IV Ĉebu-Season IV
Phase One-Part One - Phase One-Part Two-

Phase Two-Part One
Phase Two-Part Two

IV Ĉertæu Naĝuu
The Fourth National Championship

The nation hurtles into the second half of the season with Maria CF and Ĝa CF knotted at twenty-three points atop the table, having broken away from the rest by more than one game's worth on the eleventh matchday. At the top of the

closely following chase pack are surprises Maĉia, with nineteen points, in a position not many would have expected of them. Isula Are Esĉer have made themselves National Championship contenders for one of the first times, as they sit in

fourth with 17 points. Behind them by only one point is Arĝa CF, whom many had written off as floundering, while they lead both Cæa ĝe Naĝu and CF Saidu, who, along with Isula ĝe Ru and Aĝi Ĉeasa, are part of a four-team struggle at the

fourteen-point mark. They're closely followed by Ĉeĉali CĝF, with thirteen, and bringing up the rear of the league are Club ĝ'Ocĉiu and Club Cæa, with eight and four points respectively. Club Cæa, indeed, has yet to win a game.
This is how the National Championship has set itself for a thrilling 11-matchday back half, and that half begins now!

Matchday Twelve[b]

Maĉia 1–1 Aĝi Ĉeasa
Club Cæa 1–1 Maria CF
Isula Are Esĉer 3–0 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
CF Saidu 2–3 Isula ĝe Ru
Ĉeĉali CĝF 1–0 Cæa ĝe Naĝu
Arĝa CF 1–2 Ĝa CF

Game of the week

Club Cæa 1–1 Maria CF

It's a heated match that ends in a draw, and it's a draw that allows a movement to the top spot. Maria do relinquish two points with the hard-fought draw against the bottom-dwellers. It's embarassing and the wound cuts even deeper with

knowledge of what went on during the rest of the matchday.

Isula Are Esĉer and Maĉia's respective win and draw combined to make the two teams a hovering, looming wall to the leaders, who have now been seperated. Maria CF's surprising draw with Club Cæa allowed Ĝa CF to capitalize on the home

turf of Arĝa CF, and Ĝa CF are now the leaders of the National Championship by two points.

[b]Matchday Thirteen

Arĝa CF 1–0 Maĉia
Ĝa CF 4–3 Ĉeĉali CĝF
Cæa ĝe Naĝu 1–1 CF Saidu
Isula ĝe Ru 0–1 Isula Are Esĉer
Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 0–1 Club Cæa
Maria CF 2–0 Aĝi Ĉeasa

Game of the week-Silver Shield Match Four

Cæa ĝe Naĝu 1–1 CF Saidu

An important game for both the League and the Shield ended in a 1-1 stalemate, a stark contrast to the Matchday Two reverse fixture, where CF Saidu blasted Cæa ĝe Naĝu 5-2. This match, however, was different. Cæa ĝe Naĝu salvaged points

in both competitions, preserving a chance to win the Shield, and settling in next to Saidu in the tables, both with fifteen points after this fixture.

Both Ĝa CF and Maria CF secured three points, meaning the lead simply shifted forward in points without change in Ĝa CF's 2-point lead. The action came below, as Isula Are Esĉer's win over Isula ĝe Ru coupled with Arĝa CF's triumph over
Maĉia to make Isula Are Esĉer the lone chaser. Also of note, it took until lucky Matchday Thirteen for Club Cæa to secure a win, as they take a 1-0 triumph away to Club ĝ'Ocĉiu.

Mist Cup-First Qualifying Round

As we enter the Mist Cup's elimination rounds, all ties are single legs at a neutral site. If drawn, thirty minutes of extra time are played, and if still tied, the match goes to kicks from the penalty mark until there is a winner.

Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 0–0 Ĉirquidu (1–1 AET) (5–4 pen.)
Vilha 3–1 O Ulĉu
Ĉebesta 4–4 CF Solcalhu (4–5 AET)
Olympi 1–2 Cæa ĝe Naĝu

Perhaps the most important fixture in terms of team size was the final one, and it saw Cæa ĝe Naĝu give Olympi an early exit ticket in the form of a 2-1 scoreline. Other games didn't fail to excite, however, as two extra time goals and

a thrilling penalty shootout added emphatic punctuation to a 0-0 ninety minutes between Club ĝ'Ocĉiu and Ĉirquidu, finally won by the National Championship team in penalties. Vilha was able to handle O Ulĉu fairly easily, as they win 3

-1, but the unrivaled thriller of the day was the goal fesitival that was Ĉebesta and Cf Solcalhu. With eight goals in normal time, the match was 4-4 level, so it went to extra time, where Solcalhu was able to win it 5-4.

Second Qualifying Round:

Ĉeĉali CĝF x Cæa ĝe Naĝu
Scholar's Tower x CF Solcalhu
Laĝerna x Vilha
Club ĝe Mara x Club ĝ'Ocĉiu

Matchday Fourteen

Maĉia 0–1 Maria CF
Aĝi Ĉeasa 1–3 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
Club Cæa 1–1 Isula ĝe Ru
Isula Are Esĉer 1–2 Cæa ĝe Naĝu
CF Saidu 2–0 Ĝa CF
Ĉeĉali CĝF 3–1 Arĝa CF

Game of the week-Silver Shield Match Five

Isula Are Esĉer 1–2 Cæa ĝe Naĝu

The Silver Shield has been decided with this match, and the final between CF Saidu and Isula Are Esĉer is a mere formality. CF Saidu has won the competition with seven points in three games, but that does not mean that this game was

unimportant. The painful loss dropped Isula Are Esĉer into a six-point gap behind the lead, while Cæa ĝe Naĝu used the three points to climb up to seventh.

CF Saidu has had a successful season. Though they sit in eighth place, well off the lead and Internation Qualification at the current time, they've just thrown a massive wrench in the works of the battle for the crown. With their 2-0

defeat of Ĝa CF, they opened the door for Maria CF to claim a one-point advantage, which they greedily took with a 1-0 win against Maĉia, who are settled in fourth.

Matchday Fifteen

Ĉeĉali CĝF 1–0 Maĉia
Arĝa CF 2–1 CF Saidu
Ĝa CF 1–0 Isula Are Esĉer
Cæa ĝe Naĝu 1–1 Club Cæa
Isula ĝe Ru 0–1 Aĝi Ĉeasa
Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 3–1 Maria CF

Game of the week

Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 3–1 Maria CF

Club ĝ'Ocĉiu is still thrashing unceremoniously at the bottom of the league table, but they can rise up long enough to force Maria CF's head back underwater, as their loss loses them the current league crown.

In a vicious battle, Ĝa CF has beaten Isula Are Esĉer, gaining the lead back from Maria CF, and by beating Isula Are Esĉer, have dealt a double blow, breaking themselves and Maria far away from the rest of the league. Maria CF is now a

full seven points ahead of the third place team, Isula Are Esĉer.

Mist Cup-Second Qualifying Round

Ĉeĉali CĝF 3–2 Cæa ĝe Naĝu
Scholar's Tower 0–0 CF Solcalhu (0–1 AET)
Laĝerna 2–0 Vilha
Club ĝe Mara 0–2 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu

As the Round of Sixteen fell into place, there is a significant absence of upsets, unless you count CF Solcalhu's 1-0 ET victory over Scholar's Tower, which I don't. Cæa ĝe Naĝu is upended by Ĉeĉali CĝF in a National Championship

matchup, while Laĝerna easily handles Vilha and Club ĝ'Ocĉiu cruises over Club ĝe Mara.

Round of Sixteen:

Ĉebu Esiru x Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
Orie Ĉea x Laĝerna
Isula Are Esĉer x CF Solcalhu
CF Saidu x Ĉeĉali CĝF
Esĉelha Siripta Saiude x Isula Esiru
Aĝi Ĉeasa x Isula ĝe Ru
Occasus x Ulmea Erea
Maria CF x A Mara

Matchday Sixteen

Maĉia 1–0 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
Maria CF 0–2 Isula ĝe Ru
Aĝi Ĉeasa 2–2 Cæa ĝe Naĝu
Club Cæa 2–2 Ĝa CF
Isula Are Esĉer 1–3 Arĝa CF
CF Saidu 3–1 Ĉeĉali CĝF

Game of the week

Maria CF 0–2 Isula ĝe Ru

With their second straight loss, Maria CF are now a full three points back, and are falling quickly as the chase pack rises up to meet them.

Ĝa CF couldn't put their lead beyond doubt in the 16th matchday, but they could gain a full point on Maria with a draw against Club Cæa. Of all teams, Arĝa CF leap onto the stage and into the fray for first, entering the battle with a

3-1 win over Isula Are Esĉer, and nearly all the teams in the National Championship now have their eyes set on the title.

Matchday Seventeen

CF Saidu 0–2 Maĉia
Ĉeĉali CĝF 5–1 Isula Are Esĉer
Arĝa CF 1–0 Club Cæa
Ĝa CF 0–1 Aĝi Ĉeasa
Cæa ĝe Naĝu 3–2 Maria CF
Isula ĝe Ru 4–4 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu

Game of the week

Ĉeĉali CĝF 5–1 Isula Are Esĉer

This is the match that may decide the National Championship. With both Ĝa CF and Maria CF losing, it was a prime point for Isula Are Esĉer to take a stab into their lead. Instead, they lost horrifically to relative unknowns Ĉeĉali CĝF,

and opened up the door for a slew of teams to compete. With a run together at the head of the table alone for so long, Maria and Ĝa now have five matchdays to salvage their crown from the mob below. Their match tomorrow will be a match

of proportions hitherto unknown.

Mist Cup-Round of Sixteen

Ĉebu Esiru 0–1 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
Orie Ĉea 0–1 Laĝerna
Isula Are Esĉer 1–0 CF Solcalhu
CF Saidu 2–1 Ĉeĉali CĝF
Esĉelha Siripta Saiude 3–0 Isula Esiru
Aĝi Ĉeasa 2–2 Isula ĝe Ru (3–2 AET)
Occasus 2–0 Ulmea Erea
Maria CF 1–0 A Mara

The first seeds Ĉebu Esiru exit, but that was to be expected as they go up against Club ĝ'Ocĉiu. Laĝerna's run continues, while Isula Are Esĉer makes up for poor league performance with a Mist Cup triumph. CF Saidu have continued their

campaign of minor successes as they move into the quarterfinals. Esĉelha Siripta Saiude have a campaign to defend their Cup, and it takes another step in the form of a 3-0 thumping of defending National Champions Isula Esiru. Aĝi Ĉeasa

takes extra time, but beats Isula ĝe Ru 3-2. Occasus continue rare form with a 2-0 domination of Ulmea Erea, while Maria CF get a closer result than expected against A Mara.

Matchday Eighteen

Maĉia 3–2 Isula ĝe Ru
Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 1–1 Cæa ĝe Naĝu
Maria CF 1–0 Ĝa CF
Aĝi Ĉeasa 0–1 Arĝa CF
Club Cæa 5–4 Ĉeĉali CĝF
Isula Are Esĉer 1–3 CF Saidu

Game of the week-Silver Shield Match Six

Isula Are Esĉer 1–3 CF Saidu

As mentioned before, the match was little more than a formality in the terms of the Shield, but it was extraordinarily important to the National Championship standings. CF Saidu's win pulled them above Isula Are Esĉer, and, with four

matchdays left, will no doubt be one that will hopefully spur a win streak.

The showdown between Maria CF and Ĝa CF was always going to be monumental, and it didn't dissapoint, unless you were a supporter of Ĝa CF. With Maria's 1-0 win, the teams are once again tied atop the table, with Arĝa CF two points back

and threatening.

Matchday Nineteen

Isula Are Esĉer 3–0 Maĉia
CF Saidu 3–0 Club Cæa
Ĉeĉali CĝF 0–0 Aĝi Ĉeasa
Arĝa CF 0–0 Maria CF
Ĝa CF 2–6 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
Cæa ĝe Naĝu 1–1 Isula ĝe Ru

Game of the week

Arĝa CF 0–0 Maria CF

This was a showdown that nobody thought would have the fate of the National Championship in its hands. However, as Maria CF and Arĝa CF battled to a goalless stalemate, Ĝa CF was suffering a 6-2 battering at the hands of Club ĝ'Ocĉiu.

The two results mean that Maria CF, Ĝa CF, and Arĝa CF enter the final three Matchdays 34-33-32 in terms of points, with the closest team, Maĉia, a full match behind.

Mist Cup-Quarterfinals

Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 1–1 Maria CF (3–2 AET)
Laĝerna 2–3 Occasus
Isula Are Esĉer 1–2 Aĝi Ĉeasa
CF Saidu 0–1 Esĉelha Siripta Saiude

They've met uncountable times in the past, including in the final of the Second Mist Cup, but now in an extra time that saw three goals, Club ĝ'Ocĉiu extradited themselves victorious, headed to National Stadium and the semifinals.

Occasus, in a lower-league quarterfinal, won another five-goal match to advance to their first Semifinal. Let's not miss the minor upsets which saw Aĝi Ĉeasa beat Isula Are Esĉer 2-1 as well as Esĉelha Siripta Saiude salvaging something

as they go on to the Semifinals in a cup defense campaign.

Matchday Twenty

Maĉia 2–0 Cæa ĝe Naĝu
Isula ĝe Ru 4–1 Ĝa CF
Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 3–1 Arĝa CF
Maria CF 5–2 Ĉeĉali CĝF
Aĝi Ĉeasa 4–2 CF Saidu
Club Cæa 1–5 Isula Are Esĉer

Game of the week

Maria CF 5-2 Ĉeĉali CĝF

When all hope seemed fading, the top three was shaken again by a Matchday Twenty that tore through the setpieces that looked to play out predictably. Not least of them was Maria CF's 5-2 massacre of Ĉeĉali CĝF, an intensly important win

in the waning matchdays. It coupled with Ĝa CF's 4-1 loss and Arĝa CF's 3-1 defeat to usher in a final two matchdays where literally every goal will count.

Matchday Twenty-One

Club Cæa 1–1 Maĉia
Isula Are Esĉer 3–1 Aĝi Ĉeasa
CF Saidu 2–2 Maria CF
Ĉeĉali CĝF 0–1 Club ĝ'Ocĉiu
Arĝa CF 0–0 Isula ĝe Ru
Ĝa CF 1–3 Cæa ĝe Naĝu

Game of the Week

CF Saidu 2–2 Maria CF

Those chasing Maria CF's lead were praying for a loss here, but with a draw on the second-to-final matchday, Maria CF has claimed a third league title. Ĝa CF, following so closely for so long, has fallen back after two straight losses;

the battle for runner-up is now headed by Maĉia and Arĝa CF.

