The Red League enters a landmark 25th season - the 35th season of professional football in Chromatika as a whole. Since IFCF 14 twelve cycles ago, the Red League has been the league with the highest coefficient in the multiverse, but it wasn't until last cycle that Crossroads became the very first Chromatik team to win the Champions' League. Just recently, Chromatika translated into the Prime Material Plane in the Rushmori subregion of Pavola. With threats abounding, changes made, and the slow march of time inevitably occurring, how do each teams' prospects look headed into the new season?

There is no denying the way that Crossroads is rolling right now. Gunnar Skeggestad, the Squornshelan legend who led the Crusaders to their very first Chromatik title, and then a double, and then the Champions' League title, left atop the mountain; and the search for a new Manager ended with Crpostranian Ivan Bakočević, a man more than two decades younger who has experience at both the club and national levels of Management. Having led the team on it's dream run to both the finals of the World Cup and the Independent Associations Championship in the same cycle, he will try to cut his teeth in the Red League. Most of the title-winning squad remains - and the only change is a massive one, the acquisition of Kamijiro international Keigo Nakaji from Tihon United for a hefty sum of money (20 million NSD). A team with five Chromatik National Team players on the roster, it's the presence of Elaine Howard-Dawes and the Lethbridge-Antonio twins that give the Crusaders the firepower to contend for the title once again. Add in Nakaji's playmaking abilities and the defensive core in front of Swanson, and there isn't really a reason on paper why this team wouldn't be in it till the end to try to complete the three-peat (and win their sixth overall).

Zhaxi Nanlei and Myana stuck to their guns this offseason after yet another second place finish. Some may see that as stagnation, but there is a reason why they think they have the pieces to complete the job this time. When you have a team with Laborious Hawk on it, there's always a chance - and Leandro Nyquist has established himself as the other piece in the midfield. Tanith Xu and Radoslav Blaha may be getting on in age, but they're still playing super well; Zahida Thakkar and Aryuna Pankratova complete a stellar midfield whose job is to get the ball to the duo of Bogdan Merino and Leona Tsang. It can be argued that the Islanders don't have the striking brilliance that the other top teams in the Red League do, but the pedigree of the logo and the way that Zhaxi Nanlei always seems to be coaching up his charges to be better as the sum of their individual parts cannot be understated. The Yueren is nearing seventy years of age, and has been Managing in Chromatika for twenty-one season - is the road coming to an end? This is the sixth season since Myana won their seventh title, will they break the drought?

Z'ai'ai surprised everyone by their ascendance last season, making their way into third place and qualifying for the Champions' League. Eric Chapman's squad is the talk of the town, and they made headlines by keeping their star striker, Aitor Cea. Maxim Mazayev's presence at the center of the defense will hope to continue their upward climb, but it's the trio of Samuel Lithobert, Aitor Cea, and Járnbrá Sol Vígmundsdóttir that give the Mountaineers faithful hope that they can cement themselves as contenders atop the league. Is there room to grow for the likes of Fyrek-nam, Ajay Aspnas, Nalet-Kresp Saf, and the Chromatik trio of Behai Griffin, Alina Bilous, and Haley Taylor? They aren't well enough known to draw the best talent from the world every offseason - to get to that point, a level of longevity must be attained. If last season was important due to the breakout potential, this one arguably more important to ensure that they stay in the spotlight.

Having fallen on harder times lately is Chromatik, who fell out of the IFCF CL berths for the first time in a long time. Jannick Kontiola called it quits, and Dénes Robineau returned home to Farfadillis. Enter Crpostranian Viktor Arjiensi, who is labeled as one of the country's finest tacticians. He's more of a tactics guy through and through, and the acqusition of Auprussian Huberdeau Audac will be a key piece for the team to move forward. Martin Seer is experienced but not a very sexy addition in the midfield; with the duo of Joh Fletcher, and Ngjunei Meigun, though, all he has to do is create some chances. With Ronan Pharlan in goal and an experienced Paul Amos in the middle of the backfield, Capitalizt will try to continue to keep up the defensive work they've been doing. Still, it's the first season under new Management - and though the fanbase is antsy after the last season.

Are we wrong in that we constantly count out Alnio as a title contender? Myung Hye-Jung's second season at the helm turned out to be better for the Brewers, snagging the fourth and final Champions' League berth. They've upgraded at striker by freeing Rhannon Aodhan from the Anomalies and obtained a new defender in Quentin Vale - but threats abound from elsewhere. Boris Obomsawin neeeds to have a better season, while Kandice Oriol will have her work cut out for her from the right wing. Closely behind them is Tihon, also under new Management - from Kelssekian Pietro Salinas, considered to be a bit of a risk as it's his first time coaching the Senior role. Sydnei Eason lots in at left wing, but it's the Rinaldi twins and Míkêl Lôçô that make this team tick, along with defensive lynchpin Eden Gundsdorf. Can the Tide get better play from Cyrile Resnais-Mahama and Maude Leanne Coupet?

Ruo Xiolan and Urrheddiao are still in the mix, though most of all that they've done is get Mourdiki Ou-Drake and Brynjólfur Zhenyasson Zhang, two veteran players of the Red League that have had their ups and downs. Ines Sheppard gives them the ability to stay in every game, and the defensive core of Stan Scott-Wilson and Keiki Todaka is still very solid; if Zhang can help free up Kahout and Teplyashina to set up M'bah-Pinho, United should be back in the mix. Believing in Wirr Tsi will take some doing, but new Manager Calvin Horrebett of Indusse hopes to duplicate what Eric Chapman has done. It's the acquisition of Aloyonka Kostyukevich and Tarbi Ksudach that should give the Shock some new hope, though - Ksuadch was for 30 million NSD, which is the highest amount the Shock has paid for a while. Dostoevich is a known quantity to hold down the left wing spot - with these two new players on the center and right, the Shock could threaten once again.

