The IAC is an event that Reçuecians look forward to with anticipation every cycle, and we hope that we can share even just a fraction of that excitement with you!

You can find details on tournament schedule, organization, and format below, but if you have any questions, please direct them to the discussion thread, send me a telegram, or find me on discord. This thread is for In-Context posts only. Although I will reserve a post for host information, Please do not reserve posts in this thread.

Rosters
Please post a roster! Rosters are graded separately and are worth up to one full day's RP bonus—but more importantly, nations who don't post a roster will have their rank set to 0 until they do.

What should you post in your roster? Well, at the very least, the names and positions of your players, your style mod, and your roleplay permissions. Any additional information you wish to include regarding your team or your nation is welcome—the more your opponents know about who they're playing against, the more fun it is for everyone! Your style mod should be a number between -5 and +5 to indicate where your team falls on a spectrum from "totally defensive" to "totally aggressive". The higher your style mod, the more goals you'll score... but also the more goals you'll allow! And vice versa.

Your roleplay permissions are how you let your opponents know what is fair game for them to say about your team in their roleplays. Be as specific as you like. Do you want to decide which players score your team's goals? Are you open to wild and zany surprises occurring on the pitch? Any particular topics you want to rule out? Add a box, pre, or code tag to your roster and include that information inside. Remember, your roleplay permissions may determine what other people say about your players, but you cannot control what they say about their own team. You may ask others not to godmod goals against you, for instance, but you cannot force everyone to accept your vision of what is "realistic".

Format
The tournament will be scored using my new "IAC+" rankings, and the SQIS formula on xkoranate. Unranked teams with a KPB+ ranking are ranked and seeded based on their scaled KPB+ rank.

The tournament will begin with a 5-day group stage, featuring eight groups of five teams. Teams are seeded according to rank. Puppets will be placed on the opposite side of the bracket from their owners. As hosts, Reçueçn will be placed in Pot 1 and will play in Group A.

The top two teams of each group will advance to a knock-out bracket. Tiebreakers will be: points, goal difference, head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference, coin flip. The knock-out matches will be A1 vs B2, et cetera.

Reçueçn National Information & Roster

Reçuecian History and Culture

Long ago, Reçueçn was only a city, built on the heights overlooking the junction of the Rhône and Saône rivers. These heights were settled by the ancient warlord Ifheda Rcuecn near the end of the II^nd century a.d., and have born his name ever since. The area at that time belonged to the Roman Empire, who had established their regional administrative center, Lugdunum, on the other side of the river.

In 197 a.d., history was forever altered when a decisive battle was fought near Lugdunum in one of the civil wars for the throne of the empire. The victor, Septimius Severus, razed the city of Lugdunum and destroyed it, stripping from it all imperial privileges in punishment for supporting his rival. This was the end for Lugdunum, but it was the beginning for Reçueçn. Refugees flocked across the river to join the settlement, and the city of Reçueçn grew to become a smallish regional center. Rcuecn's descendants (who changed the spelling to Reçueçn) maintained control over what became the Duchy of Reçueçn for 700 years, until it was inherited by their cousins the Blancpics who reigned for another 300 years.

At the beginning of the XIV^th century, power passed into the hands of Carl Blancpic, who was a megalomaniac and partially insane. Thus he declared his duchy to be a kingdom and singled out weak neighbors who he invaded with audacity. Over an incredibly short period of time beginning in the spring of 1337, he had carved out for himself a sizable dominion. This moment was the creation of the nation of Reçueçn.

Carl, who styled himself "Carl III of Reçueçn", was violent, unstable, and petty. He was also wildly unpopular with the populations of the various states he had conquered. Although the central power structure helped the economy of the new Kingdom of Reçueçn to some extent, it did not bring with it all the stability that might have been expected. This was mostly due to the decrees of Carl III, who, among other things, began a campaign to persecute and kill all "heretics" within his new realm. Most historians agree that this was in fact a thinly veiled purge of his political rivals. This and other policies he enacted on his whims finally drove the people into open revolt in the spring of 1352.

Carl managed to hold on to power for a couple years by hiring mercenaries, but in 1354 lost two key battles and was captured by the rebels. By this time, the rebellion was led by feudal lords throughout the country who had sided with the people against their tyrant king. Carl III was executed, and the kingdom dissolved into a mess of tiny, independent feudal holdings.

No sooner had the various states that had been in the Kingdom of Reçueçn won their independence, than infighting broke out among them. The feudal lords squabbled over power and influence, trying vainly to imitate Carl's meteoric rise to power. This new violence, combined with the economic downturn associated with the rebellion and the breakup of the nation, clearly displayed how poorly things were turning out. More sensible minds came to the decision that the solution was to once more unify Reçueçn.

Therefore, on November 19, 1356, The Allied States of Reçueçn came into being. The leaders of all the petty states, duchies, bishoprics, free cities, etc., came together and signed what are known as "The Treaties of the Alliance," a document just powerful enough to make Reçueçn a single nation, rather than a group of independent entities. The treaties also established a rough form of democracy, with each state represented (although typically by its aristocracy). Thus Reçueçn lays claim to being one of the oldest democracies in the world.

The treaties defined much of Reçuecian history to come. Provisions were made to establish freedom of religion, in order to avoid another scenario similar to Carl III's persecution of his opponents. The treaties also gave Reçueçn an isolationist bent. The nation had been burned before, and wouldn't soon try to meddle in external affairs, especially when its composite nature made creating a foreign policy so difficult.

Reçueçn, then, has managed to avoid many of the crises of European history. It's darkest moment came when Napoleon invaded, proclaiming himself emperor (although he allowed Reçueçn's government to continue to function under his reign). The allied states have drawn closer together, although cultural differences remain among them; they don't even all speak the same language.

Reçueçian culture has also been shaped by its location, nestled in the center of the Alps. The difficulty of travel among mountain valleys ensured the cultural diversity of the nation and preserved local customs. Although rural communities did center around agriculture—especially dairy production—many Reçuecian were forced by the lack of arable land to find other work. This led to a culture of innovation that continues today: Reçueçn is now known for its luxury products and technological exports. This has additionally led to a focus on science and education. The relatively diverse nature of Reçueçn's culture means that some areas are culturally more time-oriented while others are more task-oriented, but this fusion has given the country a uniqueness, especially in art. Reçueçn, perhaps thanks to its inland, mountainous location, or the fact that it was never a colonial power, has seen little immigration or emigration. Recently, however, the diversity of language spoken in the country has made it attractive to refugees from other areas where those languages are spoken.

Visiting Reçueçn

Reçueçn is a small nation, but it's got a lot to see. If you're visiting for the IAC, you may want to extend your stay to see the sights.

Travelling to and in Reçueçn
Most travelers to Reçueçn will fly into Reçueçn city. As the capital and largest city, it will definitely have the flight connection you need. Genève, the nation's second city, will also accommodate you in this regard. If you are travelling from a nearby country then the easiest option is almost certainly to arrive by train; your destination is far more likely to have a rail connection than an airport.

For travel within the country, taking the train is probably the way to go. Car rentals are fairly expensive, and many cities restrict downtown access to pedestrians and public transport. When travelling through the countryside, you will find that autoroutes have high tolls, and smaller roads are typically wind annoyingly through steep mountain terrain. However, there is an extensive rail and tunnel network, and taking the train is fairly cheap between most places in the nation. Bus routes also connect most larger towns, and the Ministry of Sport has chartered special buses during the tournament to bring fans from Reçueçn City and Genève to the other towns where games are being held. Within cities themselves, public transport is always very high quality and usually very affordable or in some cities, free.

What to See
Presumably if you're reading this, the main attraction that has brought you to Reçueçn is the twenty-third Independent's Cup. It is likely that all of your nation's games will be played in just one or two cities—probably Reçueçn City or Genève. But if you want to see a bit more of the nation, consider taking a ride up to a cute alpine village and hiking along a mountain ridge to appreciate the amazing views we have to offer. Or take a swim in a mountain lake and cool off in the shadow of the peaks. If you really are looking to ditch the heat, check out the ice tunnels at the Écho glaciers. The skiing is better during the winter—the best in the world, in fact—but some slopes stay open year round with artificial snow.

If the mountains aren't for you, consider visiting our world-famous cheese museum - free samples! Or visit the Genève Cathedral if the culture you're looking for isn't bacterial. Genève, Reçueçn, Beçonailles, Zimmerich, and other cities each have a beautiful downtown historic district worth the walking tour. Check them out if your idea of a good time means wandering through medieval fortifications or strolling down cobbled alleys. If what's up your alley is shopping, then we've got that too - check out Genève's luxury district for high end jewelry, fashion, watches, and more. Exchanging your money should be no problem: the Reçuecian guilder is very stable and worth just a bit more than the NSD.

Where to Stay, What to Eat
If you are on the search for the perfect hotel for your stay in Reçueçn, worry not. Plenty of all kinds abound in and around each major city, whether you're looking for the four star experience, or just want to save a buck. If you'd rather have the personal, local touch, then we've still got you covered: a quick look online will reveal plenty of family-owned bed & breakfasts, as well as app-based short-term rentals. Hostels are also very popular in Reçueçn, and are a great way to stay near the city center for a very low cost.

What'll you have for dinner? Reçueçn's food is what will make you want to come back for another visit. We love our cheeses, and our national specialty is raclette, melted cheese scraped over small potatoes, cornichons, and saucisson. Try it at a restaurant where each table is provided with its own small oven so each diner can melt their own. Another local specialty is tartiflette, essentially a casserole of potatoes, onions, and lardon (thick-cut bacon) served with a slab of, you guessed it, more melted cheese cooked right over it.

If rather than in a seat at a fine dining establishment, you find yourself in an alpine pasture hankering for a pique-nique, don't worry. Cheese is great for a basket-lunch too. Bring along a baguette and a saucisson, and you've got yourself a meal.

No meal in Reçueçn is complete without a glass of wine, and the local product is certainly worth the connoisseur's time. Reçuecian wine varies immensely depending on whether you're south, west, or north of the Alps, so try a few varieties and pick your favorite. If you need a pairing for your meal, it just so happens that every single person you meet on the street in the country is a self-proclaimed expert ready with helpful advice. Just don't stop them on their way home for dinner.