Mist Cup-Semifinals

Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 2–3 Esĉelha Siripta Saiude

Esĉelha Siripta Saiude will have a chance to defend their Mist Cup title! Their 3-2 edging of Club ĝ'Ocĉiu ensures a second straight appearance in the biggest game in the Country.

Occasus 1–2 Aĝi Ĉeasa

Of all the teams to rise to challenge Esĉelha Siripta Saiude, Aĝi Ĉeasa would not be the one picked out by many. However, their 2-1 defeat of Occasus, also an unlikely prospect, thrust them onto the National stage.

Matchday Twenty-Two

Maĉia 0–0 Ĝa CF
Cæa ĝe Naĝu 2–2 Arĝa CF
Isula ĝe Ru 3–3 Ĉeĉali CĝF
Club ĝ'Ocĉiu 1–1 CF Saidu
Maria CF 1–4 Isula Are Esĉer
Aĝi Ĉeasa 3–0 Club Cæa

Let us give credit where credit is due. Isula Are Esĉer finish three points back, in second place, but it must feel like a massive victory. Their 4-1 smashing of Maria CF is the culmination of a sizzling rivalry, and a magnificent rise

through the table for Isula Are Esĉer. It leaves Maria CF with the title, but a National Championship that will be sure to leave a bitter, bitter taste in their mouths. Ĝa CF, have dissapointed their fans extraordinarily. Still with all

to play for, they visited Maĉia, where the goalless draw felt as bitter as a 6-0 loss when it excluded them from International Competition.

The IV Mist Cup Final
National Stadium, Isula ĝe Ru, Isula ĝe Ru

Esĉelha Siripta Saiude 1–1 Aĝi Ĉeasa

1-2 AET

There is not a soul in heaven who could have predicted the contest accurately. After conflicting goals scored in regular time, the match went to extra time (the first Mist Cup final to have done so), where Aĝi Ĉeasa took their first

major title and denied Esĉelha Siripta Saiude the chance to repeat.

It was a new look league with a new format, but it was an old face that appeared at the top of the tree after a massive 45 games. The winners of the last ever Champion's League, West Bay, won their second title in a row, leading from the beginning and holding off a determined Woodvale squad. West Bay are led by Yohan Marris, Barunia's greatest footballer, and that class showed, with the team losing just nine games, the only team to finish with losses in single digits.
The prize for most average has to go to the Western Orcas, who finished in ninth position out of sixteen, had eighteen draws, and a goal differential of just one. Special mention should also be made of the Appleburgh Tigers, who managed to let in exactly the same number of goals as they scored. The Northern Tridents have set the benchmark for goals scored by breaking the 100 goal mark.

The big story is of course Porthaven United, who have struggled ever since Victor Castolo retired, and are now out of the top tier for the first time in their history. The three time champions managed just 13 wins to finish off the bottom after crashing and burning despite some high scoring games, including a three game streak in which they scored fourteen goals and came away with a win and two draws. The Sharks also found themselves at the bottom despite a 5-1 victory over Babbage Town late in the piece. Delmars were also relegated, Edwardton surviving through the play-offs with a late away goal.

**First Season in Stellar Division

OPENING DAY SUMMARY:
For the first time in the modern era, Tivali City were back in the Stellar Division. One of the most successful clubs in the early days of the Vilitan league, Tivali City were overshadowed by the incessant success of the Yeaddin Owls, finishing runner up in Season 4 of the Stellar division and finishing no worse than 5th in the opening 7 seasons of competition. however, after finishing in the top 9 every season for the first 13 seasons of competition, a dramatic turn for the worse during Season 14 saw Tivali City relegated at the bottom of the Stellar Division. The club never recovered, and could not escape the grips of the Declasse. Finally, however, Tivali City miraculously beat out Marine Coast United to the final promotion place during Season 44. To make the occasion even more exciting for fans at the Council stadium, their promotion came along with the promotion of long time rivals Alikki-Corra, allowing the two clubs to continue the rivalry that they had reignited during the previous Declasse season.

Things certainly went better for Tivali City on opening day, a 1-1 draw with Colonial Sile was as good as a win after 30 seasons on the sidelines. However, just down the road in Alikki-Corra, it was all going wrong for Miiara Makose's side after goalkeeper Kalek Intafel was sent off for a clinical foul just 20 minutes into the match against defending champions Strike FC. Although Friekder Dandalleion skied the resulting penalty, the man advantage would prove decisive enough and 4-goals later, Strike were top of the table and Alikki-Corra were left to pick up the pieces and do their best not to let the result define their season.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 6:
After just two matchdays, just two teams remained with perfect records: Strike FC and the Turoki Tide.

Mliona-Lpaka Turori v. Jungle Strike FC :: That would be as long as they would last, however, as Mliona-Lpaka held strong on home turf with a 2-1 victory on matchday 3. Early goals from Lopaki Kilpter and Tripate Falcon put the Turorians ahead before Karisto Monafog pulled one back for the Venom. It wasn't enough, however, as Mliona-Lpaka moved into a 3-way tie atop the table on 7 points along with Turoki United an the Turoki Tide.

Turoki United slipped up though, dropping a Turoki derby result unexpectedly to Turoki Isle allowing the Tide, 3-0 winners over Rammsissil, and Mliona-Lpaka to open up some space at the top.

Turoki Tide v. Jungle Strike FC :: After not conceding a single goal over the opening 4 matchdays, the Turoki Tide would be given their toughest test yet when Strike FC came to town on Matchday 5. The match would not disappoint, with Strike opening up to a quick 2-0 lead before the Tide pulled back to take a 3-2 lead into the half. Strike would find a late equalizer to share the spoils, but in the end, both teams lost ground to Mliona-Lpaka who obliterated 10-man Turoki United in a shocking 4-0 result.

Alikki-Corra got their first win of the season on matchday 5, a 2-1 result over a struggling Cednia Beach AFC - Eikr Lillehammer's 40th minute penalty conversion the only spot of joy for the Turorian supporters.

Mliona-Lpaka would open up a 3 point lead after their matchday 6 victory over Makosile when the Turoki Tide were held by Jlinal Cove.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 10:

Mliona-Lpaka AFC v. Cednia Beach AFC :: After a slow start to the season, Cednia Beach AFC were hitting their form at the perfect time to challenge table-topping Mliona-Lpaka in the Turorian Derby. It was the visitors that enjoyed the majority of the pressure, Vanorian netminder Draugwe Nororon earning his paycheck for Mliona-Lpaka to keep the score level. Eventually, however, it was too much and experienced Vilitan poached Sirkii Moliaudo found the back of the net to deliver 3 points for the Coconuts. The result, coupled with Strike FC's 3-0 triumph at Lunar Park, eliminated the gap between the top two sides as Strike pulled level while Cednia Beach found their way back into contention in 5th place.

It was all going well for the Venom until the 2-2 draw with bottom-club Arcticala Inlet on Matchday 8 allowed Mliona-Lpaka to jump back to the top of the table.

Mliona-Lpaka would have no problems on Matchday 9 at the Arcticala Electrical Stadium, with half of the outfield getting on the scoresheet in a 5-2 result that maintained the Turorian's 2 point lead in the table.

Mliona-Lpaka lost their lead at the Council Stadium on Matchday 10 when Tivali City recorded their best result in 30 seasons, treating the home fans to a 3-2 victory and perhaps shifting the conversation away from avoiding relegation, and towards UICA Qualification as the newly promoted side climbed into the top 5, 7 points behind Strike FC who re-took the lead after their 3-0 victory (Tuzzio, Monafog(2)) over a struggling Turoki United.

THROUGH MID-SEASON:

Mliona-Lpaka AFC v. Turoki Tide :: It seemed as if Mliona-Lpaka's traditional second-half collapse was starting a few matchdays early, as the leaders at Matchday 9 were truly in freefall, slipping to third after a 2-1 defeat at home to the Turoki Tide on Matchday 11; then, being stunned by Alikki-Corra in the capital as the Academy secured a 2-0 victory to climb out of the relegation zone.

Mliona-Lpaka made it 4 defeats in a row on Matchday 13, though incredibly held on to the 3rd place in the midseason table after rivals Cednia Beach fell 1-0 to Strike FC who had opened a 5 point lead over the still-unbeaten Turoki Tide.

It appeared as if it would be a good battle for the final UICA places as Cednia Beach were holding on only through goal differential to the final Champions Cup qualifying place at the midway mark.

The loss of Nili Ylimaiina was clearly affecting Arcticala Inlet who had scored just 8 goals and conceded 21 through 13 games to prop up the table while Alikki-Corra were narrowly edging out Jlinal Cove at the drop zone, both teams winning just 2 of their opening 13 games.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 16:

The second half started the same as the first had ended for Mliona-Lpaka, dropping a 6th consecutive game to fall an almost-insurmountable 13 points off the top of the table with Strike FC's 1-0 victory over Alikki-Corra starting the championship talks already.

It was joy for Cednia Beach, however, as a brace from Eikr Lillehammer and a 3rd from Sirkii Moliaudo meant a 3-0 win over Jlinal Cove and the Coconuts pulled level with Mliona-Lpaka and Turoki United on 22 points.

Cednia Beach's challenge was knocked back a peg however on Matchday 15 in an embarassing 0-4 home defeat to Turoki United, followed by a 3-0 defeat to Makosile at the Track Venture Field on Matchday 16.

Mliona-Lpaka fared only marginally better, Strike FC putting one hand on the trophy with their 1-0 victory at the Lonngeylin Coliseum that moved them 12 points ahead of the 2nd placed Turoki Tide and put the Yeaddin Owls on watch as the Venom were on pace for a potential record-breaking points haul if they could run the table.

At the bottom of the table, Alikki-Corra dropped a crucial result to Jlinal Cove allowing the Cove to put a 4 point gap for safety ahead of Alikki-Corra and Arcticala Inlet who shared the relegation zone on 12 points.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 20:

With the addition of Nili Ylimaiina, Eastal Lunar were quietly climbing their way up the table and took advantage of the woes of the Turorian sides to move into the top 4 after a 1-0 victory over Colonial Sile on Matchday 17.

Tivali City recorded another marquee result at the Council Stadium, proving to be one of the most difficult venues of the season as leaders Strike could only leave Tivali with a point allowing the Turoki Tide to close to within 10 points of the leaders.

Jungle Strike FC v. Turoki Tide :: The stage was set and the Turoki Tide knew they needed all 3 points at the Lonngeylin Coliseum to have any chance of claiming their first Stellar Division title in 10 seasons and re-claim their right as the champions in Turoki.

Unfortunately for the visitors, Strike weren't in any mood to let anyone else into the title race and were 4 goals up in the first 15 minutes thanks to the empowered play of Apple Cobbler who set up one and scored 2 before Friekder Dandalleion's individual effort capped the scoring. The Tide stopped the bleeding but the result was just as damaging as the Venom stretched their lead to 13 points with 8 games to play.

Strike's run at history came to an end on Matchday 19 with a draw at Colonial Sile making it impossible for them to best the 70 points earned by the Yeaddin Owls during Season 10. However, the big news was at the other end of the table where Alikki-Corra's Xavier Boyle saved the day for the capital club - the only shot on goal for his side found the back of the net and lifted the Academy out of the relegation zone.

Strike responded by slowing Eastal Lunar's Champions Cup push on Matchday 20 with a 2-0 victory at the Lonngeylin Coliseum, while the Turoki Tide won the Turoki Derby 2-1 over Turoki United to re-take sole possession of 2nd place and give themselves a 7 point cushion to the good for Champions Cup qualification.

Cednia Beach AFC v. Mliona-Lpaka AFC :: The second Turori derby was just as important as the first with the two teams entering the game separated by just one point in 5th and 6th respectively. It was not looking good for the Coconuts when Eikr Lillehammer missed a penalty kick in the 17th minute, but eventually the home side would prevail in a 2-0 result to take a firm hold on Turori's guaranteed Champions Cup slot, even though they remained 2 points out of 4th place.

Strike FC opened their lead back up to 13 points with a 4-1 victory over relegation threatened Rammsissil while the Turoki Tide slipped back into the clutches of rivals United with a 1-1 draw against Makosile. Eastal Lunar's defeat to Jlinal Cove severely hampered their attempt to catch Turoki United for 3rd place and a place in the UICA Champions Cup.

Strike were confirmed as champions with 4 games to play with a 1-0 victory over Arcticala Inlet, coupled with the Turoki Tide's defeat to Cednia Beach AFC that allowed the Turorian's to pull level with Eastal Lunar for the 4th position.

Things tightened up on Matchday 23 when both Turoki sides were held to goalless draws allowing Eastal Lunar to close within 5 points in the hunt for the Champions Cup places while Mliona-Lpaka and Cednia Beach were now level on 32 points fighting for Turori's assured place in the Champions Cup.

The Turoki Tide would assure their place in the Champions Cup with a convincing 3-0 victory in a derby with Turoki Isle on Matchday 24. Meanwhile, Turoki United's 1-0 defeat to Strike FC kept Eastal Lunar in the hunt and just 4 points back for 3rd place.

At the other end of the table, a 1-1 draw with Jlinal Cove was not enough to preserve Arcticala Inlet's Stellar Division status as the former champions were finally relegated after two straight 'great escapes' having finished in the 12th position during season 43 and 44.

THE DECISIVE FINISH:

The Turoki Tide secured 2nd place with a 2-0 victory over Mliona-Lpaka that allowed Cednia Beach to close within a single point of their rivals as the two fight for a Champions Cup place on the final matchday. Eastal Lunar's own attempt to reach international club competition's premier event was ended when a 1-1 draw with Alikki-Corra kept them 4 points shy of the third position with just one game to play. The result left Alikki-Corra on the outside looking in, 13th position; but just 1 point shy of Rammsissil, their final matchday opposition.

Alikki-Corra v. Rammsissil :: Alikki-Corra player manager and former Vilita National Team defender Miiara Makose had the City Stadium on its feet with a swerving shot in the 20th minute that nearly broke through the Ramms goal but inevitably was well held by the keeper as Rammsissil knew a draw would be enough to preserve their Stellar Division status for another season.

Goalless at half time, Makose urged his players forward but the Ramms had set up a wall across the backline, unwilling to give Alikki-Corra the space to put together an attacking opportunity. After much pomp and circumstance leading up to the match, Alikki-Corra were unable to overcome their poor start and fell one point short of survival, recording one of the highest ever point totals of a relegated team in the modern era, making them instant favorites for a quick return after a season in the Declasse.