FK Shakhter Z'ai'ai shocked everyone by finishing in fifth place last season - but the small-town aspect of the club means that they don't have the finances to sustain that level of success. River Hanson did manage to retain everyone - good for her - and get one Hanna Hauser to help out in the midfield. Alexei Plant, Rostyslav Vashchenko, and Carl Yacizi are all getting on in age, but this team is definitely the kind that plays better together than individually. Perhaps continued success will lead to some more investment or new Management, but until then, they'll try to be just ahead of one Anomalies, who have truly fallen from grace. The acquisition of Vabwpetob-zok, Demitrius Eimpt, and Artemer De Juliennes-Carmot is the newest gander at new fortune for Jari Alonpaa, but it won't be easy for the squad that has become the third wheel of Chromia. Just making it to the IFCF CC will be considered a success for this squad.

Since Myung left, Tihon United have just tried to stay afloat. Margerie Pax is doing a decent enough job, but the quality of players has gone down - especially with Nakaji leaving for a better team. They've brought in one Kytleran and three Chromatiks to try to help, but it'd be considered a miracle if they can stay midtable. The de La Hay twins are the key for this roster, along with one Enoch Ingersleben. Lhor returns to the Red League after couple years off, Ahailaja Desh having her fourth season now. Marc-Equenois Sulle and Jack Heimdell will try to help the squad stay in the red League - though Fakswr-rof is the key at goal.

Wirr Tsi Lightning surprised everyone by surviving last season - and Victoria Schuett-Vralis did everything she could to keep people from leaving. Eva Brakken adds youth to the fullback spot; Bernat Formiga remains as the key playmaker, and it'll be on the core of him, Pabofen-nam, and Brakken to carry this team. Lanar, still under the tutelage of one Sandra Sybill, has Narges Isshtak joining the mix - along with Pykpyzwba-nam at goal and Denis Otto at midfield from last season. With so few foreign players on the roster, they'll need the young Chromatiks to step up to not be a one-and-done.

Rounding out the roster is Kynxe - who survived but lost their starting striker, and is having to do with some youth, and Flames of the West, with Thomas Hellyer and Lora Brunhilde-Chamberland as the key players.

With so many new Managers in key places and the transition to Rushmore, which teams will thrive in the new environs?

Rainbow League System Season Twenty-Five Matchdays 1-5

Red League

Curio

Matchday 26

The gap is now three. Tihon sweep United, blanking them 1-0 each without issue, as Rinaldi has Sheppard's number this season, while the Crusaders give up six goals to the Capitalizt on the road, a defensive performance that has the team rather shaken. Myana keeps on their turnaround by blanking Lhor, while the Shock see themselves as high as they've been this season with Ksudach's brace. The Mountaineers suffer a three-nil drubbing at FK Shakhter to even out the series for the season, Anomalies can't gain ground as the Hawks hold them at bay, and the Lightning can't stop the Cyclones from getting a point. The Flames keep on scrounging points to make things very tight at the bottom, as the bottom of the table looks very, very muddied.

Matchday 27

Will Crossroads actually peter away? The Lightning seem to know how to contain the Crusaders, holding them to nil-nil draws the entire season - leaving room for Tihon to escape Lhor with a win to make the lead a single point, with the two teams facing off two Matchdays from now. If the Tide pull this off, it'll be a story for the ages. Myana keeps putting together a win after another, as does Chromatik, though they needed four to get past a pesky Kynxe team that knows how to play the Capitalizt. The Shock keep up their form by all but putting the Red Hawks to relegation, United finally end their slide, hitting FK Shakhter where they're down, and the Mountaineers and Brewers play to a three-all draw that doesn't help either team. Z'ai'ai is running out of time to make the IFCF CL. Can the Flames make it two seasons in a row with miraculous escapes? They're only one point behind thirteenth and fourteenth after the dismal start they've had.

Matchday 28

Matchday 29 will be for all the marbles. Kytleran wonderkid Grange-Hughes's brace in ten minutes of play is enough to hold the Tide to a single point, while Crossroads manhandled Myana in Myana to stop their winning streak and end the skid. Three point lead with two games to go, meaning that if they beat the Tide on Matchday 29, the Crusaders will have their third title in a row. The Shock keep up the chance for a surprise IFCF CL berth by handling the Capitalizt in Chromia, the Squornshelan duo doing well - Ksudach has been a very efficient signing. United's blanking of Alnio stops them from having a shot at the IFCF CC organically, and the Mountaineers finally turn things around late to keep their shot at a IFCF CC spot without having to go through the playoffs alive. The Flames' domination of Lanar - Slavik-Dwyer and Gruba scoring from range - makes things very possible for Carolijn's squad, while the Red Hawks will be relegated. Kynxe had a shot at pulling way from the pack, but were held down by the Lightning, and Lhor's bid at three points was stopped by Yacizi's dagger in the second half.

Matchday 29

Corssroads. Tihon. Chromatik City Field. A chance for the Tide to tie up on points and sweep the Crusaders. Instead, it's a Keigo Nakaji game, it's a Howard-Dawes game, it's a Jill Swanson game. The Crusaders win 59% of possession, outshoot the Tide 13 to 4, and win their third title in a row. Masterful. Chromatik's win over Lanar hands them an IFCF CL spot, Myana is tripped up by the Bears in Kynxe, allowing possibility for the other teams. United had a chance against Anomalies but couldn't by a third goal, and Wirr Tsi gets swept by the small-team Lightning - but Z'ai'ai puts an end on the Flames' upturn, Cea's game-winner making it so that they have an outside chance at a surprise IFCF CL berth. Alnio's loss in Lhor keeps the Orcas in the mix of getting a chance to play for safety, the Brewers now having a shot at not even finishing in the top ten with FK Shakhter tying the Cyclones on the road. Congratulations to Tihon on another title, but a lot will still be decided on the final matchday.

Two points separate fourth from seventh. Alnio needs a result to stave off FK Shakhter if the team that finishes fourth wins the Violet Cup. At the bottom, Flames will try to have a shot at Promotion/Relegation, while Kynxe and Lhor try to fend them off.