Do's and Don't's

Do say "Bonjour" to those you pass in a small town. Don't stand on the left side of a metro escalator. Do take your time to enjoy a meal or a conversation in western Reçueçn. Don't be late in eastern Reçueçn. Do greet people with a kiss on each cheek. Don't actually let your lips touch them. Do cheer loudly for your team! Don't go too crazy with the victory party. Do take a selfie with your head on the block at execution square in downtown Reçueçn. Don't miss out on your visit because you're on your phone the whole time. Do rent a bike and pedal around to see the sights. Don't be unprepared to parallel park if you've rented a car. Do make eye contact during a conversation. Don't stare at people. Do be ready to share gossip with perfect strangers. Don't expect people to open up to you right away. Do keep your hands above the table at dinner. Don't yawn during a conversation. Do offer to help your host with cleaning up. Don't ask for seconds until offered. Do speak your mind and be straightforward. Don't bank on too much personal space.

Do have the time of your life.

Tournament Venues

Stade National, Reçueçn
Cap. 30,000
The home of Les Licornes, Reçueçn’s équipe nationale, Reçueçn’s national stadium is located in the capital of the nation and has hosted every one of the RNFT’s home games—except during IAC 8 when the team played in several of the other hosting stadiums. The Stade National was never officially named, and so is referred to as “le stade national” simply because that’s what it is—the national stadium. It is the largest stadium in the country and will host the IAC 23 final.
Group A, Ro16 1, Final match

Carl III Stadium, Reçueçn
Cap. 28,500
Carl III Stadium is the home stadium of Reçueçn FC, Reçueçn’s biggest and historically most successful soccer team. Also located in the capital city, this stadium is known for its controversial name—Carl III was the first and only king of Reçueçn and was wildly unpopular for having invaded most of the country and ruling it with an iron fist. A rebellion led to his deposition and the creation of the Allied States. Inhabitants of other parts of the country, therefore, disapprove of the name, although those from Reçueçn City still use Carl III as an example of their superiority—on the football pitch.
Group F, Ro16 6, Third-Place Playoff

Stade de la Reformation, Genève
Cap. 27,000
Le Stade de la Reformation is the home stadium of Association Genève, Reçueçn FC’s biggest rival. Located just outside the city up the hill, a gap in the stands at one corner of the field allows a view of gorgeous Lac Genève during day games, and at night, the sparkling lights of the city on its shore.
Group E, Ro16 5, Semifinal 1

Siegstadion, Zimmerich
Cap. 25,440
Siegstadion, or, translated, Victory Stadium, has a lot to represent in Reçueçian culture. Zimmerich's eponymous football club is the premier side in the nation with a background from the German-speaking minority. Thus the stadium represents not only the team and the region it comes from, but to some extent, an entire language group in the country (although some German-speakers have their own teams they choose to root for). The stadium is white and in the form of an elipse, ringed with faux pillars, to conjure up the idea of an ancient Greek temple.
Group C, Ro16 3, Semifinal 2

Champ de Sport, Renwyll
22,000
Champ de Sport, referred to in English as "Sporting Field" before the passage of le loi Kazemi, is in Renwyll, the city, and is home to Renwyll, the football club. The name Champ de Sport has militaristic connotations—it brings to mind a champ de battaille, a battlefield. May you defeat your enemies here.
Group D, Ro16 4, Quarterfinal 1

Stade de l’Alliance, Genève
Cap. 20,000
Another Genevois stadium, Stade de l’Alliance is named for the historical agreement which created Reçueçn as a nation, ensuring that states besides the Duchy of Reçueçn, such as Genève, would have equal footing under the new system of government. Le Stade de l’Alliance is the home field of Genève Bord-de-Lac.
Group H, Ro16 8, Quarterfinal 2

Arena der Alpen, Heldingen
Cap. 20,000
One of only two stadiums hosting games in this tournament located in a Germanophone region of the nation, the Arena der Alpen is high in the Reçueçian Alps, and the altitude may pose a small issue for teams not used to playing in similar situations. That said, this is yet another beautiful stadium; Heldingen has great views of the surrounding mountains, and any tourists attending games here may want to schedule a little extra time for a hike.
Group G, Ro16 7, Quarterfinal 3

Hôtel Chapelle-Pré, Reçueçn
Cap. 15,500
The oldest stadium in the nation in continuous professional use, Hôtel Chapelle-Pré gave its name to the team that plays there. Admittedly a small stadium for a tournament of this size, Hôtel Chapelle-Pré is unexpectedly jumping into the limelight during this IAC as normally it and its team are overshadowed by the much bigger Reçueçn FC in the same city. It was chosen to host games during this tournament thanks to its proximity to other stadiums being used in order to cut down on travel time.
Group B, Ro16 2, Quarterfinal 4

National Team Information

No one had faith in Hyron LeBouffe, the new manager of Les Licornes. It was assumed that the FNRF hired him because it had to hire somebody and couldn't agree on anybody else—nobody expected anything from him. Reports from the ÉNRF locker room over the course of the latest tournament—the ninetieth Cup of Harmony—held that it was the players working together who were really leading the team, and LeBouffe was just along for the ride. But even if all he did was stay out of the way, LeBouffe apparently deserves at least some credit. After all, Les Licornes won the Cup of Harmony! It's the most success Reçueçn has ever had.