Elsewhere, Cednia Beach AFC had to go through champions Jungle Strike FC if they were to leapfrog Mliona-Lpaka to represent Turori in the UICA Champions Cup and Atlantian Oceania Champions League.

It wasn't looking likely when Riksa Valjariia put Strike in front on the half hour mark but Eikr Lillehammers equalizer sent hope through the corridors at the Cednia Beach Center.

However, a late winner in Mliona made the result in Cednia irrelevant, as Mliona-Lpaka could not be caught and clinch representation as Turori's top team despite a rare finish outside the top 4 in the Stellar Division Standings.

A gutsy season and star-studded performances by Nili Ylimaiina left Eastal Lunar just a single point short of the Champions Cup, though for the Astronauts it was a best finish of the modern era in 4th place.

OPENING DAY SUMMARY:
Not looking to be left in the dust of the Declasse for too long, the Yeaddin Owls opened the season with a 2-1 victory over the Corra Rovers at the Lirai Asku Castle.

The only other team to make an opening day statement was FC Almintora, who's recent strong performances in UICA competition have caused some to tip them as darkhorse promotion candidates, a label that was supported with their opening matchday victory over a strong Inland Peaks side.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 8:

After an opening day draw, Lonngeylin Coast - having still retained the services of Vilita National Team goalkeeper Zelkki Milake - got a notch in the win column with a 2-0 victory away at Kiiarana City on Matchday 2 and a 2-1 victory over Inland Peaks on Matchday 3.

FC Almintora v. Morata Valley :: FC Almintora put a statement victory under their belt on matchday 6, solidly taking care of Morata Valley with a 4-1 scoreline at the Almintora National Stadium in front of a strong crowd that began to sense that this FC Almintora squad may actually have a chance of entertaining them during the season.

However, Lonngeylin Coast won the Lonngeylin derby over Lonngeylin City to keep their place atop the table along with Marine Coast United, 2 points ahead of the Turorians.

Lonngeylin Coast were held on Matchday 8 by 3rd-placed Kiiara-Torra, breaking their winning streak and allowing Marine Coast United to jump to the top of the table 2 points ahead of their new Lonngeylin Rivals.

THROUGH MID-SEASON:

Lonngeylin Coast v. Marine Coast United :: The two leaders met appropriately on Matchday 13 looking to make their case in the promotion battle and it was Marine Coast United who came away with the spoils, the 1-0 victory sending them 4 points clear at the top and leaving the Crosaibi based club as the only unbeaten team left in the Declasse.

Kiiara-Torra were holding strong just 1 point out of the promotion places while Turori's best shot continued to be FC Almintora who found themselves in 5th place, 7 points out of the promotion places after a matchday 13 victory over Kiiarana City.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 18:

Marine Coast United suffered their first defeat of the season at home on Matchday 15 to Inland Peaks who began mounting a charge to the UICA places with the 1-0 result.

Inland Peaks followed it up with a 4-0 drubbing of Lonngeylin Coast, knocking the contenders out of the top 2 while Marine Coast United slipped up again, losing to the Corra Rovers to allow Kiiara-Torra to steal in to the top of the table after their 4-1 victory over Akisa Surta as system Takil began to seep its way in for a rare string of appearances in the Declasse division.

Just as FC Almintora had positioned themselves in the Top 3, they dropped an important match to Lonngeylin City as the 'other' club in the Lonngeylin shadows slid themselves up into the 3rd position.

THROUGH MATCHDAY 21:

Kiiara-Torra v. Marine Coast United :: The table-topping clash at Kiiara Park ended all square at 1 goal a piece on Matchday 20, allowing Lonngeylin City to pull within 1 point of 2nd placed Marine Coast United, and the Turorian challengers FC Almintora just an additional point back in 4th.

However, both Lonngeylin City and FC Almintora lost on Matchday 21, giving the leaders slight breathing room headed into the final 5 matches.

THE PROMOTION BATTLE:

FC Almintora ended the Yeaddin Owls promotion hopes on Matchday 22, something they had to do to keep their own campaign alive, staying within 3 points of Marine Coast United.

Lonngeylin Coast scraped up 3 points against Morata Valley but had reached true underdog status as the number of points possible was quickly moving out of their favor.

::STANDINGS WITH 4 GAMES TO PLAY::
1 :: [42] Kiiara-Torra
2 :: [40] - Marine Coast United
3 :: [38] - Lonngeylin City
4 :: [37] - FC Almintora
5 :: [34] - Inland Peaks
6 :: [33] - Lonngeylin Coast

Marine Coast United faced a tough challenge in the Declasse-style Classico on Matchday 23 and the goalless draw with the Yeaddin Owls allowed Lonngeylin City to move into the 2nd place on goal differential after their 4-0 romp over the Corra Rovers.

FC Almintora could not capitalize in their game against virtually relegated Vilisorma and remained 3 points behind the promotion places.

The Turorian's misery grew further at the Almintora National Stadium when their last chance to climb into the promotion places slipped away in a 2-1 defeat to Marine Coast United that left them 6 points back with just 6 to play for. Inland Peaks also squandered their opportunity as it appeared the promotion battle was going to come down to 3 teams fighting for 2 spots.

At the other end of the table, only a pair of victories could save Vilisorma while Morata Valley were 2 points behind Tkaob Inland with a ticket back to the Tropicorp Lower League awaiting if they could not climb out of the hole.

::STANDINGS WITH 2 GAMES TO PLAY::
1 :: [45] Kiiara-Torra
2 :: [44] - Lonngeylin City
- :: [44] - Marine Coast United
4 :: [38] - Inland Peaks
- :: [38] - FC Almintora

A trio of goalless draws on Matchday 25 were enough to eliminate the Inland Peaks and FC Almintora, while maintaining the status quo amongst the three contenders heading into the crucial final matchday. Vilisorma's relegation was confirmed while Morata Valley recorded a well-timed 2-0 victory over the Corra Rovers to climb back into the top 12, displacing Tkaob Inland with one game to play.

Marine Coast United v. Lonngeylin Coast :: Marine Coast United had it all to do, and the most difficult path to get there with Vilitan goalkeeper Zelkki Milake and Lonngeylin Coast standing in their path to promotion. Already having a goal differential advantage, Lonngeylin City had already-relegated Vilisorma as their opponents while leaders Kiiara-Torra hosted Turorian side Kionao Locals.

Things got more difficult for Marine Coast United after 20 minutes when Tlikao Muratai scored to put Lonngeylin Coast up 1-0 at Marine World Park.

It was the perfect scoreline for the other promotion chasers, as it meant that no matter what they did, they'd be going up. There was still the title to play for, however, and Lonngeylin City got the upper hand with a second half goal against Vilisorma, catapulting them above Kiiara-Torra for their third Declasse title in the past 5 seasons.

Morata Valley v. Tkaob Inlands :: The real battle took place in the Valley however where it was a winner-takes-all match between rivals Morata Valley and Tkaob Inlands to be played out at Valley Park. The home side knew a draw would be sufficient for them and for 83 minutes, it appeared they had done enough until Tkaob Inlands snatched a goal against the run of play in the 83rd minute.

Tkaob sealed the deal in the 89th minute with an easy counter attack goal after Morata Valley had pushed everyone forward in an attempt to rectify their relegation fate.

Vilitan Cup Pod Stage:
Pod 1: Mliona-Lpaka, Sokattack Mliona (N) :: Kimoara Lika (N), Lonngeylin Coast
- - - - - - - :: It was the All-Mliona show in Pod 1 as Mliona-Lpaka bested the pod with Non-League rivals Sokattack Mliona in close tow. The non-leaguers bested Lonngeylin Coast 2-0 at the Sokattack Stadium to pile on the misery for Coast who were preparing for a campaign in the Declasse division after an unpredicted fall from the top flight during Season 44.
Pod 2: Tivali City, Lopinka (N) :: Kionao Locals, Jlinal City (N)
- - - - - - - :: Rare Turorian success in Mliona did not carry over to Kionao as the Steffyn Siazzu-led Locals crashed out after failing to score a single goal, with former league side Lopinka Rovers joining Tivali City advancing from Pod 2.
Pod 3: Turoki United, Kiiara-Torra :: Lopinka Locals (N), Surf Jettica (N)
- - - - - - - :: Turoki United had little trouble with the opposition in Pod 3 despite resting Mumau Atla-Siioai for the competition. Declasse side Kiiara-Torra bested non-league side Surf Jettica as Pod 3 went to form.
Pod 4: Jungle Strike FC, Akisa Surta :: Vilisorma Locals (N), Sporta Eelandii (N)
- - - - - - - :: While they didn't end up advancing from Pod 4, Turorian non-league side Sporta Eelandii, one of the most newly formed clubs in the Vilita & Turori Domestic system, came up with possibly one of the most unexpected results in recent seasons when they held Strike FC to a 1-1 draw at Sporta Park in Eelandii. In fact, it took a stoppage time goal from Retiso Buran to save the Venom, in what would prove to be the biggest match in the history of Sporta Eelandii, even as they crashed out of the competition. Akisa Surta defeated non-league side Vilisorma Locals to advance along with Strike.
Pod 5: Eastal Lunar, FC Almintora :: Tropicorp FC (N), Tivali Locals (N)
- - - - - - - :: Tropicorp Park was abuzz as Tropicorp's only professional sports club had the chance to advance to the knockout rounds of the Vilitan Cup. It was not to be, however, as the Turorians advanced with a 2-1 victory to join Eastal Lunar who's 8 goals trounced the pod. Rumors continued to persist about Tropicorp FC's future, as the commercially funded side with international talent has yet to escape from the Tropicorp Lower League and reportedly has entertained the prospect of a switch in allegiance to the Liga Calania if they continue to struggle in the V-League system.
Pod 6: Colonial Sile, Crosaibi Rovers (N) :: Kiiarana City, Vilisorma
- - - - - - - :: Crosaibi Rovers advanced for the first time since Season 38 with thrilling victories over Declasse sides Kiiarana City and Vilisorma, giving the amateur side the opportunity once again to attempt to win a Vilitan Cup knockout stage match for the first time. Stellar Division side Colonial Sile had little resistance navigating the pod.
Pod 7: Cednia Beach AFC, Lonngeylin City :: Terrarokka Spirit (N), Morata Valley
- - - - - - - :: Declasse side Lonngeylin City edged out the Terrarokka Spirit 2-0 at Lonngeylin Park to claim the second spot in Pod 7 behind Cednia Beach AFC who advanced on the strength of goals from Sirkii Moliaudo and Nubara Moafalia to eliminate Declasse side Morata Valley.
Pod 8: Crosaibi Locals (N), Yeaddin Owls :: Makosile, Inland Peaks
- - - - - - - :: Makosile marched into Yeaddin with a new look - including Barunia's Carl Silva, who transferred from Yeaddin during the offseason. It made the moment that much more memorable when Actalia Mermaioada lit up the Lirai Asku Castle with his 73rd minute goal to send Makosile crashing out of the Cup and sending the Owls through to the Knockout Rounds. In a complete reversal, Non-League side Crosaibi Locals bested the Inland Peaks to advance as well.
Pod 9: Turoki Tide, Corra Rovers :: Arcticala Inlet, Orbital Kickers (N)
- - - - - - - :: The Orbital Kickers made a rare Pod-stage appearance but didn't last long with the Turoki Tide besting them at the Turoki Community Complex to top Pod 9. Non-League side Corra Rovers upended Arcticala Inlet who were clearly short on fire power after losing long-time striker Nili Ylimaiina to Eastal Lunar.
Pod 10: Rammsissil, Riailia Village (N) :: Tkaob Inland, Alikki-Corra
- - - - - - - :: After making waves during the off-season many expected the draw in Pod 10 to be favorable to Alikki-Corra, but instead the capital city side struggled, failing to score a goal and crashing out with non-league side Riailia Village advancing beyond the pods for the first time since Season 35. Recently promoted Rammsissil bested the pod, eliminating declasse side Tkaob Inland.
Pod 11: Jlinal Cove, Turoki Isle :: Irottea (N), Marine Coast United
- - - - - - - :: Jlinal Cove had little problem navigating Pod 11 on the strength of a 2-1 victory over a 10-man Marine Coast United side, sending the 2 time Cup Champions crashing out at their first hurdle. The 'Cove would be joined by Turoki Isle who bested Non-League side Irottea 3-1 at the Turoki National Stadium.

Vilitan Cup Round 2:

Where one Turorian side's dream was ended, another marched on as Non-League side Sokattack Mliona bested Stellar Division side Turoki Isle, led by Turorian National goalkeeper G.Q. Disterfred, to advance to the Round of 16.

FC Almintora, on the other hand, were not as fortunate, themselve being outed by a non-league side - the Crosaibi Rovers.

Vilitan Cup Round of 16:

Cindarella story Sokattack Mliona had their UICA Globe Cup qualification dreams quashed at the penalty spot as Rammsissil held on for a remarkably inefficient 2-1 penalty shootout result after a goalless 120 minutes at the Sissil Bank Stadium.

There was one Non-League side to advance however, the Crosaibi Locals - the most succesful non-league side of all time in the Vilitan Cup with a pair of Semi-Final appearances in the golden era - ousted Declasse high flyers Kiiara-Torra 2-1 after extra time in Crosaibi.

The only other shocker came in Lonngeylin where Declasse side Lonngeylin City added to Mliona-Lpaka's mid-season misery, dumping the Turorian side out of the cup and leaving only Cednia Beach left to fly the flag for the Island Emirate.

Vilitan Cup Quarter-Finals: (Two Legs)

Lonngeylin City v. Corra Rovers :: A first-time Vilitan Cup semi-finalist was guaranteed when Lonngeylin City and Corra Rovers were drawn together to contest a rare all-Declasse two-legged quarter final fixture.

The first leg at Lonngeylin Park was a tense affair with neither side giving an inch in a goalless draw, meaning the fixture would come down to the return leg at Corra Park. Lonngeylin City, flying high in the Declasse, would strike early to take control of the fixture but had to defend feverishly after going down to 10 men just before half time. In the end, they would hang on to advance to their first ever Vilitan Cup Semi-Finals appearance.

Jungle Strike FC v. Cednia Beach AFC :: After winning the first leg 1-0 at Lonngeylin Coliseum thanks to a Friekder Dandalleion goal, the defending Cup Champions appeared well on their way to another strong title defense.

However, with the support of a Nation behind them, the Coconuts were not giving up and fought back through Eikr Lillehammer and Dmitri Levada to take a 2-1 aggregate lead into the second half at the Cednia Beach Center. In the end however, the Farfadilly Friek would have the last word - the 69th minute goal to level the aggregate scores would also be enough to see the Venom through on the highly controversial away goals rule.