Matchday 30 Fixtures:
Lanar vs. Z'ai'ai
Flames of the West vs. Urrheddiao
Anomalies vs. Lhor
Alnio vs. Tihon United
FK Shakhter Z'ai'ai vs. Crossroads
Tihon vs. Kynxe
Myana vs. Wirr Tsi
Wirr Tsi Lightning vs. Chromatik

Wirr Tsi's final chance at making the IFCF CL will be against the Islanders, while United are the last team on the way of another Flames miracle. Crossroads have a decision to start reserves or just play hard against FK Shakhter, as do Tihon - though the Bears will be playing hard. Remember - United play Myana in the Violet Cup Final. Also, Alnio needs to do anything to have a shot at the IFCF CC Playoffs.

This is the most competitive league in Chromatika, only twenty-five points separating the entire table. Alnio Scientific, emboldened by the emergence of wonderkid Kaosi Breston, leads the table for now - scoring seventy-one goals in thirty matches. Chromatik Central has the striker duo of Lukas Zhang and Darwin Horacio; Flames of the Revolution High School's Dott and Schuett took a step forward, and the Abominable Snowmen become the final team to qualify for the playoffs, led by a defense with Goalkeeper Mei Sørensen leading the way.

DEAD RUBBER
Wirr Tsi Lightning 0–1 Chromatik
Audac 55'

A rather meaningless match for both squads, with the Lightning having secured safety already but being far enough away from the chance at the IFCF CC Berth Playoffs and Chromatik being clear of the mess that is the fight for fourth place. Auprussian Huberdeau Audac makes it thirty on his debut season with the Capitalizt with the lone goal of the match, and Chromatik close out the year on a high note. For the Lightning, they'll be very happy that they've managed to survive another season to continue to build.

PROMOTION/RELEGATION PLAYOFF BERTH DECIDERS
Anomalies 2–0 Lhor
Lermontova 19', De Juliennes-Carmot 84'
Tihon 1–0 Kynxe
Coupet 22'

Lhor needs to win to stave off the Flames, while Kynxe needs to do the same. For Tihon, it was one last game to end a very good season by their standards - and Tanya Rinaldi had no designs on letting the Bears get a goal on her. Coupet's header rings true, and the Tide will set their designs on bigger and better things next season, the Bears having to wait on other results. At the Anomaly Tower, AFC cement their spot in the IFCF CC Berth Playoffs by shutting out the Orcas, all but ending their bids at safety, barring the result of the flames against United.

Alnio and the Cyclones both need a result to secure their spot in the IFCF CC Berth Playoffs depending on who wins the Violet Cup Final; neither are able to, despite some good shots on goal from both teams' star players. By virtual of goal differential, it'll be the Cyclones that secure their berth, the Brewers left to wait on the results of the Cup - as FK Shakhter plays the champion Crusaders very hard - Carl Yacizi having a hat trick to garner a chance, just to fall one goal short. FK Shakhter will enjoy staying in the Red League another season, though.

IFCF CL BERTH DECIDERS
Lanar 1–3 Z'ai'ai
De Valck 32'//Járnbrá Sol 11', 70', Cea 80'
Flames of the West 1–0 Urrheddiao
Durst 8'
Myana 3–1 Wirr Tsi
Merino 35', Tsang 63', 68'//Ksudach 11'

This was the story of the day - Myana trying to stave off Urrheddiao and Z'ai'ai while hosting a resurgent Wirr Tsi squad. The Mountaineers do their part, taking care of the relegated Red Hawks in Lanar as Sandra Sybill meets her end as their Manager at the end of this game. It ends up not mattering at all, with the way that Zhanxi's squad came out to play at the Islander Dome. Despite Ksudach scoring first, the Shock can't get anything going past the first quarter hour, and Myana's quality in midfield ends up being the difference on the day with Leona Tsang's brace netting them the extremely important victory to secure the final IFCF CL berth. Of note is that when Urrheddiao took to the pitch in Crix against the Flames, they didn't know these results - which makes what happened on this day that much more shocking. After fifteen matches, Urrheddiao were sitting at 8-2-5 and the Flames at 0-6-9; since then, they'd both gone 6-2-6. With the knowledge that both Lanar and Lhor were also likely to lose, Carolijn Berendsen op de Schulenborg's squad does what they do best - play above their weight with season on the line - and helped along by a clean sheet from Suren Astara, upset United to vault up to thirteenth, a chance to salvage their season once again after having the most dismal of starts to a season. Second half Flames are a completely different level of squad, and it's showing.

Red League/Orange League Promotion/Relegation Playoffs

Relegation Preliminary Round
Flames of the West (Red) 4–2 Kynxe (Red)
Gruba 33', Durst 48', 70', Pischalnikova 88'//McTaggart 21', 60'

The miracle of the Flames continue. Winning eight of the last sixteen matches on the season, the Flames put away the Bears and maintain their spot in the Red League. For all of her faults, there is no denying the fact that Carolijn Berendsen op de Schulenborg knows how to utilize her squad, and that they love playing for her. Can they spend where it's needed to improve their squad next season so it won't take such a miracle, though?

Promotion Preliminary Round
Frenei Tor (Orange) 1–2 Knetyohai City FC (Orange)
Heitmeyer 20'//Reid 11', Dahler 26'

A hotly contested match in Tor ends in KCFC's victory as Richard Szalkai's two assists help the squad to have a shot at a surprise promotion.

Promotion/Relegation Round
Kynxe (Red) 0–3 Knetyohai City FC (Orange)
Hatsuyo 4', Dahler 26', Blagojević 64'

With Lloyd English battening down the hatches, KCFC thoroughly dominate the Bears and make the unexpected run from fourth place to the Red League, ending the Bears' run in the Red League after a disappointing end.

