Lisen-Korman's first move as LCB's new president was to create a high-performance league. The Alliance was presented right in his first press release, just 2 hours after being elected and sworn in, the new president reported that:

"In the first memorandum issued by the presidency, all registered LCB members received, via registered email, an invitation to join The Alliance. The Alliance will be a professional T20 league. A high-performance league, bringing together the best in Lisander and Alice Bay. In addition, it will be an independent company, coordinated by a professional CEO with prior cricket experience. Let's bring together the best of both worlds, combining work and passion."

With this speech, Lisen-Korman began a stakeholder race for the new league. There were thousands of emails received, with the most varied questions, requests and possibilities. After a few weeks, eight teams were confirmed for the first season, 5 from Alice Bay and 3 from Lisander (see below). These eight teams bought 48% of the league shares (6% each). The other 52% were maintained by LCB itself. Alex Walton, a former Alicean all-rounder with 18 Career Tests, holds a BA in Public Administration from Edellion University, Alice Bay and an MBA in Sports Management from Trinity College, Lisander.

THE ALLIANCE T20 LEAGUE
Season 1*

With the support of sponsors and investors, and despite the time difference between Lisander and Alice Bay (which is 11 hours), the first season of The Alliance took place smoothly during summer of Season 1881. The contrast between the alicean ovals and the Lisander teams playing in temporary stadiums or parks was the most worrying aspect initially, however, planning and cash inflows have helped the teams, especially Linville (who also has a very strong rugby team). and Casterwill (who has a basketball team). The latter already has a small capacity stadium under renovation.

In the field, what was seen was a well-balanced season. With very large squads and local players being valued, 4 of Alice Bay's 5 teams reached postseason. Lions and Casterwill were Lisander qualifiers.

Tristarbank Premiership, Matchday 1-10

Matchday 1
Dawson FC 2–2 Stellar Kasandora
Club Sparta 1–0 Soria Union
AS Virtus 1904 1–2 Racing Club de Soria
AC Kasandora 4–1 Liath Cuain CP
Shamrocks FC 3–2 CA Oeste
FC Solaris Sirenia 3–1 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
Clube Naval de Sendas 3–4 Sporting Club Grandeville

Premiership started with a lot of good surprises. The first SuperDerby of the year between Virtus and Racing in EON Arena (temporary home of Virtus while Estadio dos Arminhos is under renovation) was the most expected game, and the Premiership decided to postpone it to the evening. Luckily for Racing, they won. 1-2 and the small number of Sorians in attendance started the season with lots of confidence. Other interesting results included the win of Club Sparta against the newly promoted Soria Union and the good result of Atletico de Kasandora, scoring 4-1 against Liath Cuain CP.

Matchday 2
Stellar Kasandora 1–3 Sporting Club Grandeville
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 2–3 Clube Naval de Sendas
CA Oeste 1–0 FC Solaris Sirenia
Liath Cuain CP 0–1 Shamrocks FC
Racing Club de Soria 1–1 AC Kasandora
Soria Union 1–0 AS Virtus 1904
Dawson FC 3–1 Club Sparta

The second round saw Soria Union's first home game in the first division in over 40 years. And before Virtus, they didn't waste their chance to make a good result. 1-0 and the greens lost both games against Soria teams. Going further south, Dawson FC beat Sparta 3-1 with goals from Dean Stockport and Julian Dorne. At the end of two rounds, the championship leader is Sporting Grandeville, who went to Ribeira Stadium and beat Stellar Kasandora 3-1. In the Porto Gris Derby, the Shamrocks FC britannians visited and beat the Liath Cuain CP hibernians, 0-1. Liath did not win either of their first two matches and the players were booed off the field at Valera Park.