Turoki Tide v. Rammsissil :: The Turoki Tide survived a two-legged battle with the Ramms of Rammsissil with a 1-0 aggregate victory to return to the Semi-Finals one season after an embarassing Pod-Phase exit in the Vilitan Cup.

Crosaibi Locals v. Turoki United :: One Non-League side remained and the Crosaibi Locals were trying to reach the Semi-Finals for a record third time as a Non-League representative in the Vilitan Cup. Not challenging for the Stellar Division title, Turoki United management realized their season would depend on their Cup performance and ensured that Mumau Atla-Siioai was available for the two-legged stage.

While Turoki United struggled to break down the Locals defense, Atla-Siioai did exactly what he was best at doing, keeping everything out of the net, holding the Non-League side goalless over two matches; allowing the loan goal in the second leg in Crosaibi to be the difference sending the Stellar Division side through to the final four.

Vilitan Cup Semi-Finals: (Two Legs)

It was a double-derby scenario in the Vilitan Cup Semi-Finals with one pairing taking place in Lonngeylin and the second confined exclusively to the Turoki Community Complex in Turoki City.

Jungle Strike FC (VIL) v. Lonngeylin City (VIL) ::
On the mainland, Lonngeylin City's opponent in their first ever Vilitan Cup Semi Final was the defending champions and Stellar Division champions Strike FC. The first leg was held at Lonngeylin park but the Venom certainly looked comfortable from the start, Friekder Dandalleion scoring twice and Karisto Monafog with a third to put the favorites up 3-0 by the hour mark. However, Lonngeylin City did claim a stoppage time consolation goal to give them some hope going into the second leg.

Overturning a 3 goal swing at Lonngeylin Coliseum would be no easy feat, however, and just 30 minutes in 'Le Friek' had added another for the Venom's 4th of the round. Lonngeylin City would once again get a stoppage time goal, this time in the first half of the second leg to just keep the possibilities open over the final 45 minutes.

In the end, however, it was just too much to overcome and Retiso Buran ended any City hopes as Strike ran out 5-2 winners on aggregate.

Turoki Tide (VIL) v. Turoki United (VIL) ::
In Turoki City, there was a 'designated home team' but the reality was, the stadium was simply split 50/50 for the two games and Turoki United's 1-0 win in the opener as the 'Away Team' didn't dampen the spirits of the Turoki Tide too much as they looked to rebound in the second leg.

Fully up to the challenge, the Tide equalized the matchup in the return leg forcing extra time, and then penalty kicks where they would ultimate out-duel their rivals who were this time without the aging Atla-Siioai who was left out of the second leg and ultimate penalty shootout - perhaps a critical error in the scheduling for the Silvers.

Vilitan Cup Final:

It was just the second ever Vilitan Cup final meeting between Jungle Strike FC and the Turoki Tide, with Strike winning the previous fixture during Season 42. The Turoki Tide had managed to avoid Strike in the final for its two previous Cup triumphs in Season 33 and 35 - However, both of those victories came at the expense of the previous seasons Cup champion, a status held by Strike coming into the final at the Tivali Ring Stadium.

Strike's Schiavone netminder Viliaka O'Connor had already proven a worthy-enough replacement for Kajaxo Imaslavii, leading Strike to a Stellar Division romp, but now he was looking to lead the Venom to a rare Triple Title season, having also won the Tropical Trophy earlier in the campaign.

25 minutes in Retiso Buran had an excellent opportunity for the Venom that Hooizo Nuakoi could only push aside for a corner kick. The kick was delivered by Karisto Monafog who found Benjamin Koenig inch-perfectly and the Starblaydian defender picked his spot in the back of the net to give Strike a 1-0 lead that they took in to the half.

The 'Tide were relying on their playmaker Kiroki Mitaroka to make things happen in the second half and it wasn't for a lack of trying as Mitaroka was taking pot-shots at the goal from all kinds of ranges and angles, trying to work the relatively inexperienced Venom goalkeeper and find a weakness.

Having been carefully trained and groomed through the Venom Academy, however, O'Connor was proving a tough nut to crack and the Tide were getting desparate as full time closed in, ending the match in an attackin 2-4-4 formation. It was to no availa, however, as Jungle Strike FC completed a rare sweep of Vilitan silverware in defending their Vilitan Cup title and lifting the cup for a record 13th time.

Vilita (VIL) final site bids

Globe Cup: Lunar Park, Seraai, Vilita (129,000)
Lunar Park became the largest stadium in Vilita at the time of its construction. Although some stadiums have added poor quality seating or standing/viewing areas to exceed the 129,000 capacity mark, Lunar Park offers quality seats all around the stadium and is the largest all-seater stadium in the nation. Fans at Lunar Park sometimes get treated to events such as Rocket Launches and suborbital testing as the stadium was constructed by the Vilitan Space Program overlooking some of their active launch facilities. Lunar Park is the home of Vilitan side Eastal Lunar FC and hosted the final of the Cup of Harmony 50: Golden Edition in addition to Series-B Champions Cup 37 and 45.

Series 'B' Champions Cup: Marine World Park, Crosaibi (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 and 47th Series 'B' Champions Cup Final and Second Youth Cup Semi-Final and Final rounds.

Cygnus 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.

After being runner up in the voting to host multiple previous UICA finals including the previous UICA Champions Cup final, The UICA Champions Cup trophy was finally listed at the home of the Vilitan National Team for its 55th edition

Turori (TUR) final site bids

Champions Cup: Iobabao Legendary Park (90,500 Seated)
The rising success of Mliona-Lpaka in the modern era of the Vilitan League necessitated the renovation of the old Mliona Park stadium to improve not only capacity but quality of experience as it was no longer just locals but foreign visitors and clubs travelling to Turori to visit the stadium. While some funding came from the clubs success, others came from Turorian Tourism funding to ensure visiting fans wanted to come back to Turori after their first impressions. After the renovations were complete, the stadium was renamed after former Mliona-Lpaka and Turori Eels star Kaboafo Iobabao.

Globe Cup: Almintora National Stadium, Almintora, Turori (79,000 Capacity)
The Almintora National Stadium hosts both the Turori National Team, and Vilitan League side FC Almintora on a regular basis throughout the season. The stadium originally had a capacity of 45,000 when built, but was expanded to its current capacity as a host site for World Cup 17 and 19 Finals. It served as the home of the Turori National Team until the modern era when a new, smaller, purpose built facility in the sporting center area of Eelandii was constructed.

Series B Champions Cup: Kionao Minor Field, Kionao (capacity 88,000)
Kionao Locals would make 88,000 tickets available for the event, per their proposal, which includes the installation of a large video board for the match in the location where over 20,000 standing room only tickets are currently sold on matchdays. Other stadium improvements include a large pen where some Cocoabos will be on display to help raise awareness for the plight of the Cocoabo.

Cygnus Cup: Coliseum of the Inurahtii - Inura Forest, Turori (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.

Paradystopia (PDT) Final Site Bids

Champions' Cup:
Universittie Quodrangle, Newetoun
Capacity: c.78,000
Paradystopia's newest stadium is fast becoming one of the capital's most renowned pieces of architecture. Towering up from the banks of the river which meanders though the sprawling metropolis, it is also currently the largest sporting venue in the country and keen to get it's name onto the international sporting map.
A great deal of local pride surrounds this building which was funded in part by a conglomerate of fans to house the Adyshar Aghademykes. This, in conjunction with it being bordered by the local university (arguably Paradystopia's most revered) and the riverside park which provides a little greenery in the city centre, means that finding a more beautiful location for the cup final will be nigh-on impossible.
Newetoun itself is a vast cosmopolitan city and a popular Esportivan tourist location. As long as you can get your head around our esoteric currency, you're certain to enjoy yourself here.

Series B Champions' Cup:
The Bobbert-Ovbortland Arena, Bobbert-Ovbortland City
Capacity: unknown
Dear Misters or Mistresses of Uica,

With this letter, I submit my stadium which I did built for your choosings for the Champions Cup of the Bee serieses.

My name is Bobbert Ovbort and I am strong Arkan man. I earn my money by the fishing of the fishes under cruel womens of my homeland. But soon I had earned enough money and did buy land in the country of Paradystopia. This land is now my land and I did built grand stadium for the playings of footballs.

Paradystopi Health and Safety Officer, she tells me 'Bobbert, your stadium, he is no good.' The stands she say are an 'accident waiting to happen'. I laugh at this silly woman and says 'Lady, there is no accident waiting to happen for Bobbert Ovbort did built these stands and Bobbert Ovbort, he makes no accidents. All ropes, they are tied super good. It would take hundred mens to break those bonds.' She say 'The stands, they creaks yet no-one is upon them'. Again I laugh for these 'creaks', they are roars of strength and cries of pity at the words of this woman. My stadium, he yearns for the crowds and the footballs.

Of course, it is hopes that you do not concern yourselves with the words of this Paradystopi lady. I am a proud Arkan man and I knows the racism when I sees it! All talk of 'unsuitable sanitation facilities'. I know not these complicated words but if three working toilets be unsuitable for large footballs match then we dig great shytepit and problem is solved.

All problem can be solved very easy.

Yours Sincerefully

Bobbert Ovbort

P.S. Please find this envelope contain modest sum of Paradystopi money to help your considerations which I am advised legally to state be not bribings.

United League: Season 6 Preview
by Steve McNotapony

It's that time again folks! The United League season is right around the corner, and hoofball supporters throughout the Equestrian States and Crystal Empire are eagerly anticipating their clubs' first match.

Once again, an lively transfer window has had a noticeable impact on the league's balance of power, especially near the top of the table, with the Canterlot Royals and Ponyville United hanging onto their most prized assets while the Cloudsdale Flyers and defending champions Crystopolis City each lost at least one of their key players from last season. Elsewhere, Globe Cup contenders Appleoosa, Everfree Forest, Stalliongrad, and Whitetail all made additions to their squads which they hope will permit them a slight edge in the extremely-competitive race for the much-coveted last couple spots in the tournament. Even clubs expected to be threatened by relegation got involved and their respective purchases and sales could play a major role in determining who stays up and who will drop down to the Second League.

Speaking of relegation, changes to the structure of the league pyramid that are scheduled to take effect next season will see the bottom three teams relegated from the United League's top flight at the end of the upcoming season instead of the usual two. Meanwhile, the additional third spot in the United League will be decided by a playoff among the Second League's 3rd-6th place clubs, with the playoff winner joining the top two finishers in the top flight next season. As expected, supporters of clubs which are regularly involved in fight to avoid relegation aren't very pleased with the new spot they'll need to worry about, while Second League fans are overjoyed at the additional opportunity to see their club promoted to the United League.

With the race for the United League title expected to be closer than ever before, the number of clubs with a chance at securing Globe Cup action higher than in any past season, and the expansion of the relegation zone injecting new life into clubs at the bottom of the table hoping to avoid the drop, this season is shaping up to be the most exciting - or, at least, the most interesting - in United League history. There's something for every club to fight for, so let's take a look at the teams, where they stand now, and how they're likely to do this season.

Appleoosa HC
Manager:

Applestar
Home Stadium: Apple Orchard Park (cap. 52,680) in Appleoosa, Equestrian States
Last Season: 18-6-14 (8th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Cornflower from

Cloudsdale Flyers on Loan
Starting Players (4-4-2):

Barrel Roll (GK, #1);

Lorenzo Jinalii (DF, #2);

Twister (DF, #4);

Sunrise Spark (DF, #3);

Hokalesqua (DF, #20);

Matteo Grazzani (MF, #8);

Youngheart (MF, #5);

Apple Pie (MF, #9);

Antinanco (MF, #16);

Cornflower (FW, #11);

Appleshine (FW, #10)

Young Appleoosa Squad Hoping to Crash Globe Cup Party
Despite narrowly missing out on a Globe Cup berth last season thanks to a dreadful start to their campaign, the Harvesters enter this season full of optimism. After first signing Cornflower on loan for a second spell, Appleoosa manager Applestar dove back into the loan market and emerged with Ponyville United's Twister, a 17 year-old defender who might one day feature for the Equestrian national team. Then, just to add to her already young squad, Applestar swooped in and stole Manechester City's talented teenage right back, Sunrise Spark, for $2.6 million. With a starting XI that features six under-21s and several veteran internationals, Appleoosa HC appears to have a bright future and might finally be able to break into the Globe Cup with a little luck this season. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 7th in United League

Canterlot Royals
Manager:

Twilight Striker
Home Stadium: Grand Regal Stadium (cap. 81,955) in Canterlot, Equestrian States
Last Season: 21-6-11 (4th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Rose Quartz from

Canterlot Stars for $5.5 million
Starting Players (3-5-2):

Amberlocks (GK, #1);

Horus (DF, #2);

Rose Quartz (DF, #4);

Shimura Kazu (DF, #8);

Rapid Dash (MF, #10);

David Köhler (MF, #5);

Andres de Colorado (MF, #7);

Marco Castell (MF, #19);

Lightning Streak (MF, #3);

Marílinha (FW, #9);

Berry Splash (FW, #11)

For Royals' Aging Stars, Window of Opportunity is Closing
What's wrong with the Canterlot Royals these days? With a talented roster full of capped internationals and one of the United League's best coaching staffs led by former national team manager Twilight Striker, the Royals should be regularly competing for league titles and the Equestrian States' Champions' Cup berth, but instead find themselves finishing almost every season and rarely making a mark in the Globe Cup. Most analysts attribute the Royals' relative lack of success to the age of their star midfielders who may be past their prime, though recent signings over the last couple seasons such as Rose Quartz, Shimura Kazu, and Berry Splash all bring youthful energy to an aging but very experienced squad. And although Marco Castell and Amberlocks have seen their respective national team managers cut their international playing time, they're both still talented players who are in their prime. However, for midfielders Rapid Dash and David Köhler, time is running out to end a trophy drought that has plagued the Canterlot Royals ever since they won the league back in the first season that Equestrian clubs competed in UICA tournaments. With a little luck, the Royals could end that painfully long run of close calls this year with their current talent, but that luck has evaded the Royals for more than a few seasons and I suspect that supporters will once again be forced to settle for the Globe Cup. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 4th in United League; Globe Cup

Canterlot Stars
Manager:

Pearly White
Home Stadium: Star Stadium (cap. 59,250) in Canterlot, Equestrian States
Last Season: 18-11-9 (5th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Redtooth from

Stalliongrad HC for $5.5 million
Starting Players (4-4-2):

Nightflame (GK, #1);

Marco Fantinelli (DF, #4);

Redtooth (DF, #15);

Rainboom Flyer (DF, #14);

Xena (DF, #6);

Jermaine Poole (MF, #7);