Violet Cup XXV Championship @ The Capitalizt Dome, Chromia, Capital District, Chromatika (144,000)
Urrheddiao (Red) 1–3 Myana (Red)
Teplyashina 51'//Hawk 10', Tsang 61', Nyquist 86'

Urrheddiao knows this is their best chance outright earn a IFCF CC berth - and a chance at the CdC at that, while the Islanders had put together a nice run to end the season. From the get-go at the Capitalizt Dome, it's Hawk, Nyquist, Pankratova, and Thakkar that have the upper hand at midfield; the ageless one scores first off a free kick, and though Teplyashina equalizes on a screamer, the time-of-possession edge of 56%-42% means that Myana prevails at the end, adding hardware on a season where they'd gone off to a bad start. It is Myana's fourth cup title, tying Urrheddiao as the most all-time. United will secure a IFCF CC berth due to placing sixth in a season where a top four team won the Cup, but it's a bittersweet feeling.

IFCF CC Berth Playoffs
Semifinals
Wirr Tsi 0–0 Alnio (0–1 AET)
Meyer 112'
Anomalies 0–2 Tihon United
Patrick 41', Ingersleben 81'

For all the money spent on the Shock's front three, they cannot solve the riddle that is Obomsawin this time around - and though Maitfield-Lundrigan tries his best, Meyer is able to get the strike that is needed to help the Brewers into the final round and cement this season as a lost one for Wirr Tsi despite their acquisitions offensively. The Cyclones keep doing what they do in these playoffs season after season, dominating at the Anomaly Tower to set up a rematch of the final game of the season, this time requiring there to be a winner.

Final
Tihon United 0–4 Alnio
Aodhan 15', Meyer 33', Dar 70', Salnikov 81'

It's been a rough season for Myung and the Brewers, playing their way to thirteen draws and only scoring forty-six goals. They really turn things around in these last matches, taking advantage of the fact that they were allowed in the tournament and an uptick in form by Boris Obomsawin to utterly smash past the Cyclones and return to the IFCF CC in a way that nobody saw coming. Never count Myung Hye-Jung out.

A season into being part of Rushmore, the Rainbow League System threw a major pivot into the engines of Chromatik clubs - new foreign player quotas. Namely, teams are now allowed four players from the world, two players from Rushmore, and a player from the subregion of Pavola in full (they can use a Rushmori spot for a Pavolan player, and a world spot for a Rushmori/Pavolan player). This has severely impacted some teams in the league, while others haven't been affected as much. So, who is expected to contend for the title next season?

Crossroads is unquestionably the best team in the league at the moment. Ivan Bakočević's first season at the helm saw the Crusaders win the Red League and the Champions' League in the same season. Then, when the new quotas hit, they weren't affected much at all - as the majority of their best players are actually Chromatiks. In fact, they only field six foreign born starters out of a possible seven. The combination of Jayla Lethbridge-Antonio and Erica Holgersson at the middle of the midfield allows the likes of Keigo Nakaji and Annamay Hunter to set up Elaine Howard-Dawes, and the rest is history, especially with Jill Swanson at goal. With so many other teams experiencing turmoil, it can be argued that the Crusaders' lack of changes sets them up to continue to perform at the level of recent seasons.

Z'ai'ai has come a long ways from being a yo-yo club. Eric Chapman's club, led by one Aitor Cea, is now the best threat to the Crusaders, as the changes they've made are arguably straight upgrades. Jevgēņijs Teodors slots in at right wing, while Eva Brekken is an up-and-coming talent at the right back position. Porzia Rizzio may be a risk at left wing, but the core of Ajay Aspnas, Fyrek-Nam, and Nalet-Kresp Saf remains strong. The name of the game is to set up Cea to score thirty goals in the season while Timofei Trischuk-Huang continues to hopefully improve; another top four finish would effectively establish the Mountaineers in this new age of contending.

Tihon and Myana were both hit relatively hard by the new foreign quotas. The Tide chose to hang on to the twins of Tanya and Drake, along with talented midfielder Míkêl Lôçô; luring Leandro Nyquist, who has Chromatik/Vanorian dual citizenship, was a key move that allowed the Tide to splash on a pair of Pasargan defenders to fill their Rushmori spots - Andor Gyôrfi and Simone Eisenhauer. Kai Dynom's signing gives the Tide a secondary goalscoring threat next to Cyrile Resnais-Mahama, but the stars of the team remain their midfield and goalkeeper. As for Myana, their back four and keeper are their core, with Blaha behind Sherwin, Ji, Arrakan, and Rota; Laborious Hawk will have to do the lions' share of playmaking (something the legendary elf is rather good at) as the team breaks in new striker Lars Tillman, Jr. Tillman was a good target man at the CCFA levels, but this will be a different game altogether.

This is the least heralded Chromatik squad in a long, long time. A team that had a total of ten foreign starters last season, new Manager Viktor Arjlensi had decisions to make about which players to keep. Ronan Pharlan was let go for a lions' sum; the team instead kept defenders Éspéráns rue Cazade and Rynropeka-pyt with defensive midfielder John Fletcher. up front, Huberdeau Audac, coming off of a good first season, was retained with seasoned veteran Eric Forsberg. A pair of Græntfjaller legacies join the team to try to return them to their glory days, with Járnbrá Sol being more of a gamble than the other; a lot will fall on the lap of Sydon Dochester, otherwise known as Syd, who had a decent season for Myana Eyrodii but will face a lot more pressure as the goalkeeper for Chromatik. Some say that this is too high for the nation's biggest club - but the pedigree does deserve some respect as they navigate turbulent times.

Urrheddiao remains one of the teams with the strongest identities in the entire league - defense, defense, defense. Ines Sheppard returns for her fifteenth season as their starting keeper, while the team retains the services of Keiki Todaka and Moudriki Ou-Drake; The front four of Kohout, Zhang, D'Aboville, and Oberon also stay. Charles Grange-Hughes decided that Urrheddiao was where he wanted to continue his rising career - meaning that all will fall at the feet of three Chromatiks - Wakayoshi Sadaharu, Vega Pérez, and Trofim Salnikov. If these signings work out to help form the defensive core, there is arguably enough firepower for United to play in a more flexible manner.

