was good to be the host.

Tyrellia Titans 2–1 Bob's Towing
Comunas Cougars 3–1 Ellentown Exempts

Final
Of course, the issue with the final is that it is hosted on neutral ground. In the case of this final, the neutral ground had been predetermined to be National Stadium in Legalese City, forcing both sides to travel over the Nemyan Strait for the match. The implications of the match were simple, though: Tyrellia was hanging onto hope for the K-League title, and winning both would improve their standing in the National Championship. For Comunas, a win would mean a double-chance in the National Championship, while a loss meant the potential for a very early exit. In the end, this match, just a week before their derby loss to International, would be the one pundits looked to in marking where it all went wrong for Tyrellia, as the Comunas Cougars lifted the first Federation Open Cup:

Tyrellia Titans 1–2 Comunas Cougars

The National Championship

As determined at the start of the season, eight teams were invited to play for the Champions Cup spot in The National Championship:

Bob’s Towing - M-League West Champion
The Knights of Tiberia - M-League East Champion
International of Tyrellia - K-League Champion
Comunas Cougars - Federation Open Cup Winner
Tyrellia Titans - K-League Runner-Up/Federation Open Cup Finalist
LC Capitals - M-League West Runner-Up
Draig Goch FC - M-League East Runner-Up
Rye’s Landing FC - K-League Third Place

For the League Champions and Cup Winner, the road was harder in challenge, but easier in concept: They would be drawn against each other in a set of Qualifying Quarterfinals, with the winners comprising the First Semifinal, whose winner would advance right to the Championship Game. A loss in either the Qualifying Quarterfinals or the First Semifinal would not eliminate a team, but rather send them to the Elimination Second Round, or to the Second Semifinal, respectively. The remaining four sides would instead have a single shot, facing each other in the first week to knock the field down to two, before facing the losing sides from the qualifying quarterfinals in Elimination Round Two. A win meant a one-off match at midweek between the two winners in the Elmination Quarterfinal, and then sent the winner of that to the home of the losing First Semifinalist, where they would play the Second Semifinal. One week after that, the winners of the two semifinals would meet at the home of the First Semifinal winner for the National Championship Game.

Week One
The draw paired the cup champ Comunas Cougars with powerhouse Bob’s Towing. While a mismatch on paper, the Cougars caught Towing off-guard in Comunas, taking a 2-0 lead. However, that lead was shortlived, as the return trip to Plainsview resulted in a 3-0 win for BT, and a 3-2 aggregate win for them.

The other qualifying quarterfinal pitted K-League champs International with M-League East winners The Knights of Tiberia. International set the Knights a scurrying with a 2-1 win on the road, followed by a spirit-breaking 4-1 win at home to advance 6-2.

The elimination first round drew LC Capitals with Rye’s Landing, the winner to face The Knights. Legalese City made quick work of RLFC, winning on aggregate 5-0. The other matchup was a bit juicier, facing two strong teams that faded late, in the form of Tyrellia Titans and Draig Goch. A 1-1 draw at Caerangelion in Numalia gave an opening to the Titans, who took it at The Coliseum, their 1-0 victory claiming the overall win on aggregate.

Week Two
The Elimination Second Round opened with a cup final rematch between Comunas Cougars and Tyrellia Titans, marking the fifth and sixth time they had faced each other this year. The Cougars held a slight lead at home, with a 3-2 win, but were unable to hold level with Titans in The Coliseum, with a 2-1 result there forcing an aggregate draw and extra time. An own goal ended up sinking Comunas, sening the Titans through to the Elimination Quarterfinal as the host.

Meanwhile, in the other Elimination matchup, The Knights of Tiberia, who already won a fight with LC Capitals over who would go to the East, won yet again, taking the two game series by a 5-0 final, eliminating the Caps, and setting up a midweek flight to The Coliseum for the Elimination Quarterfinal

Week Three
The format changes at this point, teams moving to one-off results to pick the winners. The Elimination Quarterfinal kicked off at midweek, followed by an end-of-week Second Semifinal where International awaited the winner of the Titans and The Knights. On the plus-side for the winner, they wouldn’t have to travel, with International also being in Tyrellia. Home advantage worked out well for Titans, winning on a late goal to take a 2-1 result across town. For them, as well as for the sake of the Tyrellian Derby, now about to have meeting number four, Titan fans took solace in that no home team had yet to win a Tyrellian Derby match.

Of course, there’s always a first time for everything. International, rested and ready, simply outclassed the tired opposition, winning 2-0, and advancing to the National Championship Game

Week Four

Tropical Trophy

The Tropical Trophy is a seasonal competition between the Vilitan Stellar Division Champions and Vilitan Cup Champions. There has been some controversy as to whether it is a "Season Ending" event or a "Season beginning" event, though it has tended to be closer to the start of the new season, then the end of the previous one.

Jungle Strike FC - v. - Makosile United

Tivali Ring Stadium, Alikki-Corra, Vilita

For this seasons Tropical Trophy, The V-League Stellar Division Champions (Jungle Strike FC) were invited to face off against the defending Vilitan Cup Champions (Makosile United). Jungle Strike FC were making their all-time leading 23rd appearance in the Tropcial Trophy. Having appeared in over half of the Tropical Trophy's ever held, Strike also held the record for most Tropical Trophy titles with 13. However, for the first time in the modern era, the Tropical Trophy was a rematch from the previous season. During Season 39, it was Makosile who got the better of Strike FC on penalty kicks after 120 minutes of scoreless play, bringing the Tropical Trophy back to the Track Venture Field for the second time.