Mikko Gravesen (MF, #11);

Primrose Evergreen (MF, #9);

Blue Skies (MF, #8);

Isshiki Mika (FW, #10);

Fantina Zirome (FW, #5)

Ambitious Stars Target Top Four Finish
Although the Canterlot Stars have historically been overshadowed by their rival club in the Equestrian capital, the "other" club from Canterlot may finally be reversing its recent poor fortune. After replacing most of her first team squad last season, manager Pearly White led the Stars to their best finish since the formation of the United League, allowing the club to finally return to UICA competition after a lengthy absence. Though the sale of Rose Quartz, an experienced but still very young defender, will likely hurt the Stars in the back a fair bit, purchasing former Equestrian U-21 center back Redtooth from Stalliongrad should go a long way in making up for the loss of the international-caliber defender. Perhaps most importantly for the Stars' faithful supporters is the incredible amount of young talent in the first team, with only Xena being over 24 years-old, and that youth comes with boundless optimism and ambition. Pearly White has gone on record that her goal this season is top break the hegemony of the United League's top four, which has consisted of the Canterlot Royals, Cloudsdale Flyers, Crystopolis City, and Ponyville United in all but one of the United League's five seasons. While it may be too much to expect a breakthrough this season, the Stars are definitely on an upwards trend and will likely be contenders within the next few years. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 5th in United League; Globe Cup

Cloudsdale Flyers
Manager:

Maarten Berg
Home Stadium: Sky-High Coliseum (cap. 65,000) in Cloudsdale, Equestrian States
Last Season: 20-10-8 (3rd in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Cloudchaser to

La Nueva Avenida for $18 million
Starting Players (4-5-1):

High Soarin' (GK, #1);

Erauso Iburrusteta (DF, #4);

Joachim Karlsen (DF, #3);

Sunlight (DF, #11);

Akechi Naruko (DF, #7);

Saten Ruiko (MF, #6);

Løver Storås (MF, #12);

Sapphire Rose (MF, #10);

Nightwing (MF, #5);

Rippling Breeze (MF, #14);

Ezio Grassi (FW, #9)

Flyers Eying Rebound After Disappointing Season
Maarten Berg probably would've liked to start his reign as manager of the Cloudsdale Flyers a bit better than he did. Widely considered early favorites to claim the United League title last season, the Flyers' boasted the league's most talented squad, with their new Polarian manager taking over for Mad Dash, who had sprung at the opportunity to manage the Kazamatsuri national team. Cloudsdale's season got off to a fantastic start, winning their first match on the road at Stalliongrad by an incredible 7-2 score, which they followed up with a 2-0 home victory against Crystopolis City. Though the season saw the Flyers' form fluctuate somewhat erratically, Cloudsdale sat just two points out of first place with five matches left to play. However, a subsequent draw against the Canterlot Royals in which the Flyers surrendered a late 2-0 lead dealt a serious blow to the team's morale, and just two matches later, the Flyers were eliminated from the title race in a 1-0 defeat to Appleoosa; a loss which also virtually eliminated any hopes Cloudsdale had of returning to the Champions' Cup, and thus despite a strong start, the Flyers finished just third in the league. Although the loss of Equestrian national team captain Cloudchaser to Farfadillis's La Nueva Avenida will hurt the Flyers' midfield depth, Maarten Berg's squad still must be considered one of the league's most talented and is more than capable of lifting the trophy at the end of the season. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 2nd in United League; Globe Cup

Crystal City United
Manager:

Hearti
Home Stadium: Heartland Stadium (cap. 46,750) in Crystal City, Crystal Empire
Last Season: 14-10-14 (11th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Pearly Shores from

Canterlot Royals for $2.5 million
Starting Players (4-4-2):

Ardent (GK, #8);

Pearly Shores (DF, #6);

Toastie (DF, #2);

Gilded Emerald (DF, #7);

Arda (DF, #4);

Paradise (MF, #9);

Diamond Heart (MF, #11);

Jaded Fury (MF, #5);

Kalle Hope (MF, #3);

Crystal Arrow (FW, #10);

Misty (FW, #12)

Crystal City Retains Crystal Arrow's Services Another Season Despite Rumors
The top story for Crystal City United has been the same for the last several years: will the Crystal Stars finally sell Crystal Arrow? And the answer to that burning question remains the same as well: no. Easily the Crystal Empire's top striker, Crystal Arrow has been linked to every top club in the United League and a handful of foreign ones on a regular basis, though Crystal City United has repeatedly rejected any advances. However, with the club's best player's contract entering its final year, the Crystal Stars' leadership faces a difficult dilemma and will need to either sign Crystal Arrow to a new long-term deal or find a buyer for their superstar. Should Crystal City fail to re-sign their star striker or sell him, the Crystal Stars may lose Crystal Arrow on a free transfer, which would leave the club without it's top scorer and without the funds to replace him. As such, the Crystal Stars will likely be eager to prove to their superstar that he can still succeed with the club and may yet retain his services another season should they adequately impress. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 10th in United League; Globe Cup

Crystal Fair HC
Manager:

Lunar Dusk
Home Stadium: Crystopolis Coliseum (cap. 35,870) in Crystopolis, Crystal Empire
Last Season: 27-9-2 (1st in Second League)
Biggest Transfer:

Sugar Glass from

Scoltland City for $2.9 million
Starting Players (4-5-1):

Keelie Gold (GK, #1);

Indigo Nocturne (DF, #2);

Hazelnut (DF, #6);

Crystalline Blaze (DF, #14);

Glistening Gold (DF, #4);

Sugar Glass (MF, #21);

Lunar Shadow (MF, #10);

Cinnamon Swirl (MF, #5);

Rafael Murgia (MF, #8);

Steelfeather (MF, #3);

Silver Moon (FW, #9)

After Shattering Second League Records, Crystal Fair Looks to Sustain Success
There was no team in the Second League last season that stood a chance of stopping Crystal Fair, and the Grounders not only were the first club from the Crystal Empire to win the league title and earn promotion to the United League, but also broke virtually every second tier record along the way. Most points in a season? Broken. Largest points margin between a league winner and the runner-up? Broken. Most wins? Broken. Fewest losses? Broken. Fewest goals conceded? Broken. Most clean sheets? Broken. Longest unbeaten streak? Broken. Crystal Fair was simply relentless the entire season, and would've finished with only one loss all season if not for a narrow defeat against already-relegated Trotheim United in a meaningless match on the final day. With the Grounders' success widely being attributed to the tactical brilliance of manager Lunar Dusk and a youth academy which is churning out top-notch players at an insane rate, there's no reason to suspect that Crystal Fair's performance last season was just a fluke. The only real criticism most had of Crystal Fair last year was their lack of a goalscoring attacking midfielder, a concern that was put to rest by the purchase of recently-capped 21 year-old Crystalline international Sugar Glass from Scoltland City, the Second League's leading goalscorer last season among midfielders. While there may be an adjustment period for this talented young squad as they adapt to the rigors of United League play, I believe that they'll manage to stay up another season despite the expanded relegation zone. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 17th in United League

Crystopolis City
Manager:

Ember Mane
Home Stadium: Imperial Arena (cap. 69,740) in Crystopolis, Crystal Empire
Last Season: 25-4-9 (1st in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Krystal to

Burgess FC for $17 million
Starting Players (4-4-2):

Starshine (GK, #1);

Xavi Vilhjalmsson (DF, #3);

Sunshine Splash (DF, #4);

Blistering Heat (DF, #2);

Ivory (DF, #9);

Akamu (MF, #16);

Boskenna Penhallow (MF, #11);

Princess Jojo (MF, #5);

Fillyfyre (MF, #6);

Jeremy Anselm (FW, #10);

Helia (FW, #20)

Plundered After Winning League, Crystopolis City Faces Uphill Battle to Retain Title
To say that nobody expected that transfer window to rip apart Crystopolis City's United League-winning squad would be a massive understatement. Most experts believed that finally winning the title after coming so close year after year would allow the Royalty to cash in on the transfer market and form a team that could sustain a dynasty akin to that which Ponyville United has boasted over the last decade. Instead, foreign clubs came swooping in from abroad to lure two of the club's best players away with prestige and money. Losing striker Esmeralda to Gloriax's Industus for a mind-boggling fee of $22.5 million certainly hurt, but the real blow came from the loss of the team's captain and midfield superstar Krystal to LigAnaia's Burgess FC for $17 million. The player who had been critical to Crystopolis City's successes over the last six seasons suddenly gone, the Royalty desperately needed to make a big move to replace their departed stars. But despite receiving a whopping $41.7 million from player sales, Ember Mane barely made a dent in even his original budget, only spending $3.8 million to bring in relegated Manechester City star Fillyfyre, who - though young and talented - is hardly a replacement for Krystal. With two of their stars gone and others like Xavi Vilhjalmsson and Jeremy Anselm nearing the ends of their careers, Crystopolis City will not have an easy time defending their title. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 3rd in United League; Champions' Cup

Everfree Forest HC
Manager:

Infinitive
Home Stadium: Wild Grounds (cap. 56,500) in Everfree, Equestrian States
Last Season: 13-12-13 (13th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Decima from

Ponyville United on Loan
Starting Players (3-5-2):

Marcela Guadarrama (GK, #1);

Francisco Tlatenchi (DF, #6);

Ironclaw (DF, #2);

Crimson Mesa (DF, #3);

Ciorstaidh Platform (MF, #10);

Raíssa Capetinha (MF, #7);

Cloud Nine (MF, #9);

Nikki Sunshine (MF, #18);

Shoeshine (MF, #5);

Decima (FW, #20);

Kira Rei (FW, #11)

Everfree Forest's Low-Budget Rebuilding Project Shows Promise
Infinitive may not be the most popular manager in the United League and is far from being its best when it comes to tactics, but one can hardly find any faults in his efforts to transform Everfree Forest's squad from one that might be mistaken for a retirement home's to a younger one that's brimming with talent. Loans for Felixian goalkeeper Marcela Guadarrama and New Cloudsdale's teenage sphinx sensation Decima were both incredibly well-received by supporters that have often been critical of the manager, as was the purchase of Francisco Tlatenchi, a young defender who has been making waves in Legalese as a potential future international star. After long boasting one of the United League's oldest rosters, Everfree Forest now has one of its youngest, with a handful of experienced former internationals to offer leadership and advice to the younger players. It may still be a few years before the club's rabid fans finally reap the rewards, but the future is certainly bright for Everfree Forest. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 9th in United League

Fillydelphia HC
Manager:

Blistering Glaze
Home Stadium: Filly Financial Stadium (cap. 47,950) in Fillydelphia, Equestrian States
Last Season: 11-8-19 (16th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

High Winds from

Manechester United for $1.4 million
Starting Players (4-3-3):

Sandy Shores (GK, #1);

Hammerclaw (DF, #6);

Glowing Mane (DF, #2);

Gorri Zabarte (DF, #4);

Stinger (DF, #5);

Coconut (MF, #3);

Goldilocks (MF, #16);

Tendai (MF, #7);

Milky Way (FW, #10);

High Winds (FW, #9);

Starling (FW, #19)

Free-Falling Fillydelphia Could Face Drop
How the mighty have fallen! Following an incredible third place finish in the United League's inaugural season, things have only gone downhill for Fillydelphia HC, and after last season ended with the club nowhere near a return to the Globe Cup, the board refused to extend Twinkle Shine's contract and replaced the long-time manager with Scoltland City's Blistering Glaze. Supporters were quick to label the appointment a recipe for disaster, with the Crystalline manager hardly well-regarded even in the Second League. With a manager being criticized before a match has even been player and a squad that has been picked apart over the past few seasons, Fillydelphia's future looks bleak and may very well find themselves in the second tier at the start of next season. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 19th in United League; Relegation

Manechester United
Manager:

Hat Trix
Home Stadium: Pony Lands Park (cap. 54,000) in Manechester, Equestrian States
Last Season: 14-9-15 (12th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Elise Belle from

Manechester City HC for $910,000
Starting Players (4-3-3):

Northern Lights (GK, #24);

Pernille Spool (DF, #2);

Apple Bytes (DF, #14);

Haraldr (DF, #3);

Applesong (DF, #8);

Sunstreak (MF, #9);

Autumn Spark (MF, #7);

Starry Night (MF, #15);

Eutimio Salazar (FW, #10);

Cloud Kicker (FW, #12);

Elise Belle (FW, #11)

Manechester Woes Likely to Continue Despite Salazar Success
He might be one of the least popular coaches in the Equestrian States these days, but Manechester United boss Hat Trix can hardly be blamed for his club's recent shortcomings. The Red Diablos have never been able to attract many top-class hoofballers and often see their position on the league table inflated by their manager's cunning, which somewhat makes up for the lack of talent. Thus, last season's purchase of Felixian international Eutimio Salazar must be considered one of the year's top moves as Salazar did more than any other player on the team to get results. With the club's only notable additions being made in the back, the Felixian striker will once again be called upon to provide the team's main goalscoring threat, though Manechester United seems likely to finish mid-table yet again regardless of Salazar's form. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 13th in United League

OOC Note: Preview continued in next post...