Wirr Tsi and Alnio have very distinct strengths and extremely notable weaknesses. The Shock boast a front three that's up there with anyone in the league, as evidenced by Tarbi Ksudach's form the last season. Despite being thirty-two, she is the reason they may actually contend for the IFCF CL berths - playing with the immortal Nadya Dostoevich and fellow Squonrnshelan Alyonka Kostyukevich. Silvestr Pavlicek is the Siovanija and Teusland international holding down the middle, but the play of new additions Isabelle Stevenson and Ania Brod-Étienne will remain important. As usual for a Wirr Tsi club, the back five will be solid if not great, especially after Hector Maitfield-Lundrigan showed promise last season. Calvin Horrebett could return the Shock to be the thorn in the side that they used to be. As for the Brewers, they managed to retain almost all of the core that let them be in the mix last season, hoping that the development of their young players and the addition of Trici Lea and Xavier Moreau will be enough to help this team move forward. Alnio will likely be the barometer team this season - if you can beat them, you can contend against anyone.

Tihon United are befittingly the club to begin the bottom half of predictions - but the Cyclones continue to be in the mix. Margerie Pax has completely adjusted to the Cyclones' playstyle of punching above their weight. Actually managing to sign two more foreigners in veterans Aurelien Moussenguet and Serafima Lermontova, Tihon United will be looking for progression from Eastfielder striker Enoch Ingersleben as the reason why they can do better than last season. Dimonte Di Croce adds to a young core with Ingersleben, Bruska, and Avila; a challenge may be the fact that there are players ages eleven years apart among the starting lineup.

Should Anomalies be ranked higher? Not until they prove their worth. Once again, AFC retained the defense that make them so respected with Jessika Aniston; can Aryuna Pankratova and Mykala Ayala be the combination that allows Demitrius Eimpt and Artemer De Juliennes-Carmot to play freer? Jari Alonpaa's time may be running out at the helm if they do not.

Speaking of changes, FK Shakhter Z'ai'ai made a few. Six new players were brought in - including four foreigners, as FK Shakhter, which was historically full of Pyazhnayan players, is now full of Qusmi'y ones. Having four players from Qusmo on the roster, River Hanson's landmark twenty-first season at the helm will depend on just how much Felix Joel can be set up by the rest of the squad. Isabelle Mercier is a capable keeper, while the mostly Rushmori defense will be just fine - but how creative can the front of the team be?

Wirr Tsi Lightning are feeling emboldened by recent success. Robby Höger and Bernat Formiga form a stable core with Pabofen-nam, and Victoria Schuett-Bralis doubled down. Grabbing Pykpyzwba-nam from Lanar to be at goal, the team made seven changes along the starting lineup, including bringing in Cario Chirico and Nathalie Brevik. If they are around midtable and make the IFCF CC Berth Playoffs, they will be on schedule.

Why is Urrhed FC regarded so highly despite being recently promoted? Andrea Spinelli kept the services of one Nawf Demir, a good Eastfielder goalkeeper prospect, while getting Megan Hofer, Samuel Lithobert, and Kimberley Zhao-Zajic. Tanner Turch gives them a capable striker up front, too. The Submarines will hope to be safe in the Red League, as will Pria City - the Orange League Champions who, in a controversial move, replaced their entire front three. Although they scored seventy-seven goals last season, the primary source of playmaking was the midfield three of Julian Wang, Alejandra Monroe, and Iliana Orchard. So, Liang Bo decided to bring in players that will hopefully create for themselves.

Flames of the West will continue to be ranked so low as long as Manager Carolijn Berendsen op de Schulenborg doesn't figure out how to unlock her team in the first half of the season. In back-to-back seasons, the Flames have locked in in the second half of the season to maintain safety - and the acquisition of one Maude Leanne Coupet gives this team hope. As for Knetyohai City FC, Stephanie Blaue, Clayton Thorpe, and Jürgen Kaiser give them a young core that they could build around if Manager Kurtis Rough is able to help them survive couple seasons.

Having navigated an international player cap, these teams now do battle to see who will prevail this season. Will Crossroads win once again, or will another team claim the throne?

Rainbow League System Season Twenty-Six Matchdays 1-5

Red League

Matchday 26

We are really in the thick of it now, and this clash at the Islander Dome was going to decide a lot of what was to come in the final four matches. Crossroads needed a win to have even a shot at defending their title, and Jill Swanson was not going to take no for an answer. Annamay Hunter pounced on a rebound from Howard-Dawes, and Myana never got a good shot on goal. At the Cyclone Center, Z'ai'ai find the Cyclones a very hard nut to crack, barely claiming first place behind a one-goal effort. The gap is now five, and it's six if you count Alnio. Gone are the days of the Brewers having to purely outscore everyone, Boris Obamsawin posting his eighth clean sheet of the season to take down a United team that had been playing so, so well. Chromatik handle the Lightning, Tihon stroll to a routine win over the Submarines, and Wirr Tsi falter in Crix, Tanya Slavik-Dwyer being one of few players trying to gain attention from other clubs next season. The tie all but secures the Shock's fate as having to win the Violet Cup or playing in the IFCF CC Berth Playoffs. Pria City only manage to tie Knetyohai City FC, hurting their chances to catch up to the Submarines, and FK Shakhter's shutting out of Anomalies only mires them both squarely at midtable. Jarin Alonpaa has already been told he'll retain his job this season, but things will have to change next season for what has now become Chromia's worst club.

Matchday 27

Is this the same Urrheddiao team that had done so well in the last five matches? This time, it's Anomalies that beat Sheppard at her own game, Jessika Aniston saving all eight shots on goal and Artemer De Juliennes-Carmot scoring on a breakaway. The gap between Anomalies and Urrheddiao is closed. Atop the table, Z'ai'ai heads to Wirr Tsi and are embroiled in a feisty affair - the Shock score three times, but the Mountaineers have an Aitor Cea on their side. The Bonusian has a hat trick, completing it in a three-minute stretch that keep the home team reeling. They get one back, but Z'ai'ai prevail, and remain atop the table. Crossroads add another clean sheet at home, handling Alnio, while Myana keeps on falling on their face, giving Tihon United a chance back to seventh place. Tihon are shocked by how hard KCFC hold them, while Chromatik walk past the Monarchs. Urrhed FC puts some distance between them and Pria City, edging around the Flames, and the Lightning barely hold off FK Shakhter Z'ai'ai in a battle between two clubs that would be happy to just have another season of safety.