GIANTS CLASH IN ALIKKI-CORRA

After winning the Season 39 Vilitan Stellar Division Title and following up that success with International Club victories in both the Cygnus Cup - a repeat performance, and in the Atlantian Oceania Champions League, a first for the club, head coach Mikala Abellan made absolutely no changes to his roster in the offseason. The emergence of young Turorian striker Enluta Makakio was a revelation for the Venom both in the league and in domestic competition but for Audioslavian goalkeeper Kajaxo Imaslavii, it was an unusual feeling, entering Season 40 without being the reigning World Cup champion goalkeeper for the first time in many seasons.

Jungle Strike FC [4-4-2] ::
[GK] Kajaxo Imaslavii (AUD), [D] Henri-Rene Lavallere (NMS), [D] Miiara Makose (VIL), [D] Azestella Ajhabekk (STR), [D] Riksa Valjariia (VIL), [M] Steffyn Siazzu (VIL), [M] Yves Gadois (VIL), [M] Friekder Dandalleion (FRF), [M] Relmar Winauat (VIL), [F] Lita Adjei (VIL), [F] Enluta Makakio (TUR)

Looking to build on the success of their Vilitan Cup title, Makosile decided the snap up newly-crowned World Cup champion Piran MacKenzie from relegated Morata Valley although the brand new signing would not start the match for Otieno's Makos.

Another storyline would see the return of the all Farf-battle between Makosile midfielder Ichi Tuzzio and Strike's Friekder Dandalleion.

Makosile United [3-5-2] ::
[GK] Atacir Tivalan (VIL), [D] Kadi Molali (VIL), [D] Baiiub Jual-Knakok (VIL), [D] Tyaoino Munviola (VIL), [M] Lorenzo Borromeo (OSD), [M] JD Fuller (MNG), [M] Retiso Buran (VIL), [M] Rainbow Blitz (EQS), [M] Ichi Tuzzio (FRF), [F] Xcnaio Bansoa (VIL), [F] Sirkii Moliaudo (VIL)

After doing an exception job officiating the grueling match between these same two sides last season, Vilitan/Turorian Dual National referee Nuliko Meteorik officiated the Tropical Trophy for the third consecutive season.

:: The Kickoff

The first opportunity of the match came in the opening minute when Rainbow Blitz fouled Relmar Winaut as Strike pressed for an early opener, giving Yves Gadois the chance to send the ball in from a good position to the right of the penalty area.

Gadois opted for the cross and was eying Lita Adjei - who was being marked poeticly by Rainbow Blitz just above the penalty spot. Luckily for the Makos, however, Ichi Tuzzio was alive at the backpost and cleared the downward header off the line and away to safety as the teams survived minute 121 of consecutive Tropical Trophy action between them without a goal from open play.

Things would calm down a bit from there as the teams started to feel each other out, although each and every one of them was already well familiar with the players and styles being put forth by their opposite numbers.

It was Makosile that started to turn the pressure on as the half progressed, forcing Imaslavii into a pair of saves with Atacir Tivalan having little, if anything to do down at the other end of the pitch.

However, while the Makos just kept swimming and swimming without ever breaking through, the bite of the Venom came right when Otieno's side least expected it. After dominating stretches of the first half, the players and fans alike seemed to be resigned to yet another half of action between these sides ending without a goal. Viliaka Morasita had other ideas. Morasita Unleashed a wicked shot from 25 yards out as Meteorik was looking at his watch preparing to blow for half time. Tivalan had no shot at stopping it, standing stone footed and looking behind him in disbelief as the ball sat in the back of the net giving Strike the 1-0 lead at the half.

:: The Second Half

Needing to come out and capitalize on their strong play from the first half, the Makos nearly made a critical mistake in the opening moments of the Second half allowing Viji-mara Lawaai a chance to intercept the ball and unleash a quick shot on goal that only the twang of the cross bar could prevent from doubling the lead for the Champs.

Makosile would slowly get back into the rhythm that they had found in the first half, however, and it was Farfadillis' Ichi Tuzzio spearheading the efforts. Tuzzio was one on one with Imaslavii just before the hour mark and had 3 chances with foot on the ball to get it past the Audioslavian goalkeeper but, perhaps a bit better after a poor World Cup performance, Imaslavii was having none of it.

Tuzzio again was the threat less than 5 minutes later when the Makos earned a corner kick. The Farf midfielder rose to meet the ball with his head but wasn't able to keep it down as the effort skimmed the top of the crossbar on its way into the stands behind Imaslavii's net.

The Makos could certainly feel the pressure with less than 15 minutes to play and started taking chances to create the attack they needed, at some times comprimising their efforts by allowing the Venom to put together an offensive push of their own.

0

As the match approached extra time, it was the final chance for Makosile to equalize. Tuzzio sent the ball up the wing to a waiting Buran who looked up to see what his options were. Referee Meteorik had indicated 3 minutes of add-on time was all that would be needed and the players knew that it had been about 3 minutes or so since the board had gone up.