Manehattan Dragons
Manager:

Mariner
Home Stadium: Derby Field (cap. 65,000) in Manehattan, Equestrian States
Last Season: 15-9-14 (10th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Orion Comet from

Cloudsdale Flyers on Loan
Starting Players (4-3-3):

Airheart (GK, #1);

Berry Frost (DF, #4);

Cassandra (DF, #3);

Lucas Galhardo (DF, #23);

Kisecawchuck (DF, #2);

Mira Pejić (MF, #8);

Spring Skies (MF, #7);

Cold Foundation (MF, #11);

Orion Comet (FW, #12);

Karmen Matijević (FW, #10);

Farsight (FW, #9)

Mariner Hopes for Continued Improvement
Perhaps one of the most-unappreciated Equestrian managers out there, Mariner has been on the shortlist for recent openings at Ponyville United and Cloudsdale Flyers but will return to lead the Manehattan Dragons for another season after being passed over by a big club once again. The former boss of the Seaddle Sounders and Astograth's Royal Association has often been praised for his ability to get the very best from his players, and even finished third in Astograthian Manager of the Year voting after leading the club, which had widely been expected to be relegated, to a comfortable mid-table finish. Now in charge of the Manehattan Dragons, Mariner has continued to impress by building a squad which can be lethal on the counter. However, the Dragons' lack of defensive talent has proven costly in recent years and forced them to rely upon Airheart, who - while a capable goalkeeper - is hardly as young as she once was and regularly struggles near the end of matches. However, even with a shaky defense, Mariner's ability to maximize his players' potential could allow the Dragons to finish higher than they would otherwise. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 12th in United League

New Cloudsdale Colonists
Manager:

Guiding Light
Home Stadium: Atlantian Coliseum (cap. 39,500) in New Cloudsdale, Equestrian Overseas Territories
Last Season: 7-9-22 (17th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Dylan Stocks from

Straitside FC for an Undisclosed Fee
Starting Players (4-4-2):

Regal Glory (GK, #1);

Rainbow Shine (DF, #2);

Dylan Stocks (DF, #5);

Diamondheart (DF, #3);

Maelstrom (DF, #4);

Constance (MF, #12);

Golden Chance (MF, #11);

Gleaming Light (MF, #9);

Reyan (MF, #13);

Coinstack (FW, #10);

Dark Star (FW, #7)

Post-Decima New Cloudsdale Targets Survival
Despite selling teenage phenom striker Decima to Ponyville United before last season after a deal with Iturributa United collapsed along with Iturributa, the New Cloudsdale Colonists managed to survive a mediocre first season in the United League even without their leading striker from the year before. At first it appeared the Colonists would comfortably cruise to survival as they floated around mid-table at the halfway point in the season, but a dreadful second half followed and, despite picking up a paltry 9 points in their final 20 matches, the only club in the top tier from outside the Pony Lands lived to see another season in the United League. With relatively few changes made to last season's squad, most expect New Cloudsdale will improve slightly so long as they avoid another horrible run like last year's season-ending one. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 15th in United League

North Spire HC
Manager:

Sentinel Guard
Home Stadium: Spire Grounds (cap. 31,825) in Crystopolis, Crystal Empire
Last Season: 12-8-18 (15th in United League)
Biggest Transfer:

Methuselah Meeuwessen from

City of Jordan FC for $8.5 million
Starting Players (3-4-3):

Superb Stop (GK, #1);

Blackstone (DF, #2);

Silver Lining (DF, #3);

Braveheart (DF, #14);

Honeycomb (MF, #7);

Methuselah Meeuwessen (MF, #6);

Granite (MF, #11);

Avarda (MF, #9);

Lunar Dawn (FW, #10);

Rapid Rush (FW, #8);

Roxie (FW, #4)

Stagnant Transfer Window Frustrates Northerners
North Spire HC has never been a club to attract much foreign talent, but has instead relied largely upon a superb youth setup and signings from within the Crystal Empire to provide its star players. However, recent seasons have seen a steady decrease in table position for the Northerners, who have watched as local rivals Crystopolis City and top clubs from the Equestrian States have lured many of North Spire's transfer targets from Spire Grounds. Year after year, supporters have called for the club's leadership to look beyond the Pony Lands for new young talents, and this season they finally did, signing Sarian midfielder Methuselah Meeuwessen. But the Northerners' fans remain unhappy with the club, as their roster still lacks any high-profile international stars, which supporters attribute to a lackluster approach to the transfer market by the ownership. Though North Spire regularly performs better than expected, expectations remain low after the Northerners missed the Globe Cup last season for the first time since clubs from the Crystal Empire began participating in UICA competitions. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 14th in United League

Relegation Race Survivors Galaxy Face Tough Season
After the Ponyville Galaxy started last season by amassing just 8 points in their first 21 games, their only wins coming against teams also in the bottom half of the table, most people thought that the Galaxy would be relegated. But a determined late-season comeback by Ponyville's second-largest club ensured their survival by a lone point much to the relief of the Galaxy's small but loyal base of supporters. In the off-season, the signing of former Equestrian international Good Oats from Appleoosa was seen as a brilliant move by manager Red Dwarf; but just a few days later supporters' excitement was quelled by the sale of promising young midfielder Dizzy Doo, who fans had hoped to hang onto for another year. While the acquisition of Good Oats' experience in back will be of benefit to the club, hanging onto capped Equestrian U21 striker Archer might just save the Galaxy, who struggled to score last season, from relegation this year. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 16th in United League

Equestrian Titans Look to Reclaim United League Crown
New Ponyville United manager Simon Jewel may not have had enough time to make any new signings after he was hired to replace the legendary Moon Dust at the helm of the Equestrian States' hoofball juggernaut, but he inherits an extremely talented squad with no shortage of international experience. Thanks to Crystopolis City being plundered by foreign clubs after the Crystal Empire's top club dethroned the Equestrian giants that have largely dominated the United League since its founding and were kings of the old Equestrian Premier League long before that, Ponyville United are once again favorites to win the league. However, with stars Fire Dash and Starlight Sparkle entering the twilight of their careers, Jewel will need to keep his eye open for future replacements while at the same time guiding the club to what supporters hope will be a fourth United League title. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 1st in United League; Champions' Cup

Lewis Keenan Takes on Another Challenge
For the second straight season, Nephraim manager Lewis Keenan will take over a recently-promoted Equestrian club that isn't expected to survive more than a season in the United League. Though once regulars in the United League and the Equestrian Premier League before that, the Seaddle Sounders haven't been the same since former manager Mariner sprung at the opportunity to manage in the Astrograthian league. Shortly after Mariner's departure, the Sounders were relegated and promptly forced to sell most of their remaining stars who were understandably uninterested in plying their trade in the Second League. Few players remain from the old Sounders team, and Lewis Keenan will face another challenge after Manechester City were relegated last season despite his best efforts to steer them clear of the drop. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 20th in United League; Relegation

Southwind HC
Manager:

Spitshine
Home Stadium: Starlight Stadium (cap. 36,750) in South Bend, Crystal Empire
Last Season: 15-12-11 (9th in United League)

Spitshine Irritated by Southwind's Financial Struggles
Southwind might have the Crystal Empire's most talented team, aside from Crystopolis City of course, but that squad may not last much longer according to manager Spitshine. Lashing out at the board's tight financial restrictions, the long-time Strikers manager felt her efforts to add top-notch players to the team were hindered by a small transfer budget that forced her to release several players in order to make space on the payroll for new signings. Rumors have been swirling over the last couple years about the club potentially being sold and Spitshine has recently criticized the club's ownership for not investing in a club that they might be selling. However, regardless of Southwind's current financial instability, Spitshine remains confident in her squad moving forward, though another mid-table finish seems likely this season. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 11th in United League; Globe Cup

Stalliongrad HC
Manager:

Diamond Star
Home Stadium: Diamond Park (cap. 75,000) in Stalliongrad, Equestrian States
Last Season: 19-7-12 (7th in United League)

Stalliongrad Eyes Globe Cup Return
After being edged out of the Equestrian States' final Globe Cup berth by the Whitetail Foresters on head-to-head goal differential last season, there's no question as to what Stalliongrad's goal is this season. Manager Diamond Star's additions of Werner Mittlestadt and Eugene Jang to a squad that was already a patchwork of promising youngsters and experienced international veterans were welcomed by supporters as a sign of intent to improve upon last year's disappointing season. A determined and highly ambitious team with a long-term goal of winning the United League, Stalliongrad appears to be ready to stage a comeback this season and return to the Globe Cup despite what should be another incredibly tight race for the final couple Equestrian berths in the competition. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 6th in United League; Globe Cup

Trottingham Pirates
Manager:

Starfire
Home Stadium: Pirate Bowl (cap. 51,650) in Trottingham, Equestrian States
Last Season: 12-12-14 (14th in United League)
Biggest Transfer: None
Starting Players (4-4-2):

Trottingham Turmoil May Prove Crippling
Just two short seasons since finishing in the top six for the second straight year, the Trottingham Pirates find themselves not in the discussion of potential Globe Cup contenders, but among those that might be relegated at the end of the season. With manager Alex Richards inexplicably being sacked after just one bad season following years of success, the players are publicly coming out in opposition to the surprising move. Meanwhile, new manager Starfire, formerly employed by the Cloudsdale Colts, has to deal with a disgruntled locker room that was never particularly stable in the first place. While the Pirates may have a reasonably talented squad, their chemistry is practically non-existent and transfer restrictions imposed on Starfire due to the club's failure to retain a Globe Cup berth last season hardly did the new boss any favors. While they may have the quality other squads lack, the Trottingham Pirates simply don't look like a team at the moment and, unless things change soon, may be relegated just three seasons after finishing fourth in the league. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 18th in United League; Relegation

Whitetail Foresters
Manager:

Dreamy Skies
Home Stadium: Shady Grove (cap. 43,650) in Whitetail, Equestrian States
Last Season: 18-10-10 (6th in United League)

Foresters' Look to Build Upon Incredible Season
As stunning as the recent falls of clubs like the Trottingham Pirates and Fillydelphia HC have been, the meteoric ascent of the Whitetail Foresters through the United League ranks has been perhaps even more shocking. Promoted to the United League just four seasons ago after a long absence from the top flight, the Foresters simply held onto their place in the league in their first season back at the highest level of Equestrian hoofball. The following season, the club from the quiet forested city of Whitetail moved up the table to 12th; and finally, last season, the Foresters took the United League by storm and finished sixth, earning the final Equestrian Globe Cup berth at the expense of tournament regulars Stalliongrad. This season, the core players that made up last year's dynamic squad all return, with the addition of Dizzy Doo from the Ponyville Galaxy being viewed as a coup by most experts. The Whitetail Foresters will undoubtedly be contenders yet again for a Globe Cup berth, though the inexperience of some of the team's younger players might prevent the Foresters from retaining their spot in the competition. Steve McNotapony’s Prediction: 8th in United League

Puppet of Coconutstan
Globe Cup: Hellhole Valladars

OOC Note: Due to Coconutstan being the primary association behind this, the slots were allocated to it, making the Al Ibhad and Cocoville Crushers, as well as two others in brackets qualifying for the CC or GC.

At the same time, Hellhole didn’t qualify for the Champions’ Cup and the Hellhole Death-Abeltfecos Blizzard, whom placed 2nd-4th in the league, placed teams didn’t qualify for the Globe Cup due to TUE's status as a puppet association. Thus, with TUE being the third association owned by the user behind it, Hellhole Valladars were the only ones left to qualify for UICA.

IC Note: The mixup in things was that the 2nd-5th placers(the ones without spots), all from TUE, got disqualified from participating in UICA competitions due to a massive scandal involving its gambling and weapon trades circles. Their spots were instead used to other teams from Coconutstan join the UICA competitions due to their sporting merits by being the top 2 or 4 from Coconutstan.

The Euran Football Association’s Euraleague
Recap on Season 20

After Spartangrad just about outdid Falourr in the Charity Shield, Ulsa dominated the league just like last season. However this time there would be no late title charge from another team as Ulsa made up for the last near miss with a decisive title win. The performances of a revitalised Chris Waller, of their midfield in general and particularly of Craig Sinclair and Michael Tello transformed their title challenge into a comfortable canter, with Tello winning the Golden Boot with 28 goals. Directus finished seven points off the pace in second, meaning no silverware for Michael Robertson in his last season, but they played well throughout and Maas Fox had another superb season. However they suffered from lacking a striker as potent as Tello, as Ildar Patrelyak seems to have passed his peak, though he still managed to score 14 league goals. Revolutionaries and Spartangrad both fell short too, but made the Champions Cup places.

Holdenberg and Bastion both had to settle for Globe Cup places, though the latter managed to also win the National Cup as their revival continues, beating Spartangrad 3-2 thanks to an extra time goal from veteran Felix Saarinen. AFC Mayville surprised everyone by slipping into Globe Cup qualification thanks to the efforts of Charlie Brady and others. Brigham fell down the table a bit but still managed a convincing finish to their season as did Falourr and Oakstone, while Lajuno endured another mediocre finish in 11th. The bottom half was quite congested but likely relegation candidates Marketville and Whitepill managed to avoid relegation, at the expense of Suttonville, Thagarnia, and Holdenberg City, who will be frustrated to have finished bottom. Hornchurch avoided being dragged in almost solely thanks to the efforts of Michael Simpson, the young Euran striker who enjoyed his breakthrough season, scoring 19 top flight goals.

Season 21 Preview

AFC MAYVILLE
Manager: Nicky Moore (54, Eura)
Stadium: Langham Stadium (Mayville, 44,000)
Key Players: Reece Coleman, Olman Reedwater, Joey Walton, Matt Edding, Tim Curren, Anders Kleppner, Harry Higgins, Jude Yates, Ethan Dixon, Jay Goodwin, Miles MacDonald.
In: Jay Goodwin (25, ST, Eura) from Holdenberg City for £3.5m.
Out: Charlie Brady (30, ST, Eura) to Pradera FC (Valladares) for £18m.

AFC Mayville might have lost their star player, but they’ll be laughing their way to the bank. After a superb season secured them an unexpected Globe Cup qualifying spot, they’ve managed to keep their squad intact with almost the same side that kept them up only four seasons ago. The major loss to them is their superb late blooming striker Charlie Brady, who they’ve managed to get £18m for at age 30. They’ve got another good striker in Miles MacDonald, and now have brought in a replacement for Brady, Jay Goodwin, for a fraction of what Brady was sold for. There should be little doubt that Brady is an exceptional player and a big loss, but unless their goalscoring tally drops massively then Nicky Moore has done good business.

BASTION
Manager: John Greaves (44, Eura)
Stadium: Bastion Arena (Bastion, 110,000)
Key Players: Tyler Coleman, Robert Morgan, Isner, Dennis Munro, Rhys West, Andima Etchaleku
Gaizka Omaexevarria, Will Andrews, Alan Dabix, Eye Barsa, Miroslav Janda, John Mallard, Julius Carrera, Felix Saarinen.
In: Gaizka Omaexevarria (22, CB/CDM, Audioslavia) from Cazadores Cathair (Audioslavia) for £18m.
Out: N/A

Since he took over as Bastion boss full time, John Greaves has overseen a steady and solid revival for Bastion which now has them as at least Champions Cup contenders, with a decent squad. That squad has been overhauled over the course of four years, and the patience of the Bastion ownership and fans has paid off it seems as the once unfancied Greaves takes his side to new heights. Felix Saarinen now may be 36 and an impact sub, but the now secure front line of John Mallard and Julius Carrera is a potent one, even if Bastion were disappointed not to resign their former star man Skorji Oslograd. Their foreign back line of the two Syndicatians who were once considered a joke and the unlikely centreback pairing of Murno and Isner has finally bore fruit, looking relatively stable last season.