With such a good showing, the Reçuecian fans were rejuvenated and even bid to host the 23rd IAC. Now, the nation is riding that wave of sporting enthusiasm and hoping for great results at this tournament, as well.

~~~

If L'Équipe Nationale de Reçueçn de Football is known for anything, it would be its defensive style. This is partly due to the large influence of Reçueçn FC on the team; the most popular domestic club in Reçueçn plays about as defensive a game as you can imagine. This is balanced out to some extent by the players from other teams with more attacking philosophies, but the league as a whole tends towards defense, and it shows in the national team. Furthermore, Gerauld Firaut, the team's #1 goalie, is the best player on the team by a solid margin—without a doubt, Reçueçn's first world-class player. He and his defense form the foundation for the team as a whole.

National Team Logo

The team plays in a 4-3-3 formation, but sometimes the wings drop back, almost making it a 4-5-1. In general, the team's strategy and tactics are solid. However, there has always been some tension between the current manager, Bonheur Relié, who would prefer a more attacking style, and the players, who in general are more comfortable on defense. Relié has never managed to make himself as popular with the team as his predecessor, Jacques Tremblay, who was the founding head coach of the team and is a footballing icon for Reçuecians. Relié's inability to build the same relationship is due only to his lack of charisma, not skill, but does make his job more difficult.

The Reçueçian National Team's mascot is the unicorn; thus another name for the team is "les licornes". The fantastical creature has been a symbol of Reçueçn for almost two millennia and is also the national animal, appearing as the supporters in the national coat of arms.

The team's kit represents the colors of the flag in a quite literal fashion. The jersey was redesigned a long time ago, replacing the first one les licornes ever wore, dating back to the 59th Baptism of Fire. Fans thought the old outfit was ugly, but the current one is now also becoming out of favor as the longer it stick around the more tired people grow of it. It was much more professional than the original, but leaves more to be desired.

Coaching Staff

Hyron LeBouffe: Used to coach for Actwell. In the wake of Relié being fired from the équipe nationale, Heissler took over as interim manager, but the FNRF couldn't agree on who the official replacement should be. They cycled through several different candidates and took far too long to make a choice, with their indecision actively harming the team. After some bureaucratic wheeling and dealing, they settled on LeBouffe, mostly because nobody had any specific problems with him. He earned a lot of favor by promptly winning the Cup of Harmony, but no one is sure that he actually deserves the credit for that.

All-time record: 182-89-112

Starting XI

1 Gerauld Firaut goalkeeper age 37 self-controlled
The face of Reçuecian soccer. Team captain, and a pillar of support for his teammates.

2 Emanuele Cutrona sweeper age 33 Italian
Passionate and young at heart. Cutrona's friendship with Adams often gets them in trouble.

3 Paulin Bourguignon left back age 34 counter-attacking
Pacy and forward-thinking. Loves to make big clears rather than defend more precisely.

4 Lukas Kayserling center back age 33 tall
Calm and controlled. German-speaking and has difficulty communicating with the team.

5 Eric Konig right back age 23 frail
Tall, skinny, and prone to injury due to how often he collides in mid-air after going up to defend a corner kick.

6 Marco Daecher left midfielder age 24 go-doer
Works well with Thériault to execute Lapix' tactical vision.

7 Laurent Lapix defensive midfielder age 27 brilliant
Brings spice and life to the midfield. Reçueçn's other world class player.

8 Théophile Thériault right midfielder age 21 collaborator
The spearhead of the next generation of Reçuecian soccer. Everybody loves a young star.

9 Dirk Trommler left wing age 24 penetrating
A high defense's worst nightmare. Has a knack for finding a way through with the ball, whether forward balls or to shoot himself.

10 Franky Adams center forward age 32 flamboyant
Reçueçn's most famous player other than Firaut. Good enough to be the center of attention (which he loves).

11 Helibert Wolf right wing age 33 level-headed
Quick-thinking and decisive. His ability to make crucial split-second decisions has earned him many assists.

Reserves

12 Estienne de Chefderue goalkeeper age 33 patient
Being second-string goalie for a nation whose best player is their first-string goalie is not easy.

13 Rodolphe Trudeau sweeper age 33 persistent
Trudeau's willingness to always make an attack makes him a frustrating opponent. Short and stocky but high-power.

14 Jayson Compton left back age 34 mysterious
We've always said we don't know much about him, but seriously, who is this guy?

15 Quirino Lucian center back age 34 intimidating
Large and physical. Lucian's looming presence isn't an empty threat, he'll mess you up given the chance.

16 Alex Bruguière right back age 32 intuitive
A "diamond in the rough" according to the old ÉNRF manager. The diamond being his play-stopping ability and the rough being his club, Baden Heidelberg.

17 Robert Chéreau left midfielder age 33 visionary
Knows how to use the space in the midfield. Still somehow tends to drift toward the center.

18 Ansquetil de Bethencourt defensive midfielder age 33 cautious
A real thinker. Meticulously plans every pass. Usually doesn't take too long doing it.

19 Quentin Gouin right midfielder age 31 evanescent
Young and agile. Without the stamina to support his talent, his plays are flashy but brief.

20 Matthäus Behrend left wing age 32 ponderous
It can be hard to find good attackers from a nation of defenders. Matthäus is the best we could come up with.

21 Romain De Lie center forward age 20 energetic
With Thériault, has brought a youthful liveliness to the team locker-room. The pair has a great dynamic but unfortunately De Lie is on the bench for now.

22 Degaré Béranger right wing age 26 angry
Usually the one to yell at the ref or draw a yellow card. His teammates have to keep him under control.

23 Max Winkel goalkeeper age 27 redundant
The team's newest goalie. Maybe given his age he will outlast Firaut and someday see time on the pitch.

It was loved by everyone and even wholeheartedly supported the football team in the 1913 Far Eastern Games. And still is the most popular sport in all over Visayas Islands ever since.

Before every start of the match, the whole Visayan fanatics will sing Uruguay national team's favorite anthem, Cielo de un solo color after the national team heard the song in their training in Uruguay in a friendly against Danubio FC before the 2004 AFF Championship kicks in, and made the song popular with the Visayans, before the Uruguayans got it theirs in 2010. It has been a crowd favorite for the Visayans and they've even sing it in other tournaments

There's an air of uncertainty looming upon the Aphrilian National Team.

After a horrendous World Cup Qualifying campaign that saw The Anchors perform worse than their debut year, NAFA had made the choice to sack Christopher Vermont and replace him with Leonardo Bianchi. As ex-coach of the Crpostran National Team, he has taken them to the World Cup on two occasions (Including their debut year!) as well as several IAC knockout round berths. He is also the coach of Saterun club Xaiv 1919, and is considered a legend in Crpostran with his tactics known as "Bianchism". With a good record, there's expectations on him to try and shuffle this team back into form for the 23rd edition of the IAC. #trustinBianchi has been going viral in Aphrilian social media circles however, and opinions of him in Aphrilia are good. Only time will tell if this resurrection will be successful or not.

Aphrilia's 4 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 with their IAC 22 line-up.

TEAM TACTICS
OUTDATED: Expected to be updated after IAC 23 in preparation for WC 99 (In terms of scale, unknown). Use this merely as a past reference.
Ever since the national team's conception, The Anchors play a 4 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 in somewhat of a diamond shape.

The team plays a mixed style, often controlling their pace whenever having possession. They originally played a slow build-up, but now have three varying paces of "slow" and "fast" tempo of play. Although not as fast as many of the footballing countries that play quick, aggressive football, it's fast enough for this Aphrilian team to make a surprise. The fast tempos of play are used typically for the counter-attack and pressing of the enemy whenever not in possession of the ball, whilst the slow tempos of play would be used for whenever the team was on defense, playing build-up, or generally launching an attack towards the opposition half. This was done in order to contribute to the solution of enemy teams taking advantage of Aphrilia's previously slow and abysmal pace during the build-up. The other part of the solution is for someone to control the team's tempo of play.

Every single midfielder on the national team is taught on how to change the team's tempo by giving out orders, typically by hand signs and shouting out a code of communications to signify which tempo they would use. This single designated person is known as the team's Anchor, selected for each match by the manager himself. Everyone else on the team understands the code of communications as well in order to know how fast or slow they should play. The Anchor's orders regarding tempo is often linked with how the team captain wants the match to play out. These tactics were developed by the players themselves and was implemented for the first time in the 96th edition of World Cup Qualifying. And ever since then, this is the go to tactical system the team has used. Future players of course will also be taught the code of communications (And for midfielders, also how to be the Anchor).

FAN CULTURE
Aphrilians can be both patriotic and respectful most of the time. The keywords in that sentence being most of the time.

At home, Aphrilians will be chanting, singing, and cheering on from the beginning to the end of the match. And with the Millennium Dawn Stadium being designed in a way that gives the home crowd a good advantage (All within the rules), expect intense pressure from the stands. Tifos will be displayed, flags will be waved. No matter the end result, this nation will support it's team to the very end. However, they will be respectful to the opposition team and the away fans that travelled all the way to Darlingtown to see their team. Alcohol is banned in stadiums in a continuous effort to keep hooliganism at bay, and security is guaranteed for the teams as well as fans. The home crowd are friendly a lot of the times, so expect harmony and kinship before and after the match. This attitude is also shared for those who go to the away games, being respectful and proud.

And that is most of the time. However, when Aphrilians do end up getting rowdy, they can often cause quite the commotion. Public disturbance, vandalizing, damage to public and private property, those kind of things. But overall, the fanbase is calm enough that these occurrences are a sort of "once in a blue moon" kind of thing. In most cases where Aphrilians are reserved before and after matches, they often socialize with not only their own but also away fans whenever The Anchors are playing at home. On away days, the fans that are willing to make the trip will be sociable depending on if there's any restrictions placed on them as away fans or not. Generally having fun with each other before and after the matches by sharing songs, playing games with one another, enjoying the before and after festivities of a hopefully exciting football match.

About the Manager

Shane Newman is a Baker Park born, who took the chance to become the first NT boss for Havynwilde with an understanding that he would have time & resources to build from scratch. He was hounded by negative media coverage, the unrealisitc expectations of supporters & the governing body, and no investment to correct the dearth of talent in the domestic league. He was unceremoniously fired while out of the country on holiday. He'll consider his time there a learning experience. Was the chief defensive architect for the BPNT in the first three WC cycles.Aged 49 and married with three children--a boy and two girls--he will look to the domestic league for talent by focusing on technique, pace, and positional flexibility.