Buran searched out Xcnaio Bansoa who made a quick flick back to Buran who was at this point charging down the wing. At full stride, Buran played a hopeful ball into the area as the crowd intently waited to see if Makosile had one last bit of magic in them yet. In a chaotic scene, Kajaxo Imaslavii was apparently fouled trying to punch the ball clear, and actually ended up heading the ball quite well away to safety. Strike's Viliaka Morasita picked up the ball outside the box and belted it towards Tivalan's goal as Meteorik put whistle to mouth to end the match, 1-0 to the Venom.

Statwise:

:: This is Strike FC's 14th Tropical Trophy Victory in their 24th appearance.
:: This is Makosile's 3rd Tropical Trophy Defeat (5th Appearance)
:: This is the 3rd consecutive Tropical Trophy competition that required extra time.
:: This is the 7th Tropical Trophy that has ended in a 1-0 Scoreline.
:: This is the 3rd Tropical Trophy that has ended in a 1-0 Scoreline between Makosile and Strike

**First Season in Stellar Division

Reigning Champions Jungle Strike FC added scores of international silverware during the offseason, including the Aeropag Invitational, Cygnus Cup, UICA Youth Cup and Atlantian Oceania Champions League titles.

After winning the World Cup, Wightling players became hot commodities in the Vilitan League, with Manalaus Carne transferring from Kiiara-Torra to Jlinal Cove and Piran Mackenzie getting tracked by both Makosile and Mliona-Lpaka.

Newcomers to the league system including Santos Alaminos of Farfadillis and Tumo Makanopalani of Maklohi Vai joined Xavier Boyle of Legalese in transfering to the Stellar Division with Kiiarana City.

Tropical Trophy Winners Strike FC entered as favorites to take the title for Season 40, with a virtually unchanged squad from the one that won virtually every international tournament other than the UICA Champions Cup itself during the previous cycle, but Makosile United, Mliona-Lpaka Turori and Turoki United were sure to step up to the challenge.

OPENING DAY SUMMARY:

UICA Youth Cup and Cygnus Cup champions Jungle Strike FC opened up their title defense against the Turoki Tide in succesful fashion, goals from Lita Adjei and Miiara Makose leading to a 2-0 Venom Victory.

Turorian side Mliona-Lpaka, still trying to win their first Stellar Division title, obliterated title contenders Kiiara-Torra 3-0 on the opening matchday, raising questions as to whether or not Nycflala Kater was sliding past his prime.

Arcticala Inlet, Turoki United and Makosile also recorded opening matchday victories.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 6:
After two matchdays, Turoki United and Strike FC were the only two teams left with two victories. Mliona-Lpaka suffered a surprise defeat to Jlinal Cove while Arcticala Inlet were undone by Kiiarana City.

Makosile rolled into the Lonngeylin Coliseum with every intention of putting a dent in Strike FC's title hopes but rolled out with nothing, Enluta Makakio and Riksa Valjariia.

After being held by Jlinal Cove on the opening matchday, Kiiarana City continued their march to the top of the table with a 5-0 thrashing of newly-promoted strugglers Lonngeylin City. Their run of good form was halted on Matchday 4, however, when unbeaten Turoki United came into the Lavaio Rapids Stadium and recorded a 3-0 victory to keep perfect pace with Strike FC atop the table.

It would pay off on Matchday 5 when the Venom were held 2-2 at the Arcticala Electrical Stadium and Turoki United continued their strong run of form against title contenders, a 3-1 victory over Mliona-Lpaka to give Turoki sole possession of first place.

It didn't last long, Strike's 4-1 victory over Lonngeylin City allowed them to pull back level on 16 points after 6 matches after Turoki United slipped for the first time. The duo found themselves just 1 point ahead of Makosile who had strung together 5-straight victories after their matchday 2 defeat to the Venom.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 10:

It was the big game of the first half as the two unbeaten teams converged on the Turoki Community Complex to decide, presumably, who would take the Stellar Division lead into the mid-season break.

Turoki United jumped out to a 2-0 lead but Riksa Valjariia pulled one back for the Venom at the half. It wouldn't be enough to keep them in the game, though, as Turoki United rode the home support to a 3-2 victory to become the last unbeaten team in the Stellar Division and move 3-points clear of Strike and Makosile atop the table.

Just when it looked like Turoki United was going to be able to roll to the half point in control, unexpected defeats to Lonngeylin Coast and the Turoki Tide saw the leaders plummet down to third place as both Makosile and Strike leapfrogged above them.

The Makos were held by Turoki United on Matchday 10 but held on to their 3-point advantage at the top. At the other end of the table, Lonngeylin City recorded their first victory of the season against a struggling Kiiara-Torra side.

THROUGH MID-SEASON:

Makosile kept the lead through the mid-season point taking control of the Sile derby with a 3-0 victory at Colonial Field and ousting Mliona-Lpaka from the top 4 as goals from Piran Mackenzie and Ichi Tuzzio led to a 2-0 victory on matchday 13.

Turoki United followed just one point behind with a further 3 points back to Strike FC. After a strong opening to the season, Kiiarana City ran a 7-match winless streak down to the bottom end of the table, level 12th with the Yeaddin Owls. Lonngeylin City were a lost cause at the foot of the table, however, in pace to concede more goals than any team in Stellar Division history having conceded 30 goals in 12 defeats over the first 13 matchdays.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 16:
Makosile quickly dropped from the top of the table after a 3-2 Matchday 14 defeat at the Cednia Beach center.