Yet the midfield has remained a constant area of worry, though now they appear to have solved it. Miroslav Janda may not be a long term prospect at left wing but Andima Etchaleku continues to defy the collapse of Iturributan football and perform well, while the midfield two of the superb Sameban Alan Dabix and young Euran defensive midfielder Will Andrews impressed last season. With Eye Barsa on the verge of retirement, they have decided to strengthen both their midfield and defence with the signing of Audioslavian prodigy Gaizka Omaexevarria. The 22 year old can play both defensive midfield and centreback, and will likely spend his first season competing with both Andrews and Munro. Anything less than Globe Cup qualification this season will be seen as regression, but winning the title is not a condition on which the manager’s job depends. His extra-time capture of the National Cup last season has satiated the need for silverware.

BRIGHAM
Manager: Danny Granger (45, Eura)
Stadium: Old Ham Lane (Brigham, 76,409)
Key Players: Mason Blake, Jake Mayer, Michael Adell, David Smith, Alfie Birch, Thomas Kay, Hakan Abt, Karl Cotrell, Wolcjeck Gruber, Danny Sullivan, James Brecon.
In: N/A
Out: N/A

All is quiet on the Brigham front. Despite finishing agonisingly short of Globe Cup qualification, Brigham have failed to invest further in their squad, though Danny Granger hasn’t left which gives the impression he’s content with his squad. He hasn’t lost anyone at least. The performances of David Smith of Sicoutimont, Karl Kotrell, Wolcjeck Gruber, Danny Sullivan and former Revolutionaries frontman James Brecon will all have to improve slightly for them to push themselves into UICA qualification.

DIRECTUS
Manager: Tom Benedict (50, Eura)
Stadium: Castle Road (Directus, 95,000)
Key Players: Carl Brommis, Fabio Quella, Craig Gilbert, Derek Millson, Andrew Watson, Spencer Greenwood, Olle Pranich, Michael Brandon, Glenn Anderson, Stanislav Navratil, Maas Fox, Ildar Patrelyak, Lucas Valdez, Felipe Ebenezer
In: Lucas Valdez (23, AM/ST, Valladares) from Nacional (Valladares) for £21m, Olle Pranich (21, RW, Semarland) from Krsthaven (Semarland) for £4.5m plus a player, Felipe Ebenezer (19, ST, Northern Sunrise Islands) from Porto Alegre State University (NSI) for free.
Out: Michael Robertson (37, CB, Eura) retired, Isaac Holt (18, CM/RM, Eura) to Krsthaven on a season long loan.

Tom Benedict’s gradual turnover of the Directus has been ongoing for nearly five seasons, and yet during that time they have consistently challenged for and won silverware. Benedict’s continued achievement has made him a favourite for the Eura job, though given the significance of one of his summer signings he doesn’t plan on going anywhere. His defence is sorted, despite the retirement of Euran great Michael Robertson. His midfield is nothing to scoff at; the consistent Glenn Anderson and the arguably world class Sideburnese captain Michael Brandon make up the middle, with wonderkid Maas Fox tearing apart defenders in attacking midfield. On the left Navratil might be past his peak but is still a formidable player, while Spencer Greenwood has held his own at this level on the right, and will now be pushed to perform even better by new signing Olle Pranich.

However, what Directus have been lacking is a consistent striker as in the past few seasons Ildar Patrelyak’s form and temperament have fluctuated. Last season he scored a fairly mediocre 14 league goals. To solve this they spent big on another striker from Valladares, which seems to be all the rage at the moment, to counter compatriot and Ulsa striker Michael Tello. Directus opted for Nacional striker and attacking midfielder Lucas Valdez, the 23 year old costing them £21m – the most expensive transfer of an unusually quiet transfer window. They’ve also brought in 19 year old striker Felipe Ebenezer, a long term competitor or possibly strike partner, secured on a free transfer from Porto Alegre State University in his native Northern Sunrise Islands. Now anything less than a title challenge will be a failure for Directus.

FALOURR
Manager: Reggie Yarmouth (43, Eura)
Stadium: Sandstone Ground (60,000)
Key Players: Tony Grant, Buck Manning, Manuele Provenza, Levi Andetel, Anthony Cotra, Charles Hunter, John Lloyd, Luke Mistry, Toby Hayes, Robin Tykeman, Sean Hayward.
In: Manuele Provenza (29, CB, Felix) from Altomare (Felix) for £8m.
Out: Matt Maher (33, CB, Eura) to Usmer for £900k.

The only transfer activity of the summer for Falourr was replacing the journeyman defender Matt Maher, who you now feel is at the end of his run in football. They’ve taken a risk by replacing him with Manuele Provenza, a Felixian international player unproven at this sort of level and already 29, for as much as £8m. Rumour has it that the Felixian club had to actually be talked down from an astronomical fee. Time will tell whether this was a wise choice or not, and I suspect Falourr will be happy with a finish in the upper half of mid table.

FARRENTON ATHLETIC
Manager: Thomas Mann (45, Eura)
Stadium: Pignot Stadium (Farrenton, 70,000)
Key Players: Ryan Jones, Adam Walsh, Hayden Fisher, Moe Spencer, Jonathan Bishop, Scott Barnes, Josh Caig, Fraser Vaughan, Eugene Sabattini, Ben Robinson, Phil Gulliver
In: N/A
Out: N/A

Farrenton’s defence last season was aptly described by the premier local paper, the Gazette; “awful”, “gutless” and “failure”. Farrenton’s front line strength managed to be overwhelmed by an awful performance at the back last season. However Farrenton failed to improve over the summer, and if their wingers and strikers and captain Fraser Vaughan fail to perform, then they’ll be in serious trouble.

HARKDOWN
Manager: Ross Browning (50, Eura)
Stadium: OpTiiK Arena (Harkdown, 55,600)
Key Players:
In: Tom Frost (25, LB, Eura) from Suttonville for £5m.
Out: N/A

Ross Browning, former veteran Euraleague striker, is now at the helm in Harkdown and has earned them a return to the top flight. Keeping them there may be difficult however. They have a very thin squad which was not expected to achieve promotion last season, and Harkdown don’t have the money to bring in new players other than squad filler. In the unlikely event that they survive, they will surely have four players to thank; defenders Tom Frost, signed expensively from Suttonville, and Joe Newton, plus veteran midfielder and striker Hayden Roberts and Logan Sammon. They will do well to finish higher than anyone other than Foxhampton.

FOXHAMPTON
Manager: Sebastian Young (68, Eura)
Stadium: Hampton Court (Foxhampton, 28,000)
Key Players: David Pope, Darren Pritchard, Prisco Milanesi, Joel Ryan
In: N/A
Out: N/A

His name might be Young, but the Foxhampton boss certainly isn’t youthful. At 68 he admits he is near retirement, but the career defining achievement of this young journeyman is to get Foxhampton into the big time. They were non-league not long ago and now they have their chance to make a big mark on Euraleague, albeit it will likely be a brief mark, one defined by a number of thrashings. Still, they’ll hope that their few truly talented players, particularly highly rated striker Joel Ryan, can give them a few memorable victories.

HOLDENBERG
Manager: Simon Neeson (39, Eura)
Stadium: Benedict Lane (Holdenberg, 74,869)
Key Players: Dimitar Brandt-Caledon, Gary Prior, Aaron Brandley, Charlie Harris, Bradley Francis, Lee Myers, Alexey Tatarchuk, Roman Mayalla, Charlie Fuller, Pablo Dohi, Keith Rowland
In: N/A
Out: N/A

It’s a brand new season for Holdenberg, and after the retirement of their old manager, there is a new boss in town. Step up Simon Neeson, the former goalkeeper who retired from playing just two years ago and has been groomed for a coaching role for several years. Neeson faces a challenging season ahead as Holdenberg continue to fight the odds to make the top four. Holdenberg have a well balanced team with a superb young goalkeeper, a talented midfield, two brilliant forwards and a solid defence. They are in a good position to push on despite not adding any depth over the summer.

HONEYBADGERS
Manager: Luke Thomas (43, Eura)
Stadium: The Hive (Directus, 62,107)
Key Players: Rick Connors, Jeffrey Douglas, Alex Bashley, Ryan Collins, Dylan Kirby, Lee McKray, Joan Cruft, Andy Hope, Vince Padovesi, Brandon Short, Callum Howard, Dominik Davidenko, Michael Sarado
In: Andy Hope (27, CDM/CM, Eura) from Holdenberg City for £2.2m.
Out: Grant Townsend (33, CB, Eura) from Honeybadgers to Isla Town FC (Nova Anglicana) for £1.5m.

The slide of Honeybadgers from a once promising position has been very obvious, and their new boss Luke Thomas – incoming from being a free agent – will hope to arrest that slide. He’s got rid of the dead weight of Grant Townsend and has brought in depth in midfield in the form of Andy Hope. They’ll be hoping to move further up midtable this season, especially if their new youth graduate Dylan Kirby can come good at centre back.

HORNCHUCH
Manager: Gordon Mevitt (42, Eura)
Stadium: Walter Avenue (Hornchurch, 56,392)
Key Players: Kondrat Istomin, Tim Small, Stuart Albright, Bryan Butler, Asey Vella, Jeb Huddlestone, Chris Peters, Nigel Kersey, Giovanni Acuna, Noel Carpenter, Blake Carter, Liam Carling, Arnljótur Juran, Michael Simpson
In: Noel Carpenter (26, CM, Eura) from Thagarnia for £2.3m, Arnljótur Juran (27, ST, The Fallenmark Islands) from Marylebone Invicta (TFI) for £500k.
Out: N/A

Hornchurch have suffered for a few seasons from a mediocre back line, a midfield lacking talent apart from Fraser Vaughan who is now gone, and little investment. What they have had in that time however is a good front line of Liam Carling and Michael Simpson. However with their increasingly thin midfield and Carling getting old, they’ve been forced to move to prevent themselves becoming relegation candidates. They’ve brought in Noel Carpenter, a decent midfielder from Thagarnia but nothing special, and the first Fallenmark Islands player to play in Euraleague. Arnljótur Juran will likely want to become a long term replacement for Liam Carling, though it’s unlikely much will be expected from him, having come from such a small league.

LAJUNO
Manager: Fred Warner (50, Eura)
Stadium: Lansbury Road (Lajuno, 62,000)
Key Players: Roman Ayebler, Tomas Svensen, Alan Fotheringham, Declan Hosking, Thiago Fuchs, Christian Sanchez, Brendan Crawford, Conor Thompson, Joe Robel, Joel Sutton, Jordan Jarvis
In: N/A
Out: Richard Lockhart (35, LAM, Eura) retired.

There was a moment of sadness for Lajuno in the summer as Richard Lockhart retired, but perhaps they should realise now that they’ve got bigger worries. Despite having what is on paper one of the best starting elevens outside of the big teams, they could only manage a paltry 11th last season and it appears the wind has finally been taken out of their sales. Although they have a very good goalkeeper their two rocks at centre back are near retirement, Thiago Fuchs is a mediocre leftback and Thomas Svensen has never fulfilled his potential. Their midfield is similarly hit and miss, though Joe Robel continues to defy his international critics with his domestic performances, and Joel Sutton is a promising young talent. Jordan Jarvis will be their only hope of finishing near UICA qualification.

MARKETVILLE
Manager: Robert Reid (Daera, 55)
Stadium: The Maw (Marketville, 42,000)
Key Players: Joseph Tafti, Jonathan Andreyso, William Kelly, Pierce Williams, Morgan Farmer, Joseph O'Haine, Maurice Arcuri, Cameron Winton
In: Pierce Williams (17, LB, Eura) and Joseph O’Haine (16, CM, Eura) from Project 90+ Eura for free.
Out: Sterling Rose (19, CDM, Eura) to Cazadores Cathair (Audioslavia) for £6.5m.

Marketville just about avoided relegation and will be hoping to repeat that feat again this year. Yet they have barely strengthened with the exception of a couple of youth players, and with the sale of wonderkid Sterling Rose they have lost the key cog in their midfield machine. They look like strong favourites for the drop this time round.

OAKSTONE
Manager: Gareth Red (52, Eura)
Stadium: The Oak House (Oakstone, 82,402)
Key Players: Gary Shudland, Dario Ragili, Richie Wallins, Henry Gibson, Karl Wallace, Rudy Valencia, Noah Bryan, Toño Morsón, Pierrhe Rossi, Mitchell Mowbry, Pola Grabnyak, Frank Cardle
In: N/A
Out: N/A

Here comes another team with little summer activity to talk about. Oakstone are a quality team, but they’ll need more depth if they want to push harder for Globe Cup football.

REVOLUTIONARIES
Manager: Lucas Morton (50, Eura)
Stadium: Sasky Rising Memorial Stadium (Brigham, 107,000)
Key Players: Ben Prince, Joe Caffin, Eamon Power, Morten Salo, Mark Rogers, Niels Kruse, Kevin Colbert, Gareth Blackthorn, John Spartan, Gabi, Skorji Oslograd, Liam Allen, Amable Deniau
In: Skorji Oslograd (33, ST, Eura) from FC Axel Heiburg (Polar Islandstates) for £3m.
Out: Nick Feeney (36, RB, Eura) retired.

Despite the retirement of club and national legend Nick Feeney, Revolutionaries must be anticipating this new season highly. They have a class goalkeeper in Ben Prince, and a firm back line of Caffin, Salo, Rogers and Kruse, with the latter now looking formidable as part of the Polarian national set up. Their midfield is world class, and up front they have two ageing but world class strikers in Oslograd, returning to Eura but not to Bastion to the shock of many, as well as the very good Liam Allen who will surely be the one of the three to start consistently. It could be a four way title race between them, Ulsa, Directus and Spartangrad.

SPARTANGRAD
Manager: Clark Robinson (55, Eura)
Stadium: Olympic Stadium (Spartangrad, 104,773)
Key Players: Andy Quinn, Weylon Churchilli, Rhys Gibbons, Alexsandr Lyngstrad, Alexandr Savitskiy, Armando Elevado, Császár Mór, Severin Haraldsson, Mike Adams, Lewis Hughes, Victor Larsen, Scott Bloomfield
In: Scott Bloomfield (16, CF, Eura) from Project 90+ Eura for free.
Out: Sam Thomas (35, CF, Eura) to Metropolis Alligators (Valladares) for free.

Spartangrad secured Champions Cup qualification comfortably last season, but their title challenge faltered early. Now they go on, but this time without club legend Sam Thomas, who appears to have decided to take a one or two season end of career stroll in Valladares before retiring. The all-time Goldleague top scorer will be sorely missed, but the deadly Polarian Victor Larsen and his new understudy Scott Bloomfield will be more than enough to soften the blow.