The goblin species were divided into three families were Grundjees are one of the major part. The other two families are called Mithys and Auris. The current members of the grundjee family is Colonel Grundjee who is a Colonel in the royal army of Indusse. The gene of colonel Grundjee was created by merging the genes of three colonels of the army with the genes of a eagle and the green algae. The green algae plays a necessary role in getting the green Color of the skin. The other member is Goblin Grundjee who is currently playing for the juniors. His gene was created by merging the genes of David Bekem, a former football and of a wild horse. The green algae is also a necessary part of the composition. The grundjee family has the green composition of skins due to green algae. Whereas, Mithys has a brownish red skin due to the presence of Blue-green Algae with Iron sediments, Auris family has the skin Color of a normal human as there isn't any presence of algae. The skin textures and patterns of the goblins are same as the humans and the color is the only thing that can discriminate it with humans. The scientific community believe that the goblin race will create revolution in the world of science. The creation of Goblin Grundjee was overseen by fellow player Bechun Butea who also played a major role in bringing Grundjee as a experimental player. Well, Grundjee is currently one of the best strikers the nation has seen.

Home Ground

The Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium, is home to the Flocking Blues and is the largest sports stadium in the nation. The Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium can hold 131,561 spectators in normal cases. The most attendance recorded for an event in the stadium was 148,241 spectators. This historical event happened long before the current stadium had been built. The former stadium known as IFA International Stadium had just a capacity of 108,112 and the event was the Sworn-in of Baskar H Kumar as the first president of the Indusse. In other words, the sworn in was also the same as the nation's independence day. The most spectators for a match was recorded as 118,232 spectators for a match between Indusse and Pratapgadh which was once a derby match.

This Stadium was built first by Aditya Varma Kulashekara, the emperor of Indusse at his reign. The stadium was built as part of giving the Indussean Football Association, a home ground. The Stadium at its beginning had a capacity of 62,122 spectators and was later increased to 97,783. The Stadium also in the past hosted the home matches of Royal Hind City FC (Currently, New Hind City FC) and Hind United FC (Currently dissolved). The Hind United FC got dissolved into Royal Hind City FC and the club through enough funding brought some land near the Darbar Halls and built a stadium there which currently serves as their home ground and the nation's secondary home ground. The IFA Stadium was built close to the Hind River and was surrounded by small forests. The place then known to be Kadaathaaaru was chosen for the stadium, the name literally meant to be "Forest River". The stadium continued to host the nation's home matches until the IFA was disbanded after the invasion of the Islamic Conquerors. The Dari Sultanate rulers took over the nation and placed a ban on all sort of native entertainment including music and sports. The stadium was taken under the custody of the Dari Military and was converted into a arena to propagate Dari Propoganda. The Stadium was renamed as Neimat Abdullah Arena and the capacity was increased to 108,112. The Neimat Abdullah Arena also became the public execution grounds of Natives in Indusse. The Dari Supressed Native Freedom Fighters were beheaded, hanged and shot dead at these grounds. After the Independence, the stadium was renamed as IFA Stadium and held the nation's first independence day celebrations. After a few years, it was renamed to Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium and the capacity was increased to 131,561. The Government then also decided to set up a monument for the natives who were killed by the supression. The Divya Azadi Stambh (Divine Freedom Pillar) located in the stadium complex is the so called monument. This Pillar is an important part of the nation's independence day celebrations.

About Seeberg

The Gemeinschaft of Seeberg is a small and landlocked country located high up in the misty mountains. Once a confederation of small villages nestled in the deep valleys, it is now a unitary state governed by the Landsrat. The political structure is semi-parliamentary in nature, but weak democratic traditions and love of consistency has ensured continued governance by the establishmentarian and slightly reactionary Verein für den anhaltenden Ruhm der Bergvölker (VfdaRdB) for as long as most people can remember.

Map of Seeberg

The capital is Brinterberg. A sprawling «urban village» situated at the foot, and high up on the slopes, of the Horkenheim mountains, where over two thirds of the population reside. An old and arguably quaint city, it is made up of Jugend housing, Baroque palaces and Gothic places of worship. Tyrolean styled houses in various sizes (block, two or three storey) dominate the north and eastern parts that are predominantly situated on the hills and up the mountains. The smaller towns of Kügeldorf, Bernsdorf, Hinterdorf and Rothaus are to be found in neighboring valleys. It is reasonable to say that there exists widespread Brinterberg-chauvinism within the capital and adjacent areas whereby other parts of The Gemeinshaft is looked down upon.

Main exports are violins and critical theory, the latter supplied by the renowned Brinterberg Institute for Social Research. The Gemeinshaft is a deeply conservative society, characterized by Cremeschnitte cakes, large mustaches and repressed sexuality. Some of the Brinterberg School’s most prominent theorists claim that this is likely the only form of society where a truly critical theory could ever emerge, although this is generally regarded as poppycock. National pastimes and preferred sports are Graeco-Roman wrestling, various equestrian disciplines and archery. Football has been played for many years in the valleys below the Horkenheim mountains, but the professionalization of it is recent. A few wealthy enthusiasts founded the Seeberg SuperLiga ten years ago and it has slowly been building momentum and growing in popularity. Currently only five teams compete in the SuperLiga and it is dominated by the two big Brinterberg teams Verein für Bewegungsspiele Brinterberg (VfBB) and Der Sportverein Brinterberg (DSVB).

The national team - nicknamed The Horkenheimers - first entered international competition in the 21st IAC.

A New Beginning for Natkrian Football

After the victory of the U15 World Cup coming home to Natkr, it's got us all wondering: can we do it in senior football? Natkr's senior football national team, making their second appearance in the Independent Associations Championships, are all facing a bunch of intense training and strategic adjustments as they gear up for their first group-stage appearance of the tournament against Poafmersia. Various sources, collected from ReemSports, reveal excitement for the new project and a bunch of tension rising also.

Head Coach Kyes Weah (former CSKA City manager) has been observed by the press conducting indoor sessions, focusing mainly on defensive formations and counter-attacking strategies for Poafmersia and beyond. This is the case due to Poafmersia's superior attacking prowess compared to that of Natkr. Leaked training footage, found on Form before being removed, showed Coach Weah initiating rapid defensive transitions for the "Green for the Blue".

Off the pitch, however, the team is dealing with a MASSIVE injury scare. Wham FC's Parker Murphy, an internal part of the team, reportedly sustained a minor ankle sprain during a scrimmage. While Natkr health staff think he'll be fit for the Poafmersia match, his participation could be unknown. Meanwhile, after the victory of the U15 World Cup, fan popularity in Natkr has increased MASSIVELY without a TAPER. Ticket sales for the Natkrian national team's journey have flown high, with a record broadcast of 9 million predicted. ReemSports predicts a highly contested match, which adds pressure on the Natkrian boys to do great and make a mark. Will Natkr's state of "locking in" be enough to overcome the amazing Poafmersia team? Tune in exclusively on Reem+ to witness history change. *mic drop*

Let’s have fun with it

Style Modifier: +4.2

GK – Elandor Elenion (Rienerrion Town)
A top performer in the domestic league and steadily growing into the keeper they can be on the multiversal stage. Maybe a lacklustre Cup of Harmony with just the single clean sheet but did more than enough to retain the starting position with performances against Aleirave to keep the dream alive.
DF – RB – Nepthys Thoth-Manon (Malakh FC)
A too big for their boots attitude corrected by Apollinaris in the world cup qualifiers saw Thoth-manon lend their attacking prowess from defence to the Cup of Harmony attempt. Defensively suspect and being set up in a more defensive shape based on pre-IAC training camps it will be interesting to see how they fare.
DF – CB – Sigunda Steiner (Altburg Wolves)
Still not an attractive looking player, both physically and in a football sense but a dependable player that is one of the most capped players for the Exultious national team. Siggy as they’re affectionately known is part of the mainstay defensive pairing creating a near telepathic link with Elenion.
DF – CB – Edla Grosslaufer (Dasmahler FC)
Eds has stepped into the breach and shored up any clear defensive concerns. A top domestic performer for Dasmahler with a near 30% clean sheet record for the season who will look to bring that calibre to bear in the upcoming IAC return.
DF – LB – Merrin Greenbottle (Lithrelir Rangers)
A soon to be left winger who is only kept in defence due to the outstanding performance of loops. The newfound threat thanks to the recent Di Bradini poses a lot of promise as part of this youthful energetic set-up.
MF – Rikecos Duskstriker (Zerynthia FC)
One half of the Zerynthian Zephyrs that control the middle of the park, a burly presence to compliment their partner Duskstriker has a keen eye for a ranged effort and has no problem, even relishing, a physical battle to control the centre of the game.
MF – Loruruk Hazeeye (Zerynthia FC)
The Zerynthian adonis, a wizard on the ball. The diminutive Zephyr but no less of a threat. Most adept at running with the ball and creating channels and openings to pull apart a defence no matter how resilient. A crucial part of the Exultious attack when the counter attacking is not as effective.
FW – RW – Sable Gillyflower (Timbery FC)
A classic winger, lightning quick and feet just as fast. A regular face in the national team with as much likelihood to be involved with a goal scoring event as any of the attacking quartet.
FW – LW – Lupold Starkzahn (Lithrelir Rangers)
The main penalty taker for the team who is yet to miss a spot kick. Recently completed a big money move from Gormundi to Lithrelir to carry on playing in division one, this time playing for a top ranked team. A killer threat on the counter with a multitude of assists attributed in the recent CoH.
FW – ST – Aria Vielener (Dasmahler)
A mountain of a forward, the key target and hold up player to distribute play to any support and will then follow up into the box often being in the right place at the right time. A true warrior against centre halfs who will more often than not win the battle.
FW – ST – Gimli Brambleberry (Timbery FC)
The star striker, the top scorer for the national team and captain to boot. An inspiring presence both on and off the field who will lead the team to national glory, the question more when rather than if.

Independent Associations Championship 23

Taxhavn
Tournament Squad

Attacking Modifier: +3.3

Home Colours: Debit Balance Red
Away Colours: Credit Balance Black
Third Colour: Safe Deposit Box Gold

Nickname: The Shillingmen
Formation: Offensively-minded 4-3-2-1 (The Pyramid Scheme) morphing to 5-3-2 and 4-4-2 in certain plays

Taxhavn is a crowded island of 21.4 million people, and most of them are billionaires. There are a few poor millionaires in the north of the island, and a few trillionaires who reside very much in the south. In the east is a big mountain, with a handful of zen masters who have rejected the silver dollar and reside in harmony with nature and their solid gold and diamond-encrusted buddha statues ('buddha' is a corruption of the word 'Búa', the principle deity of Wight). The mountain is called Mount Schilling.

I have probably exaggerated about the number of billionaires, but you get the picture - Taxhavn. I almost guarantee every rotten banker in your country has a second home in St. Bernadine or Oranjestadt or Havn, and some unnumbered accounts in the Oroboros or Sept-Nat or Stadler banks. They might not admit it, but they do. Taxhavn is an island built on piles of money, with launderettes on every corner just washing banknotes 24/7. And recently, lavish spending on football, which - turns out - is a brilliant way to flush through some of those ill-gotten gains.