A 2-0 win over Strike helped Makosile climb back level with Turoki United atop the Stellar Division table on Matchday 16, 6 points clear of Strike and Mliona-Lpaka who were just hanging on in the championship picture.

At the bottom of the table, all-but-relegated Lonngeylin City stole surprising points in consecutive weeks from Colonial Sile and Kiiarana City to postpone the inevitable while Kiiara-Torra continued to languish in the relegation zone just shy of their nearest competitors.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 20:
Turoki United were held on Matchday 18 by 4th-placed Mliona-Lpaka letting Makosile take a 2-point lead atop the table and giving Mliona-Lpaka a small cushion in the fight for the Champions-Cup place over Cednia Beach.

Strike blew their opportunity to climb back into the thick of the title picture dropping a 2-0 result to Turoki United at the Lonngeylin Coliseum on matchday 20 as Turoki drew back level with Makosile atop the table, 5 points ahead of the Venom.

THE STRETCH RUN:

The top two faltered on Matchday 21 allowing Strike to make amends for earlier defeats, closing the gap to just 2 points and returning boldly into the championship picture. The top 3 had some breathing room over 4th placed Mliona-Lpaka where a Turorian dual for the Champions Cup place seemed inevitable with fifth-placed Cednia Beach AFC.

At the bottom of the table, Lonngeylin City appeared to plug some of their defensive gaps, no longer on pace for the most goals ever conceded in a Stellar Division campaign, but still well on their way to relegation - 14 points from safety with just 15 to play for. Colonial Sile and Kiiarana City were level on 21 points for the second drop spot with 4 others teams just 3 points clear of them.

Makosile lost their grip on the top spot after an inexplicable goalless draw with relegated Lonngeylin City while Turoki United escaped as 2-1 winners of the Turoki Derby to go 2-points clear of Makosile and Strike FC. The Venom were clearly coming into a standard spell of late-season form, Viji-mara Lawaai converting a hattrick in a 5-1 victory over Kiiarana City, certainly enough to put the pressure on their opposition over the final four matchdays.

Matchday 23 pitted the top 4 teams against each other in a day of excrutiatingly important action with leaders Turoki United hosting joint-2nd Makosile while the defending champions Jungle Strike FC traveled to Turori to square off with the best the Island Emirate had to offer, Mliona-Lpaka AFC.

Mliona-Lpaka opened the scoring but Friekder Dandalleion and Viji-mara Lawaai responded for Strike to give the Venom a 2-1 victory, mathematically eliminating Mliona-Lpaka, who remained in 4th, from title contention.

For Turoki United, they knew what was on the line, having never won the Stellar Division title, they were looking to make Turoki City the first city in the history of the Stellar Division to have two different past-champions. Makosile had other ideas, however, looking for their third Stellar Division title, opening the scoring through JD Fuller in the 35th minute. Ichi Tuzzio added a penalty kick in the 63rd minute to seal the deal for the Makos who climbed to joint-top with Strike after the victory, level on goal differential and just one goal-scored behind.

Having never finished higher than 12th in the Stellar Division table, Lonngeylin Coast were quietly climbing up the ranks under the goalkeeping experience of Ronji Miiastara, moving up into the top 5 after a 3-0 win over relegation-threatened Kiiarana City.

All three contenders recorded 1-0 victories on Matchday 24, with Makosile claiming victory in the Sile Showdown, maintaining the status quo with the top 3 having just one point between them headed into the final two matchdays.

At the bottom of the table, it was Colonial Sile's 12 season stay in the top flight against Kiiarana City's 20-season run with both teams sitting on 22 points with 2 games to play.

THE DECISIVE FINISH:

Turning all the dials full, Strike FC was firing on all cylinders at the Lirai Asku Castle on Matchday 25, coming away with a 4-0 victory over the Yeaddin Owls that would ensure at least a piece of the Stellar Division lead heading into the final matchday. Across the Tropics, Makosile was equal to the task, but only could score twice in their victory over Kiiarana City, giving the Venom a +2 goals differential advantage heading into the final matchday.

However, should both sides slip up on the final matchday, Turoki United ensured they would be there to capitalize, gutting out a 2-1 victory over Jlinal Cove, Vlcahourias responding to a Manalous Carne equalizer that threatened to take Turoki out of the title chase.

Colonial Sile recorded a point against Kiiara-Torra to gain a slight cushion over Kiiarana City in the relegation battle that would come down to just those two teams, with everyone else jockeying for position in the middle of the table.

For Strike FC, the path to a record 15th Stellar Division title would have to be through Lonngeylin Coast. However, unlike any previous cross-town derby the Venom had ever participated in, this was not a match against a relegation threatened or Declasse-Level side. Lonngeylin Coast had climbed up to 4th in the league table and looked to be a real threat to the Venom for perhaps the first time in the history of the rivalry.

In Sile, the Makos would have to take care of business against Turori's top side Mliona-Lpaka, and do so by scoring at least 3 goals more than Strike if they wanted to ensure the title would be theirs.

It didn't take the Makos long to get on the scoresheet, Ichi Tuzzio putting them ahead just 8 minutes in as they looked to capitalize on the new-found intensity brewing in Lonngeylin.