Matchday 3
Club Sparta 1–2 Stellar Kasandora
AS Virtus 1904 2–0 Dawson FC
AC Kasandora 3–1 Soria Union
Shamrocks FC 1–1 Racing Club de Soria
FC Solaris Sirenia 1–1 Liath Cuain CP
Clube Naval de Sendas 1–0 CA Oeste
Sporting Club Grandeville 2–1 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer

With a modest squad but not yet facing the strongest teams, Sporting Grandeville continue to lead the competition after beating CF Thiéry, which is saving players for Globe Cup, 2-1. Virtus rebounded from a poor result in the previous round, beating Dawson FC at home, 2-0 with goals from Christian Nantel and Saber Neville. AC Kasandora beat Soria Union, and the white boys are finding that the road is not that easy to stay in first division. The surprise of the round was Stellar Kasandora's victory over Club Sparta in Sirenia. It looked like a game won for the Spartans, but William Brax scored at 83 'and reserve goalkeeper Marian Wister hit a header after the corner kick and turned the game at 94'. There was euphoria of the Stellar fans, who for some time has not lived good times.

Matchday 4
Stellar Kasandora 2–2 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
CA Oeste 2–1 Sporting Club Grandeville
Liath Cuain CP 3–1 Clube Naval de Sendas
Racing Club de Soria 0–1 FC Solaris Sirenia
Soria Union 1–1 Shamrocks FC
Dawson FC 2–0 AC Kasandora
Club Sparta 2–2 AS Virtus 1904

The unbeaten has fallen. Sporting Grandeville even tried, but Milo Kapsberg's goal was not enough to stop CA Oeste, who with two goals from Erick Morton, won the second match in the championship. Virtus and Sparta, campaigning below expectations, tied for a big game at Sparta Stadium. Nantel and Arjun Étienne scored for the visitors, while Tássio Camden scored both goals for Sparta. Shamrocks missed the opportunity to take the lead of Sporting Grandeville, drawing 1-1 with Soria Union. Racing stumbled at home against Solaris Sirenia, which also has only a "modest" squad, but also have been doing more than expected.

Matchday 5
AS Virtus 1904 2–1 Stellar Kasandora
AC Kasandora 3–1 Club Sparta
Shamrocks FC 3–0 Dawson FC
FC Solaris Sirenia 1–0 Soria Union
Clube Naval de Sendas 1–0 Racing Club de Soria
Sporting Club Grandeville 2–2 Liath Cuain CP
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 0–1 CA Oeste

CF Thiéry is sinking in the Premiership. While saving players to the Globe Cup the team of the small town on the south coast has suffered setback after setback, and has lost once again against CA Oeste. The Shamrocks did not miss the second result in a row, and in a great performance by Yoann Dawson, who at 30, continues to show potential to return to the national eleven. Good for the team, which now tops the table. Dawson scored two goals and assisted Alex Cavill to make the third. Great performance also by Victor Potenza, who left two goals in Anders Michaelichen's net, in Atletico's 3-1 win against Sparta. The bad results of Sirenia's team continue to worry fans. Are the Spartans so lost without Andreas Wagner? Will they have to get # 3 out of retirement?

Matchday 6
Stellar Kasandora 1–1 CA Oeste
Liath Cuain CP 1–2 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
Racing Club de Soria 2–0 Sporting Club Grandeville
Soria Union 1–0 Clube Naval de Sendas
Dawson FC 1–0 FC Solaris Sirenia
Club Sparta 5–0 Shamrocks FC
AS Virtus 1904 1–3 AC Kasandora

It seems the complaints have taken effect. Sparta received Shamrocks at home with an obligation to win and gave their visitors a real beating. 5-0 with two goals from young Leo Artemon, one from Luis Rosell, one from Tássio Camden, and one from Afonso Heretier. The crowd has lessened their complaints, but ninth place is still not what everyone expects from Sparta. At the top of the table are some amazing names. FC Solaris Sirenia are doing very well, and despite their defeat against Dawson FC, they are still in the qualifying zone for the Globe Cup. Soria Union beat Naval and left behind Stellar Kasandora and Liath Cuain, who lost against " Bleus "by Thiéry in a game between desperate. Stellar, Liath and Thiéry fight not to be in last position. Atletico de Kasandora is going strong and went to Despina, where he defeated Virtus convincingly.