Determinded to attract the brightest stars and the greatest success to the domestic SteuerLig, the Taxhavn football authority FA-Tax encouraged clubs into spending vast fortunes doling out pension funds to over-the-hill former football stars of the multiverse, and snapping up doe-eyed youths too with insane salary offers and fast cars for 12-year-olds. They aren't so worried about dominating world football - although that would be nice - as making sure they overpay for everything and get that cash rinsed good and proper.

Next on the list was a national team to reward the increasingly frustrated local professionals who are having to fight for their places with a bunch of incomers after better incomes. 'The Shillingmen' are the isle's finest players. And there are actually some good ones, to be fair. After all, thanks to a very close - some might say too close - relationship with the Valley of the River Delte, where a World Cup and an Independents Championship went back in the day. Two of them played in the famous final victory over Tumbra in '95. That's right. Taxhavnites have World Cup winners medals.

The Taxhavn national team enters the Indies for the third consecutive tournament as FA-Tax try to 'grow the brand', 'export the product', 'invest vigorously' and a whole bunch of other business strategies that don't appear to have much to do with actual football, so far as anyone can tell. They are building a national football centre on nearby von Arnold Island 'to create a root and branch tactical identity', and have come up with a new nickname following a ₸X4m (Tax Shillings) contract with a marketing company and are now called The Shillingmen, 'creating a label Taxhavnites can get behind with their famous pecuniary passion'. I could've given them that one for free. But what this all means is, they are quite serious about international football now and see the IAC as a tournament they want to become synonymous with.

The big news ahead of IAC-23 is that national team coach Bradely Kemerer-Lascelles, the Qeubeçois master who made FC Städeli a modern giant of FFI club football, has departed his lucrative hunting grounds in Taxhavn in search of a new challenge - and he will take up a full-time role with the IAC-20 winners Saterun. The move played out over the SteuerLig off-season, with BKL allegedly becoming disillusioned with the Frigates underperformance in the transfer window. Though nothing was said directly, it was an open secret in footballing circles that he was looking to leave the club he transformed over six seasons, and was considering national team options. FA-Tax, meanwhile, had already suggested they were looking for a new direction (already) for the Shillingmen, especially given their poor performance in the last IAC. They did not, by all accounts, make much of a push to keep him at the national headquarters, and now he will feature for one of the nation's indie rivals.

More controversy followed as FA-Tax immediately poached top coach Nelis Fijnwever, such a powerhouse at Standard Lily, who had only just made the switch to new 'superclub' Taxhavn City. Not only that, but he brought several of his coaching team from the Triple-A, as City insist on being nicknamed, including Maxime Hug - to be his assistant - and Leonard Blondell as his senior coach. Taxhavn City are said to be furious with the FA, and legal action is threatened. But by the time IAC-23 comes around during the SteuerLig's winter break, they will have barely armed their ballpoint pens or locked and loaded their legal notepads.

The target for Nelis? Get out of the group, and thus better than their last attempt. The quarter-final appearance in their first entry now seems very long ago.

The Shillingmen

HEAD COACH: Nelis Fijnwever, 45, built a title-winning team at Standard Lily and had a brief spell in charge of new superclub Taxhavn City before realising it wasn't for him
ASSISTANT: Maxime Hug, 41, former player and coach at St. Bernadine Amateur, met Nelis at Taxhavn City and jumped with him into the national team
SENIOR COACH: Leonard Blondell, 46, long-time colleague of Maxime Hug, at both Amateur and Taxhavn City, and now the Shillingmen
TECHNICAL ADVISOR: Climo Coss, 160 & three quarters, who has twice won the World Cup (with Wight & Delte) and most other things besides

Nelis sticks with a strong group of players from the previous IAC with only four new players set to make their debut, including veteran Otto Messner who had the most astonishing season at VF Romainring. Perhaps the most exciting is defensive midfielder Ado van Sambix, who likes to make things interesting despite his rather conservative position in 'the Pyramid Scheme'.

Making way are Hans Cromwell and Merewin Barker, who have suffered as a result of their respective club's poor form in Tijhuis Archimedes and Schwänenclub, the latter being relegated. Merewin has switched domestic clubs for Raven Thöni but the move came too late for the IAC squad. Raul Kopp of Standard Lily has announced his retirment from international football while Septentriennes and Taxhavn legend Pauli Morff has called it a day entirely, and heads off to play luxury yachts and non-competitive tennis at some private members club or three.

Number Crunchers
The Ones To Watch

New additions to the hall of admiration for this cycle's roster - we have Septentriennes' fantastic young keeper Barnaby Flexney emerging as the undisputed number one; and Orchideeën's midfield engineer Ko Horsman, finally stepping up into a starting role. Other jolly good players are also available - Jeroen Blenkers, Reggi Van Buiten and Renni Boom in particular will be disappointed not to be included in this list. Their time will come, surely.

Goalkeepers

Barnaby Flexney
The youngest of the goalkeeping selections for the national team, Barnaby has 'Shillingman Legend' written all over him. He's got an impressive physique, is an acrobatic shot-stopper and joins the modern breed of keepers who can actually play a bit of football. He's been nothing short of brilliant at Septentriennes in the past couple of seasons, answering everything asked of him. If he has a weakness, there seems to be a distinct lack of eccentricity in the young man - a fully reliable and sensible team member who must unsettle his back four with just how little he unsettles them.

Defence

Laurens Seuper (Team Captain)
A cultured centre-half who was immediately spotted by the Deltic talent factory as a potential Representative in their peculiar Home-Away Team selection policy, as part of the away team. After a handful of games he found his time with the Reps limited and was delighted to switch to his home nation when FA-Tax announced it was setting up a national team project, and featured in every game of the last two IAC tournaments. Calm and collected, he is a good reader of the game, cool under pressure. Perhaps looks a little languid and some goalkeepers might want someone in front of them who is willing to hurt strikers first, something he won't do. He would rather dispossess without going to ground, though that does sometimes lead to more pressure when a good old sliding tackle will do the job more efficiently. His calm leadership meant he succeeds the retired Fiete Dällenbach as the nation's team captain. Had grown up in the no-nonsense Orchideeën School of Defense, but now plies his trade with IFCF big-hitters 1912 Stelburg (STL).

Töbi Aerle
Turned out regularly for the Deltic representative team (although not for the victorious finals squad) before switching allegiances to his home country's new national team set-up. A young superstar on the island and a household name already, he came through the same youth ranks as Valentin Fey, but has twice switched clubs - to St. Bernadine Athletic and now the dominant FC Städeli, with a quiet ambition to reach the top. He is an influential key starter for the Shillingmen, leading the defensive side with panache.

V.W. Kampermann
Another youngster in a young defence playing alongside Töbi Aerle, VW is a joy to watch on the pitch, the perfect example of the new demand for defenders to play with intent, out from the back, on the ground, passing stylishly and intercepting attackers with guile rather than strength. Another that was lured to the new national setup from the Deltic camp, he was not selected for the World Cup finals glory team, but has been a mainstay of that camp for some time. He plays his domestic football for big hitters Orchideeën where he already has cult hero status in the back line along with Polarian Aslak Hrafninnsson in the league's meanest defence.

Midfield

Lorin Müngers (Vice Captain)
An all-time crowd favourite at Old Shakerssens, where he came through the youth academy to be a permanent fixture for many years, Lorin is football's Mr. Nice Guy - popular with his team-mates, with the press, with the wider football world, and now with fans of all clubs thanks to his efforts with the embryonic national team. Not to say he's easy going or generous of spirit in-game. A player who will always be in the top two or three for km covered, tackles, interceptions, and pass completions, he is the chief disruptor on the pitch, protecting his defence and frustrating the channels of the opposition's offense.

Valentin Fey
Considered the brightest prospect of Taxhavnite football, Valentin came through the ranks at Raven Thöni and is a perfect wide attacker in any pressing system, coming in from the right to support both attack and midfield, or marauding wide to create havoc on the flanks. Possibly a future coach, he talks as good a game as he plays. He never stops working for the team. Valentin has switched loyalties from the Delts, for whom he played more than forty times, appearing as a starter in the victorious World Cup final of '95. Seeing the likes of Laurens Seuper and Jocki Moroff get contracts in superior leagues, there were fears he could be tempted to leave the SteuerLig, but he seems to have committed to his home league with a record-breaking move this off-season from Raven to Orchideeën.

Jocki Moroff
Unlike Valentin, Jocki used his World Cup winning medal with the Deltic Representatives as a ticket to the multiverse, leaving his comfortable but low-achieving hometown club Old Shakerssens, where he was on a pretty salary that likely isn't being matched further afield, for glories and better challenges in one of the best leagues in the world, the Q-League, where he turns out for Bonneville Wanderers. On the field he plays the opposite side to Valentin, and while his game is similar in approach, he is more physical. Much more physical. Using his large frame and neat foot skills, he's always ready to leave an opponent on the floor - whether that's by turning them inside out, or simply rolling over the top of them.

Ko Horsman
The barnstorming defensive midfielder looks set to succeed Lorin Müngers in the back of the midfield, where he will bring large amounts of energy in an intimidatingly huge frame, some serious sprints, an eye for an interception, and knocking down opponents by both fair means and foul. If Lorin is football's Mr. Nice Guy, the Orchideeën midfielder is football's Wild Mustang. But despite his ever-ready willingness to use muscle and a smattering of high-speed violence to leave something on an opponent, he also happens to be a very competent footballer, good at reading the game, great at inspiring team-mates to try harder. May be too wild for Captain's material, but he is a leader and a warrior.

Attack

Zubi Zuberbühler
One of the most loved of all Taxhavnite players for his passionate play and goalscoring antics, Zubi has been a cult hero for years at cult club Old Shakerssens, where he played alongside Jocki Moroff and the legendary triumvirate defence of Foekers, Müngers and Uunks. The team has largely broken up now with Emiel Uunks retired and Jocki off the Q-League, and Zubi broke Shaker hearts by moving to top team FC Städeli, who have got themselves a ready-made legend. Never selected for the Deltic team, he comes to the new national setup as a 'pure Taxhavnite', and that will only increase his status on the island. With The Frigates he's won almost everything, including two FFI League of Victors titles, and is looking to have a similar impact with the Shillingmen.

Rik Dam