Looking to catch up in Goals in the case that the Venom did come out on top in Lonngeylin, Makosile kept up the pressure and were up 2-0 by the 20th minute through Xcnaio Bansoa, taking the provisional lead in the table while things continued to play out at Lonngeylin Park and deflating any lingering hopes in Turoki City that Turoki United could steal their first title on the final matchday.

When Ichi Tuzzio scored his second of the match at the Track Venture Field, it became clear that Strike had more to worry about than simply beating Lonngeylin Coast, but Goals Differential was going to come into play as well. Meanwhile, as the floodgates were opening, Mliona-Lpaka was falling back into the reaches of Cednia Beach AFC who appeared ready to pounce on the Turorian Champions Cup place should Mliona concede any more.

Lonngeylin Coast's Ronji Miiastara may as well have been wearing a Makosile uniform in the net as every save he made on a Venom attack was protecting the Makos hold on the championship post.

At half time on the final matchday, the goalless derby in Lonngeylin would see Strike sitting 3rd in the live table, with Turoki United up 2-1 over Arcticala Inlet and Makosile up 3-0 over Mliona-Lpaka in need of just 1 more goal to start forcing Strike into doing more than simply beating Lonngeylin Coast to claim the title in the second half.

Lonngeylin Coast had the first attack of the second half but Kajaxo Imaslavii was equal to it, not letting his side fall behind at such a critical time. The Venom were still agonizingly searching for the goal that would give them the title but Lonngeylin Coast seemed determined to start a brand new era of Lonngeylin rivalry between the two clubs, not wanting to let the defending champions claim another title on their turf.

As time ticked on, the Venom continued squandering chances, missing wide, high and hitting the post. Then the moment came, 17 minutes from time it was the young Turorian starlet Enluta Makakio who broke the deadlock, putting Strike FC into the lead, both in the match, and in the league table. The goal put Strike and Makosile level on both points and goal-differential, with the Venom having a single-goal advantage in total goals scored on the season, meaning any single goal at the Track Venture field could see the title change hands.

10 minutes to go, then 5 - Makosile were so close, yet so far, searching for the single goal that would give them the title instead of Strike, but seeming to be bogged down by the nerves of necessity that did not seem to come into play before the Venom had scored their own goal.

In the end, the Makos would be left to regret the missed opportunities - any opportunity - any one goal that would have given them the title. As the final whistle blew, it was Strike FC who had claimed yet another title, despite it being the smallest margin of victory in the history of the Vilitan League, the top 3 teams separated by just one point and a single goal-scored crowning the league champion.

Kiiarana City were relegated despite their final-matchday derby victory over Kiiara-Torra while Mliona-Lpaka barely hung on to edge Cednia Beach AFC for 6th place, finishing outside the top 5 for the first time since Season 32.

**First Season in Vilitan League

OPENING DAY SUMMARY:

Coming off their second UICA Series 'B' Champions Cup victory, many expected the Kionao Locals to challenge for a return trip to the Stellar Division. They would get an early test on the opening matchday squaring off with recently relegated Morata Valley. While the Valley side had lost Wightling World Cup winner Piran MacKenzie in the offseason, they still had a strong squad that included Jean-Luc Cezanne, Loala Kigoouao and Dronik Ratuva.

The Locals proved their strength, however, taking the 2-0 victory to leap atop the table on the first matchday. Stellar Division founding members Alikki-Corra FC, in full-reboot mode being invited back to the league system for the first time since season 29, used a team full of young Vilitan prospect to defeat the other relegated side, Eastal Lunar by a 1-0 scoreline.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 8:

It was no surprise after 8 matchdays when the Locals were in the top 2 but it was Rammsissil leading the pack. After making the semi-finals of the Vilitan Cup during Season 39, Rammsissil were invited back to the Declasse and were making the most of the opportunity leading the pack 1/3rd of the way through the season, with a 3 point gap between themselves and third placed Inland Peaks.

THROUGH MID-SEASON:

The Kionao Locals were turning it up to take a 7 point advantage at the mid-season mark over Turorian rivals FC Almintora in the third position. Vilitan side Inland Peaks replaced Rammsissil in the top 2, just two points ahead of the Season 39 Cup Semi-Finalists.

Mavaloiao were 4 points from safety at the bottom of the table with Season 39 Stellar Division relegatee's Eastal Lunar and Morata Valley fighting against the double-drop along with the Lopinka Rovers.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 16:

Rammsissil signalled their intention not to let the top-2 get away from them by taking down leaders Kionao Locals 2-1 at the Sissil Bank Stadium on Matchday 16. The Ramms were still 2 points back of 2nd-place Inland Peaks in the promotion race, however, and Alikki-Corra FC, powered by the youth of Vilita's future were level third on 26 points.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 20:
Consistency at the top of the Declasse table was all shook up on Matchday 20 as Marine Coast United put together a 3-0 victory over relegation threatened Marine Coast United to move into the top 2 along with Alikki-Corra after leaders Kionao Locals were thrashed 0-3 by Tivali City.
The top 5 teams were separated by just 3 points as the promotion battle was shaping up to be one of the closest in Declasse history with Inland Peaks lurking in 5th place just 2 points back of Marine Coast United.