Matchday 7
AC Kasandora 3–2 Stellar Kasandora
Shamrocks FC 1–2 AS Virtus 1904
FC Solaris Sirenia 0–2 Club Sparta
Clube Naval de Sendas 5–0 Dawson FC
Sporting Club Grandeville 4–1 Soria Union
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 1–4 Racing Club de Soria
CA Oeste 1–1 Liath Cuain CP

Local Derbies in Sirenia and Kasandora have had "big" team wins against "small" teams. Atletico beat Stellar (3-2) and Sparta beat Solaris (0-2). The victory leaves the tetracolors three points clear of Sporting Grandeville, who beat Soria Union 4-1. The trio of Hugo Valente, Leon Wiel and Bruno Renvier have been giving the defenders a lot of work. Shamrocks, who lost at home against Virtus and their horrible pink third shirt, missed the opportunity to get closer to the leaders and dropped to sixth on goal difference. Racing went to Thiéry, and blamelessly in the tricky blues situation, won 4-1, entering the qualifying zone for the Globe Cup, to the delight of the fans, who still carry the second division in memory. At the end of the round, a giant result for Naval, who beat Dawson 5-0 and left the danger zone.

Matchday 8
Stellar Kasandora 2–2 Liath Cuain CP
Racing Club de Soria 3–1 CA Oeste
Soria Union 1–1 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
Dawson FC 0–1 Sporting Club Grandeville
Club Sparta 4–1 Clube Naval de Sendas
AS Virtus 1904 2–0 FC Solaris Sirenia
AC Kasandora 0–2 Shamrocks FC

Three straight wins indicate that Sparta's bad phase has definitely passed. 4-1 on the Naval and fifth position on the table made the mood much calmer among Alan Mormont's men. Another big team in rapid recovery is Virtus, who scored 2-0 at Solaris Sirenia and is in sixth. Dawson has lost again, this time to Sporting, and is going downhill. In the games between the last four, two draws leave the situation pretty much the same. Soria Union missed a point, which was extremely valuable for Thiéry not to let Stellar and Liath go too far. AC Kasandora missed the opportunity to keep going, losing 0-2 to Shamrocks, who remain in the Qualifying Zone for the Globe Cup, along with Racing, who jumped to third. The fans of the Club of Princes must be very excited with the great results.

Matchday 9
Shamrocks FC 4–2 Stellar Kasandora
FC Solaris Sirenia 3–1 AC Kasandora
Clube Naval de Sendas 1–3 AS Virtus 1904
Sporting Club Grandeville 0–3 Club Sparta
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 3–2 Dawson FC
CA Oeste 2–3 Soria Union
Liath Cuain CP 0–3 Racing Club de Soria

The Premiership comes to a third of games completed with a ninth round that completely messed up the table! The top six are separated by a single point! Thiéry left the last position. How crazy! Racing is the new championship leader, beating Liath Cuain 3-0 at Valera Park. This time the crowd was booing the crimson team in the first half already. Liath now hold the wooden spoon because Thiéry (already eliminated from Globe Cup) have beaten Dawson FC 3-2. Shamrocks, their rivals, are in second place, with the same number of points that Racing Soria have, but with six fewer goals in the balance. Sparta and Virtus won, definitively abandoning the bad phase, while Atlético and Sporting lost but remain in good position. These four are one point behind Racing and Shamrocks, and a number of goal-balance criteria untie them from third to sixth. In the "poorer" derby between east and west, the Soria Union beat CA Oeste for just a little.

Matchday 10
Stellar Kasandora 0–1 Racing Club de Soria
Soria Union 1–0 Liath Cuain CP
Dawson FC 2–3 CA Oeste
Club Sparta 0–0 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer

14 Liath Cuain CP              10    1   4   5    11   18   −7     7

After ten of the twenty-six rounds, for the first time we see Lisander's four biggest teams in the top four. Racing has a great return to the elite season, leading the competition with the same number of points as Shamrocks, 20. Virtus is in third place, with the same number of wins from the two above, the last one against Sporting Grandeville. Sparta are fourth, having drawn against Thiéry. Atletico Kasandora in fifth place, with the same number of points as Sparta, is another very strong team, but for which there are still enough titles to be considered a great. Sporting Grandeville, Solaris Sirenia and CA Oeste were expected in these positions, and Soria Union, for all its investment, is not bad either. Dawson and Stellar Kasandora, who were champions in the two seasons before Sparta's two consecutive titles, are no longer the same teams, and are threatened with relegation, as are CF Thiéry and Liath Cuáin CP. This year only one will fall. Who could it be?

CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 1–1 AS Virtus 1904
CA Oeste 2–2 Club Sparta
Liath Cuain CP 2–2 Dawson FC
Racing Club de Soria 0–0 Soria Union

An ugly round. There were 5 draws. Only the Sporting Grandeville win over AC Kasandora, 4-0 was really relevant. Stellar Kasandora and Solaris Sirenia made a nice game, but it didn't do much for the table. Defeat takes Kasandora's team to the last position.

Matchday 12
Stellar Kasandora 1–2 Soria Union
Dawson FC 2–0 Racing Club de Soria
Club Sparta 4–3 Liath Cuain CP
AS Virtus 1904 3–1 CA Oeste
AC Kasandora 2–2 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
Shamrocks FC 2–2 Sporting Club Grandeville
FC Solaris Sirenia 1–1 Clube Naval de Sendas

In the last of the first leg local derbies, Virtus beat CA Oeste and jumped to first place in the league. Soria Union went to Ribeira Stadium and beat Stellar Kasandora. At Sparta Stadium, Liath even tried, but could not get away from Stellar in the table, losing 4-3 to the home owners. Again, a round of many draws.

Matchday 13
Clube Naval de Sendas 2–1 Stellar Kasandora
Sporting Club Grandeville 0–0 FC Solaris Sirenia
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 1–1 Shamrocks FC
CA Oeste 1–1 AC Kasandora
Liath Cuain CP 0–3 AS Virtus 1904
Racing Club de Soria 1–4 Club Sparta
Soria Union 2–2 Dawson FC

The first half of the championship is gone! And with one more win, the eighth in thirteen games, Virtus kept the lead. The upcoming team, thanks to Heretier, Nantel and Hiltmann, are two points clear of second-placed Club Sparta, who beat Racing 3-0 at Louis II Stadium, pushing the Princes Club to the fourth position. The Shamrocks remain third, and the point they left at Stade Auguste Deschamps served to give the Bleus more peace of mind, since they are now 5 points ahead of the relegation. There were three draws in the round again, this is getting boring.

Matchday 14
Stellar Kasandora 1–2 Dawson FC
Soria Union 3–2 Club Sparta
Racing Club de Soria 0–2 AS Virtus 1904
Liath Cuain CP 0–1 AC Kasandora
CA Oeste 2–1 Shamrocks FC
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 4–2 FC Solaris Sirenia
Sporting Club Grandeville 2–0 Clube Naval de Sendas

Revenge is a dish best served cold! In the first round Racing Club de Soria went to EON Arena and beat AS Virtus 1904, silencing the local crowd. Now, in the first round of the second half of the championship, Virtus shut up Louis II Stadium, with a 2-0 knocking Racing down to seventh place, eight points behind the leader, and for the first time under Soria Union. Union, in turn, returned their kindness and beat Club Sparta, leaving Virtus with a five-point lead. CF Thiéry have won again, and have considerably dispelled the fear of relegation, at least for now. Sporting Grandeville hosted Naval at Andreas Rozan, and with a good win, returned to the Globe Cup qualifier zone.

Matchday 15
Sporting Club Grandeville 3–0 Stellar Kasandora
Clube Naval de Sendas 2–2 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
FC Solaris Sirenia 1–1 CA Oeste
Shamrocks FC 1–1 Liath Cuain CP
AC Kasandora 3–1 Racing Club de Soria
AS Virtus 1904 2–3 Soria Union
Club Sparta 1–0 Dawson FC

Surprise! Soria Union beat Virtus at Despina, also entering the Globe Cup contention zone. With Sparta's wins against Dawson FC and Sporting Grandeville's win against Stellar Kasandora, the fight for the lead is now back to three. In the Porto Gris Derby, they just draw, and the rope around Liath Cuain neck is loosened. Naval and Thierry finish the day with a draw. Atletico de Kasandora and Racing also finish in a drae, and the result is terrible for both.