Most everyone drives a rock'n'roll car, and drives it too fast, on the Isle of Taxhavn. Most everyone's got a yacht, or at least a share in one. High speed rides, expensive cocktails, stimulating powders, late night parties, wild music, a strong lack of inhibitions and a lot of unconvential sex... it kind of goes with the territory, being a billionaire. But nobody does rock'n'roll like Rik Dam, football's wildest forward. He's a 350kph-man in everything he does, including running over defenders. There is no-one stronger, faster, or more furious. 'The biggest handful in the SteuerLig,' says his former coach at St. Bernadine Accountants, Pirmin Wägeli. And he probably doesn't just mean on the field of play. His training ground antics, his dressing room antics, his clubhouse antics are mostly triple-X rated and not suitable for repetition here. 'One day he's just gonna explode,' says his Taxhavn City strike partner, Nigel Avery, 'and that will be the end of Rik Dam.' But in the meantime, everyone else watch out.

*Bold indicates Starting XI

Preferred Lineup

After Kameron Boyd's NT retirement, the SFF looked to change things up. That's how they landed on Bradely Kemerer-Lascelles, who guided Taxhavn club FC Städeli to two successive FFI LoV titles, to name just a few of his accomplishments. Boyd had already won the A Liga twice by the time the SFF appointed him eight years ago, but this is truly Saterun's first superstar head coach. Things were always going to change once BKL took over, and although the starting XI has only seen one change (Sienna goes in for Demare) the rest of the squad has seen significant shifting. In comes Sülimein Kalemanu, Eli Cook, Darius Hammel, Masoud Shain, and Kristofer Bohler. Of the new additions, Kalemanu is especially exciting as he managed to score 10 goals for Urrhed FC in the Chromatik Red League at just 16 years old. Although he is now just 17, any player who can do that warrants a place in the squad. A lot of these new players are coming in due to their impressive domestic seasons, and only time will tell if Kemerer-Lascelles made the right call with the shake-up. The SFF gave him a beginning two-cycle contract, although that could be terminated early if results aren't up to code. Hopefully, though, the Qeubecios can bring Saterun to new heights.

Calgasia Football Team
Official roster for the 98th World Cup

General Information

Nation: Calgasia
Trigram: CGS
Nicknames: Die Adler (The eagles), Unsere Mädchen und Jungen(Our Boys and Girls), the Black Eagles
Motto: Vorwärts! (Forward!)
Association: Calgasische Fussball-Bund - CFB
Head Coach: Hugo Sedler
Captain: Gloria Renner
Most caps: Jan Novák (23)
Top scorer: Jan Novák (16)
Record (W/D/L): 10-11-7

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. Die Adlers play for the second time the IAC, after its first international experiences, having played the WC98 Qualifiers, the IAC 22 and the Baptism of Fire 85. However, the results were bittersweet, displaying good football and getting some positive results, but failing to qualify to the knockout stages in the last group stage matchday in both cases. The last BoF was especially painful for the Calgasians, as the team managed not to lose in any of the four group matches, but that was not enough to qualify to the semifinals.

Despite this setback, the fans will be ready to gather in pubs, squares and friends and family houses to cheer for their beloved team, Unsere Mädchen und Jungen, "Our Boys and Girls" Nobody expects the Adlers to qualify to the knockout stages, but the team is expected to perform and play well.

Regarding the roster, there will be some changes compared to prior tournaments, especially in defence. The squad will consist mostly of players from the two teams from the capital, the newly crowned champions Goldstadt SK and second-placed Club Hungária, with contributions from this season's surprise Zillertal SV, who are contributing players to the national team for the first time.

Roster

Legend:
Number -- Name -- Age -- Position -- Club
Starters in bold

Goalkeepers

1. Josef Kaltenbrunner -- 31 -- GK -- Kaiserbad Social Club
13. Josef Sloup -- 30 -- GK -- Melperk Sport Verein
26. María Kálnoky -- 28 -- GK -- Club Hungária

No changes for this line. Kaltenbrunner, Sloup and Kálnoky will be the goalkeepers for this team. Kaltenbrunner will be the starter. The 31 year old player from Kaiserbad has shown to be the most consistent keeper over the seasons, being a reliable player. His performance during the past tournaments was solid, not being responsible of big mistakes, and saving when he had to. His prowess with penalties is his weak spot. Sloup and Kálnoky are way more spectacular in their saves, and are fan favourites, but both are prone to sudden nerve-cracking mistakes, thus relegating them to the bench.

Defenders

2. Antonin Hojer -- 27 -- RB -- Melperk Sport Verein
3. Stefan Andris -- 25 -- CB -- Goldstadt Sport Kreis
4. Martin Kargel -- 24 -- CB -- Phönix Sport Verein
14. Károly Hájos -- 23 -- LB -- Club Hungária
15. Lorenz Nussbaum -- 33 -- CB -- Zillertal SV
19. Jakob Schulz -- 22 -- CB -- Zillertal SV
20. Nico Dorn -- 26 -- RB -- Fussball-Club Bohunice
24. Mía Wallner -- 25 -- CB -- Club Hungária
25. Milos Nágy -- 28 -- CB -- Club Hungária

The weakest line in the team, with some criticism in the air after their performance in the BoF 85, where they conceded some late goals that precented the Adlers to get more wins (and eventually failing to qualify to semis). The defence is dominated by the young pair Andris and Kargel, with 26 and 23 years respectively, with the addition of the defender of the year, Nussbaum, who brings a much needed experience to this line. The young centrebacks have an excellent ball control and passing, and their height makes them to be very safe in crosses and set pieces. The left flank in the 3-5-2 formation is for Károly Hajós. The 23 y/o Hungária player is one of the fastest players in the tournament, able to dash through lines and with a very effective left foot for crosses or set pieces, but sometimes struggles with concentration, making him a vulnerable spot for the other teams.
In the bench, Antonin Hojer is a reliable player, being more defence oriented and able to play in both flanks. His tactical sense will be crucial in a team that needs more experience in the multiverse stage. Centrebacks Nágy and Schulz will bring intimidation, strenght and centimetres to the defence, while Pálffy will bring speed and energy for the flanks. Mía Wallner will be a jack-of-all-trades, being able to play in several positions.

Midfielders

5. Béla Voss -- 26 -- CM -- Club Hungária
6. Max Bohren -- 26 -- CM -- Phönix Sport Verein
7. Xaver Webern -- 28 -- LW -- Goldstadt Sport Kreis
8. György Biró -- 25 -- CAM -- Club Hungária
11. Zoe Urbánková -- 27 -- RW, CAM -- Goldstadt Sport Kreis
12. Emil Sedlácek -- 22 -- CAM, W -- Melperk Sport Verein
16. Franz Holmeiner -- 28 -- CM -- Goldstadt Sport Kreis
17. Christine Cieszyn -- 27 -- CM -- Melperk Sport Verein
18. Karel Pesek -- 24 -- CM -- Fussball-Club Bohunice
23. Gábor Szabó -- 29 -- ST, RW -- Club Hungária

The Adlers midfield will be dominated in the centre by Vass, Bohren and Szabó. The three players will control the flow of the game while maintaining a great workrate both in defence and offence phases. Szabó returns to the starting 11, and will take over the set pieces, corners and free kicks. In the right flank, we will find Webern. Their unpredictability when they have the ball possession (sometimes running for a cross, or cutting to the middle and combining with Sedlácek or Novák, or shooting) will make them constant threat for rivals.
In the bench, the coach will find plenty of options to choose. From the defensive-minded CDMs Holmeiner and Ciesszyn, to the more creative and explosive Urbanková, Sedlácek and Biró. Do not miss the chance to see Sedlacek; the CAM of Bohemian origin has, with only 21 years, one of the brightest futures in multiverse football. His ability to create chances for the teammates and his box-to-box approach to the game will make him a key player.
The roster is completed with Pesek, who has earned a reputation of being a reliable, no-nonsense player over the years playing for Bohunice.

Forwards

9. Jan Novák -- 24 -- ST -- Melperk Sport Verein
10. Gloria Renner -- 27 -- ST -- Goldstadt Sport Kreis
22. Zoey Moser -- 28 -- ST -- Kaiserbad Social Club
21. Alex Gassenbauer -- 30 -- ST -- Fussball-Club Bohunice

Calgasia's chances lies in the shoulders of two players, Jan Novák and Gloria Renner. The former has established himself as one of the best players in the country with only 24 years, combining a fast and strong 1,85cm body with a great sense of the game, being able to combine with teammates and finding open spaces. Captain Renner, considered the best player in the country, will start in the right flank, with a similar role to Webern: disrupting the rivals with his unpredictability. In the bench Zoey Moser and Alex Gassenbauer will await an opportunity, after being two of the best players during the season.

Starting 11

Style: +2

Tactics

Calgasia proposes a positive style, slightly more focused on attack than defence. The formation will be a 3-5-2, the coach has decided to switch to this flexible
formation, where the wingers drop down in defence to form a line of 5 defenders, while in attack they move up the flanks to support attacks, especially after stealing the ball. Key points:
-Wing play: true to national tradition, the Adlers will carry much of the attacking play down the flanks, looking to generate superiority or for the full-back to double the winger to generate space.
-Great physicality: another typical aspect of Calgasia is the prevalence of physical play over individual technique. Expect strong, fast players, able to launch quick counterattacks, and deadly for rivals if given enough space
-Nastier: defence is not the strong point of the team, so coach Sedler has encouraged the players to bring out their toughest side to try to compensate for the defensive fragility. Expect meaner defences, tougher style of play and more bookings.
-Dangerous set plays: Calgasian football puts a strong emphasis on tactics and strategy. Expect tactical corner kicks where the tall Calgasian players can gain an advantage over rivals.
-Not-so-great creativity: Calgasia can struggle a bit against tight defences, when there are few open spaces. The team thrives with open spaces, so playing against a very defensive-minded team can make them suffer. The team relies heavily on Renner, Szabó or Sedlácek to create goal chances when this situation happens.

Qualifiers Schedule

MD1: vs Oscioru, 2nd March
MD2: bye
MD3: vs Britonisea, 4th March
MD4: vs Valentine Z, 5th March
MD5: vs Aphrilia, 6th March

A tough group for Die Adlers. Powerhouses Aphrilia, Valentine Z and Britonisea will pose a formidable challenge for our team, limiting the options to qualify for the next stages. Oscioru, although having a lower rank, will also be a difficult rival. The matchday 1 will be key to grab points quickly.

Here’s to many more independence and self-reliance of the Valentians! A nation that is in its own universe and left alone for the most parts.

Defense of a Dynasty

HUElavia enters IAC 23 as reigning champions with many strong rivals vying for a chance to take the title.

Once more, HUElavia's co-favorite sporting tournament has returned: The 23rd Independent Associations Championship. HUElavia comes in with much motivation and aspirations for yet a deep run, but with what one could say the most stacked list of participants yet. Los Amarillos/Os Amarelos return to the nation where these runs essentially began: Recuecn. Despite the two blips of Group Stage exits at IAC 3 and IAC 5, it was IAC 8 held in this very country where HUElavia began to really grow as a footballing nation. Going 0-0-2 to start out to an amazing comeback to win out and make the knockouts, taking out former rivals Lisander, followed by the historic 3-0 victory over Kelssek, a penalty shootout win over SRS, before falling short to hosts Recuecn in the Final. This would be the first of the 7 IAC Finals Los Amarillos/Os Amarelos had played, as well as the first of four consecutive Finals where HUElavia would fall short each painful, agonizing time. But, such runs made this team become one of the faces of the IAC and made them an opponent to be respected.

Now, the team is back right at this team's origins. Recuecn is a beautiful and wonderful nation that has supposedly been filmed by HUElavian great Antoine Brousseau, where he tasted much of the great dishes (especially the raclette) and took in the sights of the country. Speaking of Brousseau, the dish of Medianoche seemed to have caught interest among the Recuecnians and has seemed to be a modestly popular dish imported from visiting and immigrant HUElavians. It's a nation that Los Amarillos/Os Amarelos has faced off against in many high profile games from the IAC to World Cup Playoffs. But, it is not Recuecn whom the team will be facing off against. This time around, HUElavia has been put into Group D, in what is being dubbed as this tournament's Group of Death. The groups consists of HUElavia, rising talent of Natkr, tricky Delaclava, returning Sel Appa, and co-most title holder Poafmersia. Two rematches and two wild cards. A very complicated group that the team cannot underestimate.