THE PROMOTION BATTLE:

The revolution of youth was coming into fruition in the Vilitan capital as Alikki-Corra FC took a big step towards returning the Tropics' most storied youth set-up back to the top flight for the first time since V-League Season 5 with a 1-0 win over old rivals Marine Coast United.

::STANDINGS WITH 5 GAMES TO PLAY::
1 :: [38] - Alikki-Corra
2 :: [37] - Rammsissil
3 :: [36] - Kionao Locals
4 :: [34] - Marine Coast United
5 :: [32] - Inland Peaks

It was a modern-day slug fest at the Kionao Minor field on Matchday 23, the Kionao Locals with the chance to move back into the promotion zone while the youngsters of Alikki-Corra were looking to extend their lead at the top.

It was the Vilitan youngsters getting on the board first, but Jake Gibbons wasn't ready to let his team settle for another season in the declasse just yet, firing a quick double to put the Locals up 2-1. The aging Gibbons trio simply couldn't hold back the Alikki-Corra youth, however, and the leaders were up 4-2 by the half, eventually running out 5-2 winners to move 6 points clear of 3rd place Marine Coast United atop the table with just 3 games to play.

At the other end of the table, the Inura Forests were sitting 1 point clear of Morata Valley and Mavaloiao in the battle to avoid relegation.

::STANDINGS WITH 3 GAMES TO PLAY::
1 :: [44] - Alikki-Corra
2 :: [40] - Rammsissil
3 :: [38] - Marine Coast United
4 :: [37] - Kionao Locals
5 :: [33] - Inland Peaks

It was the biggest league match to take place at the Crossroads Stadium, perhaps ever - so big in fact that there was even some talk of moving the fixture up the street to the Tivali Ring Stadium. In the end, the Alikki-Corra youngsters opted to defend their own turf as second place Rammsissil came to town with the Declasse title and promotion to the Stellar Division on the line.

Alikki-Corra got the job done 41 minutes into the match and that was all they needed, Lboaisa Akarelm's goal was enough to give the youth all 3 points and clinch the Declasse title along with immediate promotion to the Stellar Division, a feat rarely duplicated in this modern era of Stellar Division supremacy.

For Rammsissil, the fight was not over, with 7 teams still mathematically in contention for the second position, the Ramms were just 1 point ahead of Marine Coast United and 3 ahead of Kionao Locals as they tried to join Alikki-Corra in a first-ever double-promotion of newly invited Declasse sides.

::STANDINGS WITH 2 GAMES TO PLAY::
1 :: [47] - Alikki-Corra -Champions-
2 :: [40] - Rammsissil
3 :: [39] - Marine Coast United
4 :: [37] - Kionao Locals
5 :: [36] - Turoki Isle

Things did not go the way Rammsissil had hoped on Matchday 25, falling 0-1 to FC Almintora and allowing Marine Coast United to leapfrog into the second and final promotion slot despite the Crosaibi side being held to a 1-1 draw with relegation threatened Morata Valley.

Turoki Isle was just 1 point back in 4th while the Kionao Locals were the only other team that would go into the final matchday with a mathematical chance at promotion.

At the bottom of the table, Mavaloiao remained at the foot of the Declasse 2 points behind Inura Forests in 12th with Morata Valley sandwiched between.

THE FINAL MATCHDAY:

Marine Coast United hosted the Kionao Locals on the final matchday with both teams looking for an over-due return to the Stellar Division. However, both teams knew that a draw could force each to spend at least one more season in the Declasse with Rammsissil lurking level with Marine Coast United on points entering the day, giving both teams added incentive to fight for the three points.

Both sides were boosted when word came in just before half time that Rammsissil were down to 10 men in the Inura Forest in addition to having conceded a goal. For Marine Coast, it meant a draw would be enough while the Locals still needed to push for the goal to leapfrog both sides.

It finally came in the 82nd minute as Marine Coast United took the lead in front of an ecstatic crowd. The energy kept building as they realized their beloved side could be headed back to the Stellar Division.

The Locals could not fight back and Marine Coast United held on to the second spot, joining Alikki-Corra in the Stellar Division for Season 41.

At the other end of the table, Mavaloiao and Morata Valley both failed to record 3 points and found themselves with a one-way ticket to the non-league arena, an incredibly dramatic fall for Morata Valley who just 3 seasons prior had recorded their best ever finish in the Stellar Division, coming in 5th.

The magical run for the Cednia Rovers ended at the hands of Turoki Isle who ran out as 3-1 winners over two legs in the Vilitan Cup Quarter Final.

A late goal by Vucidini Zekani appeared to get Arcticala Inlet back on track against Jlinal Cove FC but they ended up one goal shy, falling 4-3.

Turori's Mliona-Lpaka worked their way back into the Semi-Finals with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Turoki United in what was by far the most high-profile of the Quarter Final matchups, with both teams still in contention for the Stellar Division title at the time of the fixture.

Declasse side Tivali City looked set to make their first semi-final appearance for 33 seasons as they left the Track Venture Field with a 1-0 advatage after the first leg against defending Cup Champions Makosile United. However, the Stellar Division side came roaring back at the Council Stadium, goals from Sirkii Moliaudo, Xcnaio Bansoa and Star of the Match Rainbow Blitz guided the Makos back into the semi-finals.