Matchday 28

Z'ai'ai has never been this close to a title before, and it's starting to show. How else do you explain what happened to them at home on this matchday? It looked like they had finally regained their senses when Ajay Aspnas tied the game at two apiece in the seventieth minute. However, the Submarines want a chance to not have to play in the Promotion/Relegation Playoffs at all if they can, and Belikova's corner from the right was just too much. It's a gap left for Myana and Crossroads to converge upon, and one team manages to do so - the Crusaders, their third win in a row in this crucial stretch, as Howard-Dawes does her thing. Myana lose their third shutout in a row by a single goal to falter once again, allowing Alnio to obtain fourth place for now as Chromatik are held without a goal in Tihon. The Cyclones' bid to join the Tide is halted by a Shock squad that regain their footing, and United lose once again, the Lightning maintaining their gap to the Submarines. FK Shakhter all but secures safety, putting together a clean sheet to deny Pria City in a result that mean they will have to participate in the Promotion/Relegation Playoffs, and the Flames take out their frustration on a lost season, dismantling KCFC.

Matchday 29

The drama continues. Crossroads has some issue handling the Lightning, but manage to do so. Myana finally turn things around, shutting down the Anomalies with contemptuous ease to remain in the race. Z'ai'ai, with Aitor Cea continuing to play the hero, get out of Urrheddiao with three points. Alnio and Chromatik maintain their race for fourth place - the Brewers surviving the Cyclones and the Capitalizt getting to play the Flames. The first team down the table to truly fumble the day is Tihon, losing their chance to really keep the heat on the Capitlaizt dying in Z'ai'ai, FK Shakhter keeping their chance at hope alive. United lose their fourth in a row - Pria City are trying to just keep things sharp ahead of the Promotion/Relegation Playoffs - and the Shock stay true to form, trying to get ready for the Violet Cup Final.

Myana and Urrheddiao in a freefall allows Alnio and Chromatik to get within a chance of the IFCF CL berths.

Felswyr folds, going 0-1-3 down the stretch, allowing Kynxe to complete their turnaround, winning the title rather confidently. For the Frost, they'll have one shot to try to fend off a charging Frenei Tor. Fishermen's Club are three or less points away from three other clubs, including a Lhor squad that has truly recovered. At the bottom of the table, Pria are relegated, while Pùr has a shot to catch the Vipers. The Eyrodii have a shot at safety, Rhoni City, Anchors FC, and Lanar trying to hold on.

There was a huge stir about the Payne twins and the Knight twins joining Egren Elite Academy, and it showed this season. Jasmin Knight scored twenty-nine goals in the season as the team scored eighty-one goals, the defense did just enough, and this team will be the overwhelming favorites to win the Youth League. Frederick Homina and Seojun Moreau continues to be one of the best sides in Chromatik Central, Alnio Scientific's Kaosi Breston paces them to third place, the Flames get good play from Defensive Midfielder Ariena Dott, and Crix Arts Institute and Franscesca Larriet-Cortes rounds out the playoff field. Myana Northwestern and Academy of the Jungle will be dismayed by the results this season, while Central Heights brings up the rear with 20 points.

Playoffs

Play-In Round
Alnio Scientific High School 4–3 Franscesca Larriet-Cortes High School
Olackson 33', Breston 49', Fondt 60', 81'//Petrov 11', Byitti 41', 70'
Flames of the Revolution High School 4–1 Crix Arts Institute
Schuett 3', Giordina 14', 34', 77'//Lynod Grossom 8'

Plenty of goals scored in the round, Alnio Scientific barely holding on to take down the Martyrs while Giordina's hat trick helps the Flames cruise to a win over Crix Arts Institute. They'll need to continue this if they're to take down the top two teams.

Semifinals
Egren Elite Academy 5–2 Flames of the Revolution High School
Scoville 11', 49', Knight, J. 22', 60', Knight, H. 71'//Giordina 34', Schuett 81'
Chromatik Central High School 4–2 Alnio Scientific High School
Nieminen 19', Zyer 26', Zhang 61', 88'//Olackson 32', Breston 71'

Another thirteen goals scored this round - Egren Elite Academy battering the Flames with five goals, a brace each by Scoville and Jasmin Knight - with three assists on the day from Veronica Payne, while Chromatik Central's hydra outlast Alnio Scientific, Viktor Nieminen having a goal and two assists on the day.

Final @ The Capitalizt Dome, Chromia, Capital District
Egren Elite Academy 3–1 Chromatik Central High School
Vasina 30', Knight, H. 59', Payne 81'//Zhang 22'

They fulfill what they set out to do, the two pairs of twins plying their craft perfectly as Egren Elite Academy prevail over longtime powerhouse Chromatik Central to make the grand final.

Antwaan Simon and Justinian Marceaux pace the young Orcas to the regular season title, while the Tide barely qualify for the First-Round Bye by a single point. Felswyr and Lanar make it in ahead of the usual suspects - Chromatik and Anomalies still in the mix. Crossroads and Urrheddiao miss out once again.

Playoffs

Play-In Round
Felswyr U-18s 1–0 Anomalies U-18s
Takahashi 24'
Lanar U-18s 0–1 Chromatik U-18s
Medina 33'

A pair of clean sheets here, Takahashi's shot from range helping out Felswyr and Chromatik entering a second win, Moreau shining in the win over the young Red Hawks.

Semifinals
Lhor U-18s 0–1 Chromatik U-18s
James 70'
Tihon U-18s 0–1 Felswyr U-18s
Vlatti 58'

Harmon Dwen and Seojun Moreau are pulling off masterpieces, ending the Orcas' and Tides' seasons. If the High School Path is goals scoring, the Club Path is all defense.