All of HUElavia's matches in the Group Stage are to be played at Champ de Sport in Renwyll. The Franc name has a militaristic connotation, translating essentially to a Sporting Battlefield. Truly a fitting name and venue for HUElavia's attempt to not just defend their title, but to stand alone at the top. Due to being placed as the Team 1 of Group D, HUElavia will not begin until Matchday 2, but it will be a nonstop run from there. There is no breaks for this team, only the relentless pursuit for that coveted title. Out of these 8 groups of 5 teams, only 16 will automatically advance, sending home 3/5ths of the tournament after 4 matchdays. Most notably, there is a pretty big crunch time of matches, with 4 playing each day at varying times starting at noon from local time.

Coach Ignacio Casillas, despite the 3 losses, save for the lone surviving Group Stage win, at World Cup 98, still is given faith and support in managing the National Team. Much of the team from World Cup 98 and IAC 22 are still present on the team, albeit with some major retirements. Captain Alvarez and Vice Captains Coentrao-Nascimento and Dias Canchon had announced their retirements from the sport, leaving pretty massive holes in the team for how much they did for the team and country. Brandt, Wahle and Mantovani have been entrusted to fill in their spots and roles, with promising young talents coming in for this team. Uchee, the hero from Cup of Harmony 89, had torn an ACL halfway into the H-League Season, and has been replaced by the promising starlet of Arruda Barbosa, who seems to be his natural successor with his scoring and dribbling abilities. Pazarella, Alcabu, and Arias are another set of young talents coming onto this roster, in particular Pazarella being a very promising defender who may be a stalwart for the future. Of course, many great modern talents are called up once more. Ancel in goal, Miyamoto at fullback, Kim and Schmidt running the midfield and Milano being the Captain and main offensive reference once more.

Coach Casillas was quoted saying "This is a very strong tournament we're heading into and we cannot take our 4 opponents lightly. These are all teams that mean business and there are no favors for anyone here. We cannot have another tournament like what we had two years ago at World Cup 98, we know we can do better and make a strong run. We owe it to our fans, to the country and to ourselves. We intend on taking it a game at a time and learn our opponents well. We want to play with respect, but with the intent to go for a great and historic run. And this roster I've selected, I feel this offers a great level of youth and experience, which is one of the main identities I want this country to be known for." Fans are coming in droves to Recuecn, looking to cheer on the team in yet another IAC run. Jerseys and scarves are coming off the shelves in all sizes, the official IAC 23 sticker album and trading cards are hot items throughout HUElavia, and many watch parties are being prepared, with some football teams throughout the country offering their stadiums and venues to hold the public for a low fee of entry.

This time around, one can't say there's a clear favorite to win it all. HUElavia are the defending champions, finally getting the elusive 3rd title and tying with Poafmersia, but still hungry for more and with a roster that can go the distance. Recuecn, the host who won their first IAC title as hosts at IAC 8, have recently won Cup of Harmony 90 and have expectations to go for a CoH-Regional double. Crpostran had a miracle run at World Cup 98 that fell short at the Final, but have become one of the best in the multiverse in such a short amount of time. Drawkland, who has been runners-up for three consecutive major football tournaments, has a roster that could possibly break their ugly streak and finally bring home their 2nd and long-awaited IAC title. Grand Exultia, winners of Baptism of Fire 85 in HUElavia, have a dark horse chance to make a deep run and make some noise. Adab, Poafmersia, Indusse, Omerica, and Saterun, all former champions, can pose a massive threat to the main contenders, even if things may have been more rough recently. This may set up to be an absolute dogfight, and one for the history books. Here's to hoping this can be another memorable and historic run for our Amarillos/Os Amarelos. It's time to dive into the fireworks!

The only slim freude Martin had on diesen long days that never seemed zu enden was the very vielversprechende season he was having with Ogliastro Cilento on the FussballManager X3000 game because he had brought them up all the way from 4. Lega und was now on the abgrundsrande of clinching the Trophäe in 1. Lega and bringing them zu the Meister Liga for the erste time ever welche would be the höhepunkt of the considerable amount of zeit he had put into zusammenzustellen a squad perfectly suited for his bevorzugten strategy which he called “The Bohrkopf Pyramid” or alternatively “Das Exploding Tannenbaum” which war really just a very tightly knitted 4-3-2-1 formation but it worked sehr gut and was viel effective und while Martin for the meisten part limited sich to simulate a game or zwei a week he now gepflügt through what remained and in the end he triumphierte and the bildschirm sagte him that they were finally nummer eins the Meister der Meisters.

It was supposed to be pure Glückseligkeit! Freude! Heiterkeit! Entzücken! Vergnügen! Positiver Reiz! But Nein! He only felt hollow! Hohl! Leer! Cannular! Höhlenartig! Tiefliegend! Fistelförmig! Fistelförmig! Fistelförmig! The depths of his verzweifeln was bottomless! Unaufrichtig! Bedeutungslos! Vertieft! Hallend! Klingend! Eingefallen! Röhrenförmig! Röhrenförmig! Röhrenförmig! Und he even lit some Bengalisches Feuer by the fenster in his apartment to celebrate and the plumes of rauch could be seen all the way from Gneisbänderung Platz in the süden parts of town! But still he could feel nichts of the freude he was chasing and had been erwartend!

It was all sehr tragisch.

The Crpostranian Football Association
presents
The Sapphire Strikers
for
the 23rd Independent Associations Championship - Reçueçn

And back! After a period of celebration across the isles of Crpostran & Karma, the team returns to the regional tournament with high hopes following it's massive success at the recently concluded 98th World Cup, where it ended up as the runner-up following a 1-0 loss to Flavovespia. Dubbed "The Golden Generation" by many in the country, the team adapted to new manager Ivan's tactics very well, evident by it's recent run (1 loss in the last 25 games). Giving many reserve members some much needed rest, the CFA (Crpostranian Football Association) has decided to send a slightly smaller squad to Reçueçn. Thanks to it's recent performances, the team's ranking has also seen a boost, hitting both of its personal WCC & IAC rankings (4th & 3rd, respectively). However, no team can be taken lightly this time. Drawn into Group C alongside the former Edsmon colony close to Karma, Wedich, Sonnelian regular & the second seed in the group, "The Elder Lands", rising power & the current BoF champions Grand Exultia, & Of the Golden Harp. Overall, a slightly challenging group. How will Ivan's tactics fare this time? Can the team break the Ro16 curse? Kits, roster & other information given below.

by **Beefsteak City** » Sat Mar 01, 2025 4:15 am

NationState’s favorite dystopia is back—the number of half-assed retirements needed to put the humble metropolis of Beefsteak City away for good has yet to be discovered. The tiny, four-city-block-square nation is a haven for industry and commerce, but not much else (read: residents). Its most famous ~~attraction~~ feature is a shopping center that runs the entire width of the city (all four blocks of it).

Beefsteak City is so full of factories and stores that until just recently, it had a population of just one (1): Mayor, CEO, and President, Tom Ato. Realizing that the nation would need at least eleven inhabitants to compete in the Baptism of Fire, Mayor Ato appointed City Clerk Assistant Jerome Salisbury to organize the sporting effort—and made it clear his job was on the line.

Salisbury rounded up his squad from among Beefsteak City’s employees and executives, and is forcing them all to live in the city’s only other house for the duration of the tournament in order for them to qualify as Beefsteak City nationals and fulfill WCC regulations. Below is the roster he put together.

GK - Jack Price - 62yo - CIO, Hawkeye Systems - Price makes a living on keeping information secure from hostile militaries, and now he’ll try to keep his net secure from hostile strikers.

LB - Blaine Maddox - 60yo - CEO, Maddox Holdings - Maddox' keen eye for investment means he always knows when to strike. Unfortunately he times his tackles less precisely.

CB - Nancy Dykes - 52yo - Senior Vice President of Marketing, Darkwebs - Dykes, a former secret operative of unspecified origin, can hang with the boys both in the boardroom and at the tavern after work, although her skills on the ball are lacking.

Also LB - Michael Maddox - 28yo - Vice President of Finance, Maddox Holdings - Mikey's always been a nepo baby, both at his daddy's company, and on the soccer field.

LM - Rick Porterhouse - 52yo - COO, Ribeye Group - Porterhouse has strong opinions on how things should operate. That’s his job–just not on the soccer field. But someone forgot to tell him.

CM - Darren Buffitt - 99yo - CEO, Burkshire Hasaway - Buffitt's long career history of offering sage hedge fund management advice has earned him the respect of investors... and a spot on the team.

CM - Chuck T. Bone - 51yo - Vice President of Operations, Ribeye Group - Organizational dynamics at Ribeye Group have always been murky, and the overlap between Bone’s role there and his teammate Porterhouse’s has always caused confusion. Unfortunately they don’t see eye-to-eye and their acrimonious arguments have carried over into the locker room.

RM - John Collier - right wing - 30yo - Vertical 5 Axis Mill Operator, Stanley-Taylor Steel - Collier works 6 10-hour shifts a week making turbines for axial compressors. He doesn't really have the vacation time to make it to practice for the soccer team, but he is still the best player.

LW - Curt Fargo - 46yo - Partner, Adams Schwab & Melzer LLP - Fargo picked up the sport again by coaching his kids in the suburban youth soccer league, and now that he can get his lowly associates to do his dirty work, he may have the time to hit his peak.

ST - Carey Leclerc - 41yo - Administrative Assistant, Beefsteak City Mayor's Office - Beefsteak City's old striker, Emily Pierce, turned out not to be a citizen and wound up going off to Delaclava for college anyway. Unable to find anyone else to replace her, Mayor Ato has forced his assistant to start sleeping under his desk to qualify as a resident so he can play on the team.

RW - Aaliyah Jones - 47yo - CFO, Byrd Manufacturing - Nothing has gotten in the way of Jones’ very successful career, until now: Byrd Manufacturing's CEO has mandated an executive training program for the leadership team, which required at least one of the execs to join a “regular sports opportunity” for “work-life balance.”

HOW THE VISAYAN BULLS GOT ITS NICKNAME
by Roberto Salas
In preparation for IAC 23 in Reçueçn

The main tifo of La Banda del Toro in home games will be displayed in Genéve

What's the relation between a bull and a national team you ask? Here's the reason why the national team had the bull as mascot, and as a nickname. It started in 1924, when the national team is playing with South American sides in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. And they have to learn their lessons from them before competing at the Far Eastern Games in 1925 at Iloilo. When the Visayan team in azure shirts and blue shorts play, an Uruguayan journalist named Carolino Pizzi described the national team's style of running and defense 'is that of a bull'. And when the team is having a hard time to choose a nickname until Norman Lumagsao took a newspaper, and saw Pizzi's report on the game against Uruguay Onward, their rivals from before, saw the description, and the nickname stuck after Lumagsao showed the report to the English coach Elijah Watkinson and said, "that could be your team's unofficial name." And so, the Bulls are now ramming against Brazilian, Uruguayan, and Argentinean teams and then the whole football tournament in the Far Eastern Games at their home soil just like bulls, and still run and defend like bulls ever since. And is also considered an 'unofficial lucky charm' of the team, alongside the official lucky charm and the nation's patron saint, Sto. Niño de Visayas. Nowadays, they were known in the media as "Toros Visayas" (Visayan Bulls) in the marketing era of the 90s until today.