Vilitan Cup Final:

The Vilitan Cup final pitted the defending champions, Makosile United, up against Mliona-Lpaka Turori in a rematch of the final game of the Stellar Division season.

That match was, by all means, a blowout, with Makosile United doing everything they could to catch Strike FC atop the Stellar Division table, eventually falling just one goal short after a 3-0 runaway victory over the Turorian side.

For Makosile, this was their chance to take silveware home for the season after missing the Stellar Division title by the slimmest margin in history. For Mliona-Lpaka, it wasn't just silverware on te line, but pride as well after the dissapointing blowout loss to end the season, dropping them out of the Top 5 in the final table and having to fall back on a federation's provisional for the first time ever just to qualify for the UICA Champions Cup.

The match certainly started far more well balanced than the League match did, with the Makos in a more defensive posture than the shark-bite aggressiveness that came in the league fixture.

Eventually, however, the Makos were able to take the lead, a volely from Xcnaio Bansoa on the half hour mark got the capacity crowd at the Tivali Ring Stadium on their feet and gave Makosile a 1-0 advantage that they would hold through to the half time.

Mliona-Lpaka did not want to be denied, and Lopaki Kilpter was regularly threatening Atacir Tivalan before Inamari Altariiz eventually picked up a loose ball and fired home the equalizer to set up a tense finish.

Mliona-Lpaka continued to apply the pressure and it was exiled Sea Dragon youth Aimee Irin'Lur who put the Turorian side in the lead just before the hour mark. As time ran down, the Makos began to take more ambitious chances, opening space up for Mliona-Lpaka to attack on the counter. Lopaki Kilpter hit the woodwark two minutes from time in an effort that certainly would have killed off the match, but Makosile tried their best to shrug it off and focus on getting the equalizer.

In the end, it just wasn't enough as the Makos failed in their title defense, and a Turorian side lifted the Vilitan Cup for just the second time in its 40-season history.

Mliona-Lpaka (Turori) 2 - 1 Makosile United (Vilita)
Mliona-Lpaka (Turori) are Vilitan Cup Champions

Vilita (VIL) final site bids

Champions’ Cup: Lonngeylin Coliseum, Lonngeylin (capacity 115,500 Seated :: 141,000 w/ Standing)
The Coliseum is one of the oldest, but most expansive stadiums in Vilita. The Home of Vilitan club Strike FC, the stadium has undergone several renovations, name changes and expansions in its long history, which includes being a knockout venue for the World Cup 17 and 31 finals, as well as hosting the exciting World Cup 59 Final between The Babbage Islands and Aguazul and the Champions Cup 37 Final. Most recently, the Lonngeylin Coliseum was host to the 24th Cygnus Cup which was won on home turf by Strike FC. The Coliseum is known for its unique hillside accommodation, boasts one of the most impressive match atmospheres in the region. Typically, only the home fans are allowed in the south and east areas, which include both hillside seating and open hillside that can accommodate an approximately 30,000 additional fans beyond the seated capacity - depending on how far away from the stadium they wish to prop themselves. Away fans are always seated in the west grandstand.

Globe Cup: Tivali Ring Stadium, Alikki-Corra (87,000 Seated)
The Football Association of Vilita is based at the Tivali-Ring Stadium in the capital city of Alikki-Corra, Vilita and many National Team training sessions take place on the grounds of the Tivali Ring. The Football Association regularly schedule matches at arenas throughout Vilita, especially bigger matches as many of the stadiums that host Stellar Division and UICA competition matches have expanded far beyond the capacity of the National Stadium at Tivali Ring, which is used only for the National Team, and, for the Vilitan Cup Final and Tropical Trophy matchup. In addition to its World Cup matches, 'The Ring' hosted the 40th UICA Series 'B' Champions Cup Final. The stadium was constructed as part of the Vilitan bid to host the World Cup 14 Cup of Harmony as a replacement to the former National Stadium in Lopinka that was destroyed during a regional conflict.

Series B Champions Cup: Marine World Park, Crosaibi (capacity 57,500)
Marine World Park is the oldest stadium in Vilita, home of the historic club Marine Coast United. The stadium was at one time the largest stadium in Vilita by seating capacity before the construction of the Tivali Ring Stadium in Alikki-Corra prior to World Cup 13. Marine World Park is one of the few stadiums of the Vilitan league that was never hit by the expansion bug in the golden era of the Vilitan League. While many stadiums expanded to over 100,000 capacity, Marine World Park's coastal location made any expansion plans tricky, and some have blamed the lack of expansion for some of the troubles of Marine Coast United in attracting the talent they need to keep up with any of the Stellar Division teams. Marine World Park also hosted parts of the World Cup 17 Finals in addition to the 34th Series 'B' Champions Cup Final.

Turori (TUR) final site bids
Globe Cup: Eels Park, Eelandii (capacity 68,000)
The brand new Eels Park arena in "Eelandii" - A fictional city according to the official map of Turori, located between the capital of Almintora and the center of sport in Cednia, was opened for the World Cup 63 Finals hosted in Turori as well as Aguazul. The Arena has since hosted matches during the 26th Di Bradini Cup and due to its moderate size is one of the most atmospheric venues in all of Turori. Turorian National Team matches not being held in Cednia are likely to be held at Eels Park instead of Almintora National Stadium in the future.