Matchday 16
Stellar Kasandora 2–1 Club Sparta

Soria Union 0–0 AC Kasandora
Racing Club de Soria 1–0 Shamrocks FC
Liath Cuain CP 0–1 FC Solaris Sirenia
CA Oeste 2–2 Clube Naval de Sendas
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 3–2 Sporting Club Grandeville

Stellar Kasandora beat Club Sparta, AS Virtus lost but remain leaders, Soria Union are in the qualifying zone for the Globe Cup in their first season in the Premiership, and no one really understood how it went. Ooh baby, baby, it's a wild world.

Matchday 17
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 2–0 Stellar Kasandora

FC Solaris Sirenia 1–1 Racing Club de Soria
Shamrocks FC 3–1 Soria Union
AC Kasandora 2–1 Dawson FC
AS Virtus 1904 1–1 Club Sparta

Possibly the most anticipated game of the season was this Virtus - Sparta. It was a direct dispute for leadership. A match between the two most winning teams in national championship history: A total of 34 national titles on the field (19 from Sparta and 15 from Virtus). Eight national team starters at the EON Arena (Sparta: Michael Anders Michaelichen, Luis Rosell, Afonso Heretier and Tássio Camden. Virtus: Dominic Castres, Saber Neville, Christian Nantel and Lukas Hiltmann). Two teams that started the year badly and after the ninth round skyrocketed to the top. The 1-1 in the end was a fair result, especially since it was a tough game in the first seventy minutes. The defenses were very strong, especially Sparta's. Alan Mormont and Jean-Luc Lecastel had prepared the teams for a real war.
The goals came only at the very end of the game, from the feet of younger players, who came in rested and full of energy. Sparta opened the scoring at 74 'with Leo Artemon, and Virtus drew at 83' with Arjun Étienne. The result was Atlético de Kasandora, who beat Dawson and returned to second position. In other results, Thiéry beat Stellar and is ten points ahead of last. Liath won again and pushed Stellar back to last position. In direct confrontation for fifth position, the Shamrocks beat the Soria Union.

CA Oeste 3–0 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer

Sometimes it's ridiculous how balanced this championship is. The pursuit of sports self-sufficiency has made Premiership an unpredictable championship. There are 14 teams. The first 12 are just ten points away. There are three teams with 31 points: Sparta, Virtus and Sporting Grandeville. The top six can reach the top in the next round. The level is very even, winning or losing becomes detail, and then it kind of loses its fun. There is not a big highlight. Kinda boring that.

Shamrocks FC 4–1 Club Sparta
AC Kasandora 2–0 AS Virtus 1904

Premiership is completely unpredictable. Virtus drops four positions with one defeat. The Shamrocks beat Sparta in Emerald Park and take the lead again. Five teams with nine wins each. Even CF Thiéry still has mathematical possibilities of winning the Premiership. The only thing that doesn't change Liath Cuain CP and Stellar Kasandora at the end of the table, fighting not to be relegated.

New result changes all over again Virtus beat Shamrocks at EON Arena and Atletico beat Derby against Stellar and took the lead, pushing their local rival further into the deep end. Liath's victory over the West makes the situation even more dramatic. The triple act between the teams of Kasandora, Despina and Porto Gris erases the tedious tie between Sparta and Solaris in the news. Soria Union and Racing Club win, happiness in the capital. After twenty games, the cardiac can no longer stand. The disinterested are gone. Twelve points separate the first twelve. Eighteen points are still up for grabs. If on the one hand, it's a lot of emotion, on the other no one can stand the uncertainty. Will Globe Cup vacancies be set in the goal balance again? This balance is losing its fun.

Copa da Liga, First Rounds

To ensure a decent level of competition and send one of its members to the Cygnus Cup, the Premiership and the National League have created their own Cup. Tristarbank Exclusive Copa da Liga, sponsored by Tristarbank's executive account brand, features 46 Premiership teams, National 1 and National 2, and replaces the Prince's Cup (canceled by FLF) as an international feeder. There will be no Giant Killings this season.