ULSA
Manager: Albert Osman (68, Eura)
Stadium: Troutbridge (Ulsa, 97,460)
Key Players: Chris Waller, Gareth Dawkins, Gavin Madison, Frank Ainsworth, Lyle Heath, Lukasz Urfstadt, Rob Bell, Luis Aldardo, Rubén Morantes, Ryan King, Craig Sinclair, Michael Tello
In: Frank Ainsworth (19, CB, Eura) from Suttonville for £7m.
Out: N/A

It is no secret that Albert Osman is preparing to retire before long, after bagging his most dominant title win yet last season. He won’t go yet though, and they’ve already found a ready made replacement for someone who will retire soon. Lyle Heath appeared to reach his breaking point at the World Cup over the summer and it seems he is being phased out in favour of new defender Frank Ainsworth, a hard man in the mould of Grant Davis who broke through for Suttonville last season. They are clear title favourites.

USMER
Manager: Billy Welsh (51, Eura)
Stadium: Ludvik Ring (Usmer, 69,492)
Key Players: Evan Sanders, Matt Maher, Reece Hanson, Alfie Wallace, Brandon Bartlett, Leo Hargreaves, George Davies
In: Evan Sanders (31, GK, Eura) from Suttonville for £3.5m, Matt Maher (33, CB, Eura) from Falourr for £900k, Patrick May (30, ST, Helving) from Usmer for £250k.
Out: N/A

After bouncing back as Silver League champions last season, Usmer have gone to great lengths to ensure they don’t end up straight back where they came from. Sanders, Maher and May are all in their thirties but are solid Gold League level players. They’re expected to be relegated, but one suspects they might just stay up.

WHITEPILL
Manager: Mason Ingram (48, Eura)
Stadium: White Coast Road (Whitepill, 28,830)
Key Players: Greg Bramson, Jesus Reyes, Nick Leather, Pedro Corrigan, David Johnstone, Charles Owens, Dale Huxtable
In: N/A
Out: N/A

It is quite surprising that Whitepill haven’t bought anyone over the summer given that they narrowly avoided relegation last season, but then it’s likely they’ve been investing the money in club facilities as they always do when they pop up in to the Goldleague for a short stint. Won’t achieve anything more than battling to survive.

WORKERS UNION
Manager: Jaroslav Masaryk (40, Mytannion)
Stadium: Workers Athletic Achievement Stadia for Make Benefit of People (Callodown, 80,000)
Key Players: Alexander Roudet, Brian Marner, Massimo Dini, Ed Hill, Daniel Callorca, Reece Kent
Bernd Gloeckner, Freddie Nolan, Colin Nelson, Nick Ward, Isaac Grant
In: Freddie Nolan (19, CM/CAM, Eura) from Dashturnbein for £5.3m, Reece Kent (23, RW, Eura) from Thagarnia for £4m.
Out: Djourou Calaga (37, CDM, Eura) retired, Mason Oliver (33, AM, Eura) retired.

Every year, Workers Union seem like a team with the potential to be great, but ultimately only ever achieves a lower mid table finish, or fights to stave off relegation. This season, they really are an unknown quality. Roudet is a superb goalkeeper, but their defence is unbalanced albeit experienced. Their midfield has received nearly £10m of investment in the form of Reece Kent and risky signing Freddie Nolan, but it lacks pace. Their front line is proven, but overly reliant on Grant. Who knows how they will do this season.

CHARITY SHIELD XXI

ULSA 2 - 0 BASTION
Tello 19, King 36

Ulsa won the Charity Shield comfortably at Castle Road, beating the newly revived Bastion with two first half goals. Michael Tello got started on mauling the defences of the Gold League early with a 19th minute strike, before Ryan King secured the result with a tap in from a ball into the box by Morantes.

“Northeastern Atlantian Oceania's BEST Independent Association Football!”
Season 17 · 95X Year 59

MD Details are coming soon.

In an interesting twist of fate, Xi Foureleven and the rest of SC Oceanside were playing catch-up until taking the top of the standings in MD 28. Oceanside Stadium II opened to a capacity crowd of 40,000 to begin the season; the crowd watched Oceanside play to a 2-2 draw with the Spatula City Utensils. SC Oceanside lost to SC Cascadia 3-1 on MD19, revenge would be had the last day of the season as Oceanside knocked SC Cascadia back 5-1.

The Mitchell Twins qualify for the Globe Cup despite missing the SLX Playoffs, raising the question in 95X as to whether the playoffs should be expanded or scrapped entirely.

The Port Chester Ladybugs, who were discovered as running a second set of books, traded or sold most of its lineup to other SLX teams, and two internationally, to satisfy SLX requirements to bring team payroll to a level they could afford and recieve emergency financing to continue operations.

Equestrian States (EQS) final site bids
Champions' Cup 56: Royal Equestria Stadium, Canterlot (capacity 98,625)
Not far from the traditional home of the Equestrian States' government, Royal Equestria Stadium is one of the newest sports venues in the nation and can seat nearly 100,000 ponies with standing room for thousands more. Built to replace the aging Equestria Dome as the official home of the national teams, Royal Equestria Stadium is a reflection of the country, truly representing its traditions, natural beauty, and modernity. With a roof of magically-sculpted crystal, the stadium is awe-inspiring in its grandeur and has allowed the Equestrian States to show its most appealing side to the rest of the world. Royal Equestria Stadium has hosted a number of major events, including the 57th Cup of Harmony final, the 67th World Cup third place match, the 29th Di Bradini Cup final, the 21st World Cup of Hockey finals, and the annual United Cup final.

Globe Cup 53: Elements Stadium, Ponyville (capacity 48,750)
Ponyville might not look like a commercial hub, but the city's traditional town-like architecture hides its true status. Pleasant is the best word to describe Ponyville and its citizens, and the seamless incorporation of modern technology and conveniences allows visitors to feel at ease when in town. Centrally-located between Canterlot, Everfree, Manehattan, and (to a degree) Cloudsdale, the city also serves as a transportation hub, thriving on the Equestrian States' booming tourism industry. Elements Stadium itself is named after the Elements of Harmony, the guiding principles of the majority faith of the nation: Harmonism. Visiting fans often enjoy the stadium's central position alongside the crystal-clear Mane River, not far from some of Ponyville's largest and nicest hotels, which have seen extensive use when Elements Stadium hosted the 43rd Globe Cup final between Liria Prizren and Raynor City United as well as numerous matches during the 67th World Cup and 57th Cup of Harmony.

Cygnus Cup 31: Wild Grounds, Everfree (capacity 56,500)
To foreign visitors Everfree might seem just like any of the world's jungle cities (albeit with a large population of non-humans), but for Equestrians it's the strangest place in the country. Surrounded by the dense Everfree Forest for which it is named, the city of Everfree boasts the largest population of non-equines of any Equestrian city, and is home to a sizable community of humans. Elsewhere in the Equestrian States, the pegasi weather ponies control the clouds and weather patterns of the nation, allowing Equestrian farmers to take advantage of optimal conditions for agriculture. But in the Everfree Forest, the weather is nigh unpredictable and difficult to predict. Added to the presence of countless predatory creatures, the Forest is a forbidding place for ponies. Humans and other non-equine sapients were less afraid of the Everfree's bizarre weather patterns (though the hydras and manticores were still a deterrent) and ventured into the Forest, eventually stumbling upon a clearing which evolved into the modern city of Everfree. Wild Grounds itself is appropriately named, being home to the ever-so-slightly crazed supporters of Everfree Forest HC and located near the very edges of the Forest itself. With a breathtaking view of the city, Wild Grounds offers one of the best atmospheres for hoofball in the country.

Crystal Empire (CRY) final site bids
Series B Champions' Cup 53 & Youth Cup 8: Imperial Arena, Crystopolis (capacity 69,740)
Located adjacent to the towering Crystal Palace, Imperial Arena was constructed shortly after the Crystal Empire reappeared to the north of Magical Equestria as a part of the nation's bid to host the Equestria Games. In the decade or so since the Games were held, many other sports competitions have taken place in the Empire's largest stadium and several prominent local hoofball clubs have also taken up residence, including Globe Cup 47 quarterfinalists Crystopolis City. A multipurpose indoor venue, Imperial Arena's main field is encircled by a track, somewhat limiting the seating of supporters, though additional accommodations will be added to reduce the distance separating the fans from the field. Additionally, it should be noted that pickaxes, hammers, chisels, and other tools brought into the Crystal Empire will be confiscated and checked upon entry to the nation as stealing chunks of the Empire's predominantly crystal architecture is generally frowned upon by the local authorities.

Eura (EUR) final site bids
Champions Cup: Sasky Rising Memorial Stadium, Brigham (capacity 107,000)
Series B Champions Cup: Bastion Arena, Bastion (capacity 110,000)

Champions Cup Final Hosting Bid
Sasky Rising Memorial Stadium

In a historic move, the Euran Football Association has permitted the Sasky Rising Memorial Stadium to become the first Euran stadium to bid to host a major international final other than the Bastion Arena. That bid is for the Champions Cup, the most prestigious club competition in the world, and if the bid is successful then this will be the second occasion that the Champions Cup final has been hosted in Eura. Like the first time in Bastion, there is no doubt that such an occasion would be a success.

The SRMS, or "The Sasky" as fans have affectionately nicknamed it, is the second biggest sporting venue in Eura, and the biggest in the city of Brigham, despite the 76,409 seat Old Ham Lane nearby. It is most well known for its distinctive old fashioned bowl shape, with a massive concrete superstructure surrounding the oval it forms and a short canopy roof stretching out from the back. Sport was first played on this site over a century and a half ago with the formation of Brigham Workers Football Club, which eventually became Revolutionaries, one of Eura's most iconic teams. The stadium was gradually expanded for years despite damage during a war or two, before achieving its distinctive current state nearly half a century ago. Since then it has been expanded further, and now it seats a massive 107,000 people.

It may not have the same flawless efficiency of the Bastion Arena due to geography and its development history, but the SRMS is nevertheless an impressive location for hosting major events. It is near the centre of the city of Brigham, one of Eura's megacities and therefore is close to at least two international airports. While traffic conditions are not ideal a park and ride system is available for those who might wish to use it, but that will probably not be necessary as Brigham has world class rail inter connectivity that allows for direct access to the stadium by train straight from the airport or even straight from another large city like Bastion.

Although the stadium's core structure is very old, it nevertheless passes all Euran government safety regulations with some of the highest grades in the country and is fully seated with the exception of a safe standing system behind the goals taking up about 15,000 spaces. It has a high quality pitch which has just been relaid for this season, and plenty of space surrounding it for media and security needs as it has sometimes hosted other sports requiring a larger playing area, though the stands are still very close to the action. Security is tight and provided by an experienced police force which regularly deals with the rowdy Revolutionaries support. Most importantly of all, the atmosphere here is phenomenal, and in the opinion of many unmatched by any other ground in Eura.

The seating allocation will be as follows;

- 45,000 (90,000 combined) seats for each set of fans, segregated in two parts of the stadium, half by half.
- 10,000 seats for neutral supporters, 5,000 of which are required by law to be sold to Euran citizens.
- 5,000 VIP and executive box seats.
- 2,000 seats will be left empty to segregate fans, bringing the total capacity if filled to 105,000 out of 107,000.

Hopefully this will be a momentous occasion for the sponsors, for Revolutionaries, the Euran FA and the Ministry of Sport, who all endorse this bid without equivocation.

Series B Champions Cup Final Hosting Bid
Bastion Arena

The Bastion Arena is one of the world's premier sporting venues. It plays host to a number of sporting and entertainment events on a regular basis, including the Euran giants Bastion, the Euran national team, and Euran domestic cup finals. It has also hosted one of the greatest UICA finals, the 36th Globe Cup final when Neurologists beat Navel Sharks, and more recently it has hosted Jamaica Giants win in the biggest UICA match of all - the Champions Cup final. Now, Bastion intends to add to its already superb resume by hosting the Series B Champions Cup.

The area around the stadium and its primary facilities have changed little and remain in peak condition as they have for both previous finals hosted here. Transport is very good in the area, with many well maintained main roads around it and plentiful parking. Memorial Hill International Airport is nearby, one of Bastion's four international airports, and Bastion Fairways International Airport - perhaps the largest airport in Rushmore - isn't far away by bus or train either. There will be an extensive park and ride system in place and a special temporary train schedule will be sorted out to allow for quick transit to the stadium. The stadium itself has a capacity of 110,000 (it was expanded by 12,000 seats several years ago), and is specifically designed to maximise the amount of playing area available and the visibility of the event to fans. It has world class catering and facilities throughout the ground, as well as 5,000 executive seats and boxes for various VIP's and sporting agencies.

The stadium has a very high quality pitch with an undersoil heating and multi-event capability system, allowing it to be quickly modified for multiple sports - but it serves best as a football pitch, a large one, allowing free flowing, attacking and hopefully injury free play. It also has extensive safety procedures and a government enforced minimum of stewards per game, making it one of the safest grounds in the world. However, its atmosphere is perhaps it’s greatest quality. This stadium concentrates the noise of fans into a passionate atmosphere with its state of the art architecture, which is matched by an impressive lighting and audio suite and large interactive scoreboards.

Several years ago the seating allocation changed, as Bastion Arena's top tier was once again raised and expanded. The capacity has risen now, from 98,000 to 110,000, an expansion of 12,000 seats. The stadium, which was originally built to accommodate 90,000 fans, cannot be expanded beyond its current size without significant redevelopment. This expansion was carried out with this final in mind, though it also important that it remains able to satisfy the needs of the Euran FA for international and domestic football. In other words, it must remain open during the imminent nationwide stadium expansion plan subsidized by the government.

- 43,500 seats for both sets of fans. (87,000 over all.) The two sections of fans will be segregated – one half of the stadium for one set of fans, the other half for the opposition fans.
- 17,500 seats for neutral supporters, 12,500 of which will be guaranteed for Euran citizens.
- 5,000 executive seats for dignitaries and VIP’s, which will be divided appropriately amongst the clubs and other groups.
- 500 seats to remain empty to divide segregated fan sections.

After this success, the Euran FA, Bastion Football Club, B-Arena PLC and the Ministry of Sport are all fully behind Bastion's bid to host yet another UICA final.

The Single-Game Cup: FEATURING TWO TEAMS, ONE GAME, AND TWO QUALIFIERS SO THE GAME DOESN'T ACTUALLY MATTER. Other qualificants picked using a sort of omnibus statistical thing.
Due to a lack of funding and a strike, the Llamanean Soccer League has been put on hold for one year. Sorry!

FC New Llama 3 - 1 FC Vargas

And as such,

Super-Llamaland (SLL) Qualifiers:

Champion's Cup: FC New Llama
Globe Cup: FC Vargas, FC Apple Valley, New Llama Cyclones
Series B Champion's Cup: FC Los Juantos, FC Frayman, FC Southwest, FC Maydale