Nation Information
Full Name: Fri Stat av Richelieu Øy
Capital: Sankt Hans Havn or Port Saint-Jean
Demonym: Richelois or Richelisk
Nickname: Bears

Short Nation History:

Île de Richelieu (formerly known as Jan Mayen Island) was discovered by Dutch explorers early in the 17th century and served as a whaling base until it was abandonned. France claimed the island in the 19th century and renamed it Île de Richelieu (Richelieu Island) but the island's jurisdiction was finally given to Norway. The French speaking majority, led by the clergy, declared the independence of Île de Richelieu in 1948.

However, in winter 2024-25, during the Independents Championship 20, the nation was the theater of a military Coup d'État made by the Nasjonal Patriotisk Front av Richelieu Øy (NPFRO) and it's leader, Ragnhild Østerberg. Former Cardinal of Île de Richelieu, Jean-René De la Sablonnière, his wife and his older son, Jean-William De la Sablonnière, an 18 years old professional football player, all died in the Coup d'État. Many French speaking Richelois fled the nation and dispersed themselves all over the multiverse.

STADIUM

Adab City Stadium, the pride and joy of Adabian football, was completed in 1940. Located in the northern part of Adab City, the stadium was able to accommodate 40,000 people at the time of its opening. Renovations in 1978 made it an all-seater stadium and expanded its capacity to 55,350. Later it increased to 75,000 following upgrades in 2009-10 and then 76,500 after another upgrade in 2019. It is currently home to the Adabian national football team and Adab City FC.

TACTICS AND FORMATION
The team will use 4-3-2-1, the "Christmas tree" formation, with an emphasis on gegenpressing – immediately working to take back possession after losing the ball and launching a quick counterattack before the opponent can take the initiative. Any opposition players with the ball will find themselves swarmed and cut off quickly. The orientation towards gegenpressing has been offered as evidence of Rashid Abbas’ increasing influence as he seeks to modernize the team in his capacity as assistant manager.

RP PERMISSIONS
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers Yes
Choose scoring events: Yes
Godmod scoring events: Yes
Make substitutions: Yes

First clean sheet: 6. Ralsalin 2-0 StrayaRoos — World Cup 98 qualification (2nd Ralsalien clean sheet)

Maybe he is not the only good goalkeeper in a whole country, but he is still the main one.

#21  GK Riku Maiyenkar - age 26 - 198 cm - 1 December - Kaide - Rockies Internatonal FC 

Debut: 4. Ralsalin 1-0 Poafmersia — World Cup 98 qualification 
First clean sheet: 4. Ralsalin 1-0 Poafmersia — World Cup 98 qualification (1st Ralsalien clean sheet)

Mayenkar went from playing against cows and pigs in a village to helping the national team reach the quarterfinal of the Cup of Harmony and playing in a foreign club.

#15  GK Mikalai Handinyu - age 22 - 191 cm - 23 November - Dzin - Zillertal SV (Calgassia)

Tarmo Ritsar, who was more the motivator rather then coach, had retired from the national team at the age of 41. Mikalai Handinyu is going to have good old experience of being on a Ralsalien bench.

#2  LB Wilhelm Meine - age 33 - 196 cm - 16 April - Mariengard - Spartak Rinkarwar

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification

Recently, Meine visited his first head coach Valdis Handhreen at his home city of Mariengard. He gave Handhreen a present — a Ralsalien shirt that he wore during the victorious match against Zwangzug in the Cup of Harmony.

#30 LB/CB Makar Rantika - age 22 - 187 cm - 15 October - Nirupadki - Spartak Rinkarwar

If Makar Rantika theoretically would be the son of current Kanmerin Lodsen (foreign minister) Akindzin Kurt, he would be called Makar Kurt. Wait... There's no joke anymore. Where the fuck is Kurt Rosengarten?

#3  CB Oleg Shindeberg - age 30 - 186 cm - 5 August -  Rinkan - a team in Girinatha Empire. Which? We don't know now. 

Debut: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification

He did alright in the Toluiwan league, but that league ceased to exist, and now, the new adventures await.

#17 CB Dhidhen Tõru  - age 24 - 192 cm - 17 June - Rinkan - Dasein

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification

Tõru just wants to leave the Ralsalien league as soon as possible and play in the foreign club, but recieved no offerings as for now. It making him sad, and we hope that this situation will not cause problems in his national team performance.

#4 CB/LB Aivars Suta - age 27 - 187 cm - 14 May - Suurejaan - 1. FC Shinnik Mariengard

Debut: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification

He still supports Grandmaster Dhidhen and hates Dhidhen Tõru for making fun of him.

#23 CB Ostap Mungain-Dehane - age 31 - 172 cm - 1 October - Rohkaal - SC Ralsalien Circus

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification

Today Ostap got up exactly at 11:34:03, but then turned his alarm clock off and slept for another 35 minutes. The overcast weather made him sleepy.

#5  RB Viktor Aniko - age 29 - 178 cm - 2 September - Rinkan - Skonto Rinkan  - VICE-CAPTAIN 

Debut: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification
First goal: 6. Ralsalin 2-0 StrayaRoos — World Cup 98 qualification (1st Ralsalien goal in match, 4th Ralsalien goal)

After all successes that Aniko had with Ralsalien national team, he became even more appreciated and loved by fans.

#14 RB Andrey Bougakov - age 25 - 183 cm - 29 June - Kaisur - Spartak Rinkarwar

Debut: 25. Ralsalin 0-1 Edsmontik — Pre- IAC 23 friendly

Another new call up from von Niermann. Bougakov had decent 23 minutes of the game in his debut in a friendly against Edsmontik, but the question is: Will he not shit his pants in official matches?

#6  CM Andrejs Astafjevs - age 25 - 182 cm - 11 March - Dartenpal - Kyethas Rivermen FC  

Debut: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification

I hope that this 0-9 defeat from Kanmer in 2018 was completely forgotten for him.

#8  CM Kevin Heen - age 30 - 174 cm - 25 January - Rinkan - SC Ralsalien Circus 

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification
First goal: 9. Ralsalin 1-0 Delitai (8th Ralsalien goal)

He is concidered the best player of SC Ralsalien Circus, so Kevin's club teammates are usually joking that he is not just a clown, but the entire fucking circus. I actually don't know what else to write about him, so the actual clown is me.

#12 CM/AM Randin Kirtiman Asier - age 26 - 191 cm - 21 November - Rathenburg - Dasein 

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification
First Goal: 8. Darkmania 1-2 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification (1st goal in match, 7th Ralsalien goal)

Kirtiman Asier slightly improved his communitcaton skills after international voyages.

#18 CM Aristarkh Diogen Veerman - age 33 - 181 cm - 7 November - Kagepara - IFK Kagepara 03

Debut: 4. Ralsalin 1-0 Poafmersia — World Cup 98 qualification

"The Patriot of Kagepara" currently have the best time of his life, as IFK Kagepara 03 finally plays in the Ralsalien Highest League.

#45 CM Peeter Ainwal - age 31 - 176 cm - 3 September - Seigu - Ranpal

Debut: 19. Ralsalin 2-2 Bears Armed  — Cup of Harmony 90

Oh, look, he is still in the team. Hehehehe...

#7 LW Dietrich von Erlaid - age 28 - 178 cm - 30 October - Rasinku - Dasein - CAPTAIN

Debut: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification
First goal: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification (1st Ralsalien goal in match, 1st Ralsalien goal)

Von Erlaid still stays the best Ralsalien national team player and the best scorer.

#9 LW/LM Reiko Titov - age 26 - 189 cm - 16 June - Rinkan - Skonto Rinkan

Debut: 19. Ralsalin 2-2 Bears Armed  — Cup of Harmony 90

Who the hell is Reiko Titov? Ralsalien Highest League winner and the man who scored in the national cup final, although his team lost.

#10 RW Kosma Minsen-Dwarasen - age 22 - 185 cm - 29 September - Rinkan - free agent  

Debut: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification
First goal: 1. Ralsalin 2-1 Banija — 17th Summer Olympics qualification (2nd Ralsalien goal in match, 2nd Ralsalien goal)

During his time in The Kytler Peninsulae, Minsen-Dwarasen got relegated from their highest league TWICE. At first with Vengife Town, and a season later, with Icenbrook Town. A very Ralsalien thing. Still, Minsen-Dwarasen' s mental health is absolutely alright after those upsets, and he says that even finishing last is better than playing in Ralsalien Highest League.

#20 RW/RM Mungain Sengendwara - age 24 - 186 cm - 18 July - Kõo - SC Ralsalien Circus

Debut: 5. Natkr 1-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification
First goal: 12. Ralsalin 1-0 Natkr — World Cup 98 qualification (15th Ralsalien goal)

The brain of the team read 7 books during Cup of Harmony, more than one per match.

#19 RW Nikolai Tikhonov - age 25 - 170 cm - 11 October - Ralsiman - Rotor Hrindene

Debut: 22. Vaishnavaria 0-3 Ralsalin — Cup of Harmony 90

Last season, during the Highest League match against Randhom 06, Tikhonov saw that a dog peed right on the football field.

#11 CF Kasyan Menon - age 18 - 172 cm - 27 February - Kogeru - Dasein  

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification
First goal: 4. Ralsalin 1-0 Poafmersia — World Cup 98 qualification (3rd Ralsalien goal)

This man only turned 18, but already has more than 20 caps for the team. He is still naive and thinks that you can do everything if you will just believe in yourself. Wait, this shit actually worked in the Cup of Harmony for Ralsalin.

#16 CF Gunthers Blagonadeždins - age 26 - 178 cm - 23 August - Ainasen - Pyathora Mariners FC 

Debut: 3. TJUN-ia 5-0 Ralsalin — World Cup 98 qualification

The surname Blagonadeždins means "of the good hope". And look, Ralsalin actually got many bright moments, not especially from Gunthers, but still bright.

#77 CF Nikita Gokio - age 21 - 176 cm - 31 May - Rinkan - Skonto Rinkan

Debut: 18. Indusse 1-0 Ralsalin — Pre- CoH 90 friendly

Thanks to his wonderful season in the Highest league, where he become the champion and the best scorer, Gokio recieved a second chance from Seibold von Niermann.

Keep An Eye On:
Elterhad DER-STOIUBEN

der-Stoiuben has recently signed for FC Städeli, a club in Taxhavn that's given him some nice things to make him look rich.
With his crazy goalkeeping in the World Cup, and strong performance in the 2031 FDVL season, this summer, we'll see what Elterhad does in Recuecn.
Elterhad is a sweeper keeper, making confident moves outside of the box.
He grabbed second place with his team, Lersterviige Arkvlakken in the FDVL, and it looks like his skills are really improving.

Stadium

Information
The Karmic Republic of Edsmontik is located in the very Northeastern tip of Karma, bordering the East Karman Ocean.
It is home to approximately 197 million people, which mostly live in the densely populated cities of Touve, Woodhill, Yaneu, and more.
The Edsmon population is diverse, full of people from every corner of Karma and other regions around the multiverse.
People commonly come to the nation to witness the ice-cold winters in Skejiver and Northeviige-Tretovikenhanz, the beautiful beaches of the coastal cities, and the massive sports events that range from stock car racing to football/soccer and handball.

Being so far north, the summers are mild temperatures, barely going past 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmest areas.
Winters can be freezing, especially up in Skejiver and N.T., with temperatures dropping as low as -7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sports have had a long history in the nation, beginning as far back as the early 1700s when Vdes, Lunsfjall, and Taya-Trosi were planning to unify.
Sports boomed during this time, with people looking for ways to entertain themselves.
And eventually, when Edsmontik was formed, the nations combined their sports into leagues and competitions.

Touve Suberarenae

Located in southeastern Touve in Austrankank, the Touve Suberarenae is the World Cup's Edsmon stadium.
Looking at its former shell just last year, what it fits now is simply not able to be compared to.
Edsmontik has done a lot; and they'll be showing it through their new and first 100,000 seats stadium.
Following the Suberarenae will soon be every other major stadium- to possibly house 75000-90000 fans each.
The new Suberarenae is built partially into the ground and will be Touve Tajhav's home stadium starting the 2031 season.
It is estimated that 100,870 people will be able to sit in this stadium.