Final @ The Capitalizt Dome, Chromia, Capital District
Felswyr U-18s 2–0 Chromatik U-18s
Vlatti 39', Takahashi 66'

In what some would consider an upset, Heron Vlatti and Leon Takahashi are able to get two past Moreau, and Harmon Dwen does the rest. Felswyr surprisingly wins the title.

Youth League Championship
Egren Elite Academy 2–1 Felswyr U-18s
Payne, V. 22', Knight, J. 80'//Takahashi 7'

What can change in a year? Everything. Even the vaunted Felswyr defense cannot stop the Egren attack for too long, and Veronica Payne, the best of them all, has a goal and an assist in the victory.

Champions: Egren Elite Academy (1st Title)
Manager: Miles Gu (32)
Starting XI: GK Samuel Josten (14); RB Armand Payne (15) - CB Cameron Varai (15) - CB Ethan Bode (16) - LB Ananias Vlyn (15); DM Pansy Matilde (14); RW Hilary Knight (15) - AM Veronica Payne (15) - LW Jamison Scoville (14); ST Yera Vasina (16) - ST Jasmin Knight (15).

Pickens 28', Black 58', Winster 74'//Croyenne 34', Dubois 71', Hunter 81', Zorheim 88'

Three upsets in the first round of the playoffs. The Cavalry are the only favorite to make it to the Quarterfinals, Jasmine Bost breaking the tie six minutes into the second half of extra time to get over the Fireflies. The Lava handle the Comets in Chromia - three goals in extra time is a lot for the game, but Darwin Horacio is the best player on the field - while the Sailors of the Islands lean on Gillespie to carry them through. In the only game to end in regulation, the Spartans overcome a one-goal deficit in the final nine minutes, Xinyi Thomsen's assists coming through in the clutch.

Quarterfinals
Z'ai'ai Institute of Technology 3–3 Staramara Tech University (4–3 AET)
Rang 31', Fossbender 41', Smith 79', Dohain 111'//Auren 22', Brent 26', Orlov 80'

Southern Chromatik University 5–3 Pria Technical College
Bowman 17', Yoachim 38', 50', Asden 68', Bowman 78'//Juxx 28', Bost 56', 61'

Total of twenty-six goals scores in this round as the Hellcats have their hands full at home versus the Lava, finally prevailing in extra time with Kristyn Dohain's header, while the Argonauts outlast the Sailors in an Urrhed Island clash, Sanar prevails in a Rainbow District Derby, and the Red and Gold's five goal outburst handle the Cavalry in the end, Jordan Yoachim's brace leading the way.

Semifinals
Z'ai'ai Institute of Technology 3–3 Sanar University (5–3 AET)
Dohain 25', 101', 118', Fossbender 33', Rang 56'//Newman 41', Croyenne 58'
Urrheddiao State University 2–0 Southern Chromatik University
Strand 11', 71'

Two games, two extra times, two wins for the Hellcats in their quest to repeat, Dohain's hat trick being just enough; the Argonauts' defense clamp down on the Red and Gold.

Championship Game @ The Capitalizt Dome
Z'ai'ai Institute of Technology 2–0 Urrheddiao State University
Dohain 32', 80'

Kristyn Dohain may be the best winger Chromatika has had in a hot minute, as she dominates to help the Hellcats win their third in a row.

Kynxe had already won the title, so they played a fun game at home against Frenei - but Felswyr shut out the Vipers, so they'll take the automatic promotion spot back up to the Red League. Lhor win the match in Pria to hold onto their fourth place spot, helped along by Anchor shutting the door on Fishermen's Club's season. The Eyrodii and Lanar have soul searching to do. Pùr's draw to Shantarr gives them a shot at maintaining their place ahead of the Vipers.

DEAD RUBBER
Tihon 0–0 Urrheddiao

Wirr Tsi 2–1 Knetyohai City FC
Dostoevich 33', Brod-Étienne 61'//Hilaria 25'

Both teams were already locked in to their places (unless Tihon lost and the Cyclones won big, but that is such an edge case), so a rather cagey match in Tihon ended in the twelfth clean sheet of the season for both Ines Sheppard and Tanya Rinaldi. Tihon will be hoping that Chromatik wins the Violet Cup, denying Wirr Tsi the automatic berth and granting them the IFCF CC spot - as they fell short of the IFCF CL once again, a bit of a disappointing result. For Urrheddiao, the recent slide undid all the good that they had done since the halfway point of the season, and United will have some work to do in the offseason if they are to contend for the top four again. Wirr Tsi's final tune-up game before the Violet Cup Final is a comeback win against the team that sets the record for least wins in a season, KCFC being held at just one win. The victory means that even if the Shock were to lose the Violet Cup Final, they'd have the playoffs to fall back to - hopefully, they won't need that.

PROMOTION/RELEGATION PLAYOFF BERTH DECIDERS
Tihon United 0–1 Urrhed FC
Mitter 22'
Wirr Tsi Lightning 0–1 Myana
Tillman, Jr. 60'

The Submarines knew that they had a much easier draw on the final day of the season, with the Lightning having to entertain the Islanders at home. Nawf Demir puts together a masterful performance, and Fine Mitter's header wins the game. The Lightning are the sacrifice at the altar of Islanders and Blaha's seventeenth clean sheet of the year, and it'll be the Lightning that needs to play in the Promotion/Relegation playoffs. What a turnaround for Urrhed FC. By only winning by a goal, Myana's title hopes disappear - but they can still hope that Crossroads falters and they get second place.

IFCF CC PLAYOFFS BERTH DECIDERS
Flames of the West 1–0 FK Shakhter Z'ai'ai
Slavik-Dwyer 27'

FK Shakhter Z'ai'ai had a chance to head to Crix, face a team knowing they were doomed, and make life interesting for Alnio when it comes to tenth place (which matters if Chromatik wins the Violet Cup, as they'll make the IFCF CC Berth Playoffs). Instead, it's Tanya Slavik-Dwyer and Suren Astara who give the few home fans something to cheer about as the Flames end the season on a high note, knocking FK Shakhter out of any potential of making the IFCF CC.