Series B Champions Cup: Coliseum of the Inurahtii, Inura Forest (capacity 88,000)
Located in the deep forest of Turori away from the population centers, the Coliseum of the Inurahtii began construction around World Cup 31, but construction was off and on until a purpose could be found. The grand vision was to have a stadium facing the beautiful forest with the sea off in the distance, visible to those in the large eastern grandstand that towered above the canopy in the original plans. Finally, the Football Association of Turori agreed that if the stadium was completed, they would host some national team matches there. Additionally, the Vilitan League allowed Turorian Expansion team "Inura Forests FC" to be join the non-league ranks as an official member, playing based at the Coliseum during Season 27.

OOC: I apologize in advance for both how horribly incomplete certain parts of my league are and for any problems regarding UICA qualification distribution. I had intended to make it clearer in my posts, but was unable to do so. I will likely be making some changes to the details of my posts over the next few days, mainly in finishing my "preview".

Due to a bonehead move on my part, I'm unfortunately forced to resubmit my teams from last cycle. I'll come up with an IC explanation for the dropped season at some point.

Falcus (FAC) qualifiers
Champions’ Cup: Umber Lumber, Falcus FC
Globe Cup: Wingipeg Wingers, Nestingham FC, Marriet
Series B Champions’ Cup: Wingipeg FC, Harp Port, Winterfell FC, Outer Nestingham

CdC: Umber Lumber

by **Ibex** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 8:30 am

Said bonehead move also applies to my puppet. Here I can confidently say the football league was and still is suspended due to war (with Ahlenfi), so re-resubmitting these guys:

The Fiftieth Champions’ Cup
First Preliminary Round Draw

Procedural notes

The Licentian Islands (LCP) has been renamed The Licentian Isles (TLI).
The late entries of Beaverriver were accepted.
UICA reminds the German American States, Hardwinter, Kitsunia-Déesse, Tasrailia to file their UICA entries under the proper heading of the form “Samplestan (XYZ) qualifiers”, and the Califan Solidarity League not to hide its entries.
The entry of No entries. (NSB) to the Series B Champions’ Cup was rejected, as the club did not qualify on sporting merit.

Final site selection—Champions’ Cup 50
Surprisingly few candidates were put forward for the honor of hosting the fiftieth Champions’ Cup final. One of the six venues offered—Lone Island Stadium in Nirvana, Mangolana—was not even eligible under the bid criteria, as its listed capacity of a mere fifty-seven thousand is just short of the minimum for a Champions’ Cup final.

Round 1: La Fantás (FFD) 14, Lonngeylin Coliseum (VIL) 11, Flynn Arena (TIS) 8, Artani (VAL) 4 (21), National Stadium (UKA) 4 (20)
Round 2: La Fantás (FFD) 15, Lonngeylin Coliseum (VIL) 11, Flynn Arena (TIS) 8, Artani (VAL) 7
Round 3: La Fantás (FFD) 16, Lonngeylin Coliseum (VIL) 13, Flynn Arena (TIS) 12
Round 4: La Fantás (FFD) 22, Lonngeylin Coliseum (VIL) 19

The final champion of the Champions’ Cup’s first century will be crowned at La Fantás in Ferdullaele, marking the first time a UICA final has been played in Farfadillis.

Final site selection—Champions’ Cup 51
Planning ahead, the Paripana Sporting Council submitted a preliminary bid to host the next Champions’ Cup final at Holmes Stadium, in celebration of the centenary of the competition’s first final played there between Olympique Protectorat and Yuba United. Only twenty-nine votes were counted from the forty-one members of the Selection Committee, and UICA offers no official explanation as to why, but the bid was ostensibly approved without opposition.

UICA Clubs of the Century
Part 1: The One-Club Wonders

As the first hundred years of UICA competition (as measured at the Olympic Tower) come to a close, UICA has chosen to give special recognition to the club from each association which has made the greatest impact on the footballing world over this century, inclusive of the current season. These awards will be announced over the course of the season, and will be formally issued either at the club’s next UICA match this season if possible, or at the club’s next domestic league match otherwise. For clubs which no longer exist, the award will be retained by UICA for display at a location to be determined.

The ranking of clubs within each association is determined by the percentage of teams which each club surpassed in each UICA season in which they played. A team which is eliminated in the first round that it enters receives 0 points, while a team which wins a competition receives 100. A team entering the Champions’ Cup at the group stage, and eliminated in the first knockout round, would receive 50 points, having done better than 16 of the 32 teams that were in the group stage. Teams which enter the Globe Cup after elimination from the Champions’ Cup are treated as if they entered the Globe Cup in the round played concurrently with the round they entered the Champions’ Cup; a team which entered the Champions’ Cup group stage, finished third, and was eliminated in the Globe Cup first knockout round would receive 43 points for surpassing 24 clubs out of 56. Series B Champions’ Cup performances are included, but the Super Cup and Youth Cup are disregarded. Points earned in each of the fifty seasons are added together to determine the final ranking.

These first fourteen clubs faced no competition to be named Clubs of the Century, as they are the only clubs from their respective associations to have entered UICA competition. Most of them qualified through participation in the TSP Premiership, Unity League, or Élite League, while a couple are simply from leagues so small that they felt it imprudent to enter more teams.