The competition will take place in six rounds, and Lisander's six teams will participate in UICA international competitions in cycle 73 (Club Sparta, Liath Cuain CP, FC Solaris Sirenia, CF Thierry sur-le-mer, Racing Club de Soria and Soria Union) only enter the third phase, the Round of 16. Teams play one match by round. The home team is set at random. The only stadium already chosen is the Final one, which this season will be the modern Nordland Metropolitano in Soria, even under protest from some teams who consider it absurd to play such an important match in artificial turf.

Tristarbank Premiership, Matchday 21-25

Matchday 21
Liath Cuain CP 3–0 Stellar Kasandora
CA Oeste 0–2 Racing Club de Soria
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 2–0 Soria Union
Sporting Club Grandeville 1–1 Dawson FC
Clube Naval de Sendas 2–1 Club Sparta
FC Solaris Sirenia 0–2 AS Virtus 1904
Shamrocks FC 2–0 AC Kasandora

In a direct duel for permanence, Liath beat Stellar and made the situation of Kasandora's team desperate, now 8 points behind. Virtus went to Sirenia and beat Solaris, while Sparta lost and fell behind again. Good for Shamrocks, who beat Atletico and are just one point off the stools.

Matchday 22
Stellar Kasandora 5–3 Shamrocks FC
AC Kasandora 0–1 FC Solaris Sirenia
AS Virtus 1904 2–1 Clube Naval de Sendas
Club Sparta 4–3 Sporting Club Grandeville
Dawson FC 3–2 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
Soria Union 0–1 CA Oeste
Racing Club de Soria 1–2 Liath Cuain CP

More leader than ever, Virtus wins one more and opens up 4 points to Shamrocks, who lost to Stellar Kasandora. Stellar continue their desperate quest to save themselves from relegation, but with Liath Cuain's victory, the gap remains eight points. With twelve points to go, the title is now a mathematical possibility for "only" nine teams.

Matchday 23
Racing Club de Soria 1–2 Stellar Kasandora
Liath Cuain CP 1–0 Soria Union
CA Oeste 1–1 Dawson FC
CF Thiéry sur-le-mer 1–3 Club Sparta
Sporting Club Grandeville 2–1 AS Virtus 1904
Clube Naval de Sendas 1–2 AC Kasandora
FC Solaris Sirenia 2–2 Shamrocks FC

Virtus went to Grandeville and lost. The Shamrocks went to Sirenia and lost. Good for Sparta who went to Thiéry and won, and for Atletico de Kasandora who went to Sendas and also won. Now two points separate the tetracolores and spartans from Virtus and only 3 games left!

Matchday 24
Stellar Kasandora 2–2 FC Solaris Sirenia
Shamrocks FC 0–2 Clube Naval de Sendas
AC Kasandora 1–1 Sporting Club Grandeville
AS Virtus 1904 1–1 CF Thiéry sur-le-mer
Club Sparta 2–1 CA Oeste
Dawson FC 1–2 Liath Cuain CP
Soria Union 3–2 Racing Club de Soria

The 2-2 draw against Solaris Sirenia and Liath's win against Dawson decides Stellar Kasandora's relegation to the National League 1. On the other side of the table, the title is virtually between Virtus, who drew at Thiéry and lost the leadership; Sparta, who beat CA Oeste at home and took the lead for the number of goals scored, and Atletico de Kasandora, who tied with Sporting Grandeville, were two points behind both.

Matchday 25
Soria Union 3–1 Stellar Kasandora

Ladies and gentlemen. 25 rounds were not enough to define a national champion. Three teams reach the last Matchday with a chance to lift the most coveted trophy in the country. Lisander's two biggest clubs are virtually tied for first place. The goal difference is in favor of defending champion Sparta, who is +1 and goes in search of the third straight title. Virtus is theoretically the easy way out, facing 12th-placed Liath Cuain CP inside the Arminhos Stadium, which has spent much of the year under renovation but is ready for the season's close. Running out, hoping for unexpected results, Atlético de Kasandora, with a relatively young team, led by goalkeeper Vitor Marin, who was no less than a hero, leading the tetracolors not only to this title possibility but also to the final of the League Cup.

There is still a spot for the Globe Cup, to be decided between Shamrocks FC, Soria Union and Sporting Grandeville.