IFCF CL BERTH DECIDERS
Anomalies 0–2 Alnio
Dar 10, Hill 26'

In posting his tenth clean sheet of the season - a ridiculous number for a team that is as offensively oriented as Alnio - Boris Obomsawin secures Alnio's IFCF CL berth and keeps Chromatik out by night's end. Anomalies are lucky that FK Shakhter fell, or they'd have fallen from tenth place for sure. Jari Alonpaa has already been told next season will be the pivotal one - how will they improve this team?

TITLE DECIDERS

The final kickoff of the Red League season is always at 7:00PM local time, all eight games kicking off at once. Sure, people were watching the likes of Tihon United vs. Urrhed FC and Tihon vs. Urrheddiao, but most of the country was turned into these two games. Z'ai'ai hosting Chromatik in what is the biggest home game in the history of the Mountaineers, and Pria City entertaining Crossroads, the Crusaders having fought tooth and nail in the final stretch to have a shot at the four-peat. Chromatik need this to have any shot at catching Alnio, while Pria City are just hoping to put up a fight.

One of the biggest acquisitions this offseason was Porzia Rizzio. The twenty-three year old recent graduate is a winger that can play either side of the field, allowing the Mountaineers the flexibility to bring in the likes of veteran Yesern Morkoff when they need it. It's Rizzio who knifes past the Crusaders defense in the eighteenth minute, and though Swanson punches the ball away immediately, Nalet-Kresp Saf buries the rebound for the lead, only for Járnbrá Sol to bury one from range to tie things up four minutes later. In Pria City, Teplyashina has gotten past the duo of Holgersson and Gundsdorf in a rare defensive miscue.

Vanorian phenom Eric Forsberg gives Chromatik the surprising lead minutes past the half-hour mark, Martin Seer setting him up with a gorgeous through-ball that leaves Fyrek-nam out of position. A probing run allows the winger to slot the ball past Trischuk-Huang, and Crusader fans are wondering why they are not handling Pria City. Unfortunately for them, Bonusian wonderkid Aitor Cea buries his thirty-first goal of the season just four minutes before halftime off a Ajay Aspnas assist to tie things up at two apiece going into halftime.

Who knows what things were said in the Crossroads locker room at the halftime of their game. Here they were, a chance to win the title for the fourth season in a row on the line, and they were down 0-1 to Pria City of all teams while Z'ai'ai was being tied up by Chromatik. The Crusaders played with a lot more urgency in the second half of the game, and Keiho Nakaji hit a beautiful strike in the fiftieth minute to tie things up in Pria City.

The seventieth minute rolled around, and then Porzia Rizzio faked out Uriah Len to hit one into the left side of the net to give Z'ai'ai the lead. By this time, it looked like Alnio was hanging on in Anomaly Tower, but Manager Viktor Arjlensi wasn't going to make things easy for the Mountaineers. Huberdeau Audac ran through three defenders to equalize. Two minutes later, Nakaji hit a gorgeous free kick to give Crossroads the lead, and in that moment, Crossroads had taken the lead on the overall table.

Pria City looked rather done. Crossroads played defensively for the final fifteen minutes. All eyes turned to Mountaineer Field. Five times Z'ai'ai came at Chromatik, and Sydeon "Syd" Dochester stopped them every time... Until the eighty-eighth minute arrived.

Eva Brekken made one of her customary runs up the right side, connecting with Fyrek-nam. The Kwrpan then connected to Porzia Rizzio, and the winger faked out Uriah Len before finding none other than Aitor Cea. The Bonusian trapped the ball, transferred it to his dominant foot, and before Syd could get a bead on it, Cea fired off a shot to the upper right corner that Syd couldn't get to. The resulting roar was so loud that it echoed throughout Z'ai'ai Field, the entire fanbase celebrating.

Chromatik tried couple times, but Trischuk-Huang held firm.

Z'ai'ai is the fourth biggest city in Chromatika. Chromia has many, many titles. Myana has won many titles. Tihon has won many titles. Much smaller clubs like Wirr Tsi has also won titles.

Z'ai'ai finally had their first, and with the average age of their starting XI being 25, they're just getting started.

Relegation Preliminary Round

Rossi 33', Lalande 47', Rossi 56', Kavka-Kawasaki 81', Greenwood 88'//Heimdell 16', 66'

Promotion/Relegation Round
Pria City (Red) 1–0 Frenei Tor (Orange)

Claudette Malet holds Frenei Tor to a clean sheet and Kipekee's header is enough to help the Monarchs survive this season.

Violet Cup XXVI Championship @ The Capitalizt Dome, Chromia, Capital District, Chromatika (144,000)
Wirr Tsi (Red) 1–1 Chromatik (Red) (1–2 AET)
Kostykevich 77'//Audac 24', Forsberg 114'

In a charged final - the winner joins the club of having four Violet Cup finals - Viktor Arjlensi simply won't take no for an answer. Wirr Tsi do well enough to carry the game into extra time, but if Chromatik aren't going to be in the IFCF CL, they will at least win some silverware. Eric Forsberg stars in extra time off an Audac assist, and Capitalizt prevail at the end.

IFCF CC Berth Playoffs
Semifinals
Tihon United 2–0 Anomalies
Ingersleben 21', Lermontova 74'
Wirr Tsi 0–1 Urrheddiao
Oberon 11'

In a pair of shutouts, Tihon United remind everyone why they're the kings of this competition by blanking Anomalies - putting even more fuel into the Alonpaa situation for next season. Urrheddiao relies on their star power of Sheppard and Oberon to stop Wirr Tsi from getting a single goal, ending the Shock's season in disappointment.

Final
Tihon United 1–2 Urrheddiao
Ingersleben 50'//D'Aboville 20', Kohout 81'

United have been plagued by a very topsy-turvy, streaky season, but this is a roster that can definitely be top four in a given year. Charles Grange-Hughes remains a lock in center midfield through the game, Zhang is a problem, and though Oberon is held, D'Aboville and Kohout do the rest. Urrheddiao win the mini-tournament from ninth place and make it to international football.