In the last week everything was undefined. A group of Racing fans launched the hashtag #GiveThemTheStar, asking for Racing Soria to "go easy" against Sparta, allowing them to win. This would prevent the trophy from going to AS Virtus 1904, Racing's biggest rival. It was the subject of the sports week. Sparta coach Alan Mormont said he didn't want it to be easy.

Christian Nantel, a Soria Union academy graduate who played a year for Racing and now defends the colors of AS Virtus 1904, wrote on a social network that "he knew that the Princesses (derogatory nickname for Racing players and fans) were capable of everything to see Virtus lose, but that would not be enough. " After some negative repercussion, the comment was deleted. Years ago, Nantel's period for Racing was very troubled.

In the end, not only did Racing not take it easy on Sparta, it won. 1-2 at the Sparta stadium, goals by Ian Fons and Ricardo Santander. Sparta Goal was made by Leo Artemon. At ACK Arena, Atletico de Kasandora was mathematically champion for 27 minutes. The young Nico Thorn scored the first goal and put Atletico in front after 4 minutes against CA Oeste. The other two goals, by Cyril Amati and Inácio Andreatto, only came in the second half, but by that time Virtus had both hands in the cup with two goals, one from Saber Neville and one from Lukas Hiltmann against Liath Cuain. The match at Kasandora ended 3-1, but as the match at Arminhos Stadium ended 3-0 with a third goal scored by Christian Schiller, there was nothing more to be done. The Association Sportive Virtus 1904 was once again, the sixteenth time, National Football Association champion.

Season 5 - Draft and Preseason

Liga Acadêmica Nacional had great success in the NSCAA. With two teams (Portia University and Concordia University) winning their conference championships in NSCAA 10, the deal to make draftees join the Superliga was accepted. From the 28 Draftees, 17 joined teams for the Season 5 of Superliga. Some of them were already expected, like the Elite 12 MVP Marion Zimmer making the way up from Portia University to AA Portia (Overall first pick) and Alessandro Hartins going from Concordia to ACK. The biggest surprise of the draft was Silvestre Brandet refusing the offer of Olympia Lerna to play for his hometown team, Myrtilis BC. See the full table:

Another surprise in the Draft Event (mostly for the media) was the presentation of the expansion plans for Season 6. Superliga announced formally the second Soria franchise, temporarily named Soria 2 (seems like the owners are trying to partner another sports team or a main sponsor). The second expansion franchise, temporarily named Superliga 16, wasn't yet formed by Draft time.

Right before the start the league, Casterwill announced they were dropping the current burgundy and green colours and uniforms following the end of the season, and joining the gold and navy colours of its sister team, the Casterwill Cricket Club, recently runners up of The Alliance T20 League. Uniforms only changed colours for the season, because Neo hadn't time to design a new set. Reactions among the fans are quite mixed. Some people disliked because Roses colors were quite unique and Cricket wasn't that popular. In the end, the team management kept the green uniform in the set, as the third option.

Liga Acadêmica Nacional

A Liga Acadêmica Nacional (The National Academic League) is the boards for all sports competitions between university teams in the country. Currently 20 universities are affiliated to it, in addition to the four military academies (Army, Air Force, Army and National Guard), which send teams to the national championships. Sometimes, the universities send more than one team, as in Rugby, where the University of Soria has 4 teams (Engineering, History, Law and Medicine).

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

With the eight best basketball teams on the LAN going to the NSCAA, the Elite 12 format became obsolete last season. For four teams, the road ended after 22 games, while NSCAA qualifiers played between 29 and 36 more games, up to a maximum of 58 games, which is a lot. It was two seasons in one, which tired the players and caused many complaints.

To solve that, the National Academic League has defined a new method of dispute for Lisander's University Basketball.

Starting this season, the NSCAA effectively becomes the first division of Lisander's University Basketball, with up to eight teams scattered throughout the conferences. These eight teams will compete in the Division 1 National Championship, apart from the NSCAA, in a knockout format tournament.

The remaining four teams in Elite 12 will be the first four teams in the new Division 2 National Championship. The Division 2 Final Four will face Lisander's four worst finishers in the regular NSCAA Conference season in the National Playoffs for four spots in the following NSCAA season.
