Tactics:
Consolación Regina has been instructed to retain the slightly aggressive 3-5-2 formation the senior squad uses in order to build familiarity and consistency from the U-21 squad to the senior squad. This formation is intended to maximize the wingbacks' strengths without neutralizing the rest of the team's impact. The young wingbacks' stamina allows them to go forward and cautiously assist in attack to create goal-scoring chances while still being able to get back and provide numbers to stop opposition scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, the Centerbacks, Central Midfielders and Forwards create a solid pillar through the heart of the pitch that is intended to both be an alternative route to goal scoring and a multi layered obstruction to the opponents.

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:

Choose my goalscorers Y
Godmod scoring events Y
RP injuries to my players Y (within reason)
Godmod injuries to my players N
Hand out yellow cards to my players Y (within reason)
Hand out red cards to my players Y (within reason)
Godmod other events (TG me first)

Notes:
So far, it seems that the Youthful Survivors (U-21) ebb and flow in the DBC in this new era of international futbol: one year they’re champions, the next year they can’t make it past the group stage, and then the very next one they manage to claim third place to become one of the few nations with a 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd place finish in this competition. Logic would dictate that this would be another poor performance for the squad but Consolación Regina has other plans. She retained as many of last edition’s 3rd place squad as she could while adding in some extra offensive firepower from players aged out of the Juvenile Survivors (U-18) and a few new choices from the recent ZFLS seasons to bolster the defense. If Zenic don't make the knockout rounds, it won’t be from lack of trying.

U21

The Lisander U21 National Team is the team that represents Lisander in Di Bradini Cup, for players between 19 and 21 years. Currently coached by Tirso Henriques, a former AS Virtus 1904 defender, it draws athletes from professional clubs around Lisander. Despite being in the same age group, University Football teams aren't usually selected, as University Sports are completely amateur. The team plays in the ubiquitous interplay of quick passing and positional moving that is typical of this nation’s football. The formation isn't that much fixed, but most of the time it is a 4-1-2-3, sometimes evolving and playing in an apparent 2-3-5, when sidebacks move front, and 3-2-5, when the defensive midfield moves back and the midfield becomes no man's land. Style Modifier is +4.

For some of these young players, such as goalkeeper Hércules Sousa or the breakout star of Stellar Kasandora João Vitor "Jovi" Clemente, this is their first experience wearing the national team shirt. For others, such as Leandro Misano and Bruno Segall, Emilio Bruni, Alexis Meine, all these boys that are already 21, and on their second or third DBC, it is a chance to prove themselves ready to be called up by Ricardo Navarre. For the younger players, such as Lucas Amandier, Ariel Verne and Thomas Navarro, it is a step forward in a journey that began earlier, with the Under-18s in Sporting World Cup. No major results are expected, and the team continues to focus primarily on developing young players, offering them even more experience at international level, given that there is no international Under-21 category in club football.

All of Lisander’s national football teams wear the same kit, which was first worn at the World Cup 100. It is currently half of the cycle, that should conclude with the presentation of a new uniform for World Cup 103. The home shirt is the traditional green, with a polo collar, cuffs and side panels in yellow. There's a texture of fleurs-de-lis on the green fabric. The second option is a white jersey with a graphic of light teal stripes that start at the chest that enlarge and go through the hem. The same color is used for the shorts and socks.

✨This photo is AI Generated, but was developed with original graphics made from scratch by myself, through image-to-image models. If the hosts are interested, I can share the original files, process and prompts.
I encourage people to use Artificial Intelligence tools in a rule-abiding and responsible manner.

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers: Yes
RP injuries to my players: Yes, as long is not lethal or career-ending
Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes
Hand out red cards to my players: Yes
Godmod any other event: As long as it's a very fun thing and you can wholeheartedly smile when explaining this to me through a TG or a message on Discord, yes!

Regarding AI use:
I use AI as a tool for developing images in my work as Graphic Designer. It's already part of my workflow, even for actual work. However, I do not have AI doing all the job for me, that would be lazy and dumb of my part. I just don't allow it to do whatever it thinks it's more probable. I keep it on a tight leash, feeding it exactly what I need, including extremely detailed prompts and all the visual input I can produce myself. Uniforms you see in the nice photo are not 100% AI-generated. I worked my ass on it, from grabbing reference images to drawing the jerseys and shorts as vector art. Once I had done the deed myself, I moved to AI (I use Nano Banana for these), but it were more hours of hell to put a proper prompt. So this isn't exactly "AI slop". There's a lot of me in there, and maybe some AI slop for the parts I can't go even further. When I feel the conditions are adequate, that I have enough information to pull up the AI image trick, I certainly will.

Regarding visual collaboration:
I'm checking my opponents rosters to see if there's chance of putting up graphics with collaboration, whether using AI or not. I know how to and have plenty of tools to help with uniforms and things, and I'm always offering to help improving the Visuals™ of my opponents, if there's interest, after all, it's more for me to work with. If there's some question, get in touch. In Discord, I go by the name of blanchecroix, and can be found on NS Sports Server as Lisander.

Time:
To match the timeline of Astyria, Lisander runs on Real Time, that is to say 1 day = 1 RL day. It may cause serious problems regarding transferring players whether in or out.

ROSTER | OPSTELLING
Di Bradini Cup 62 | Kampioenschap Di Bradinische 62

After a mediocre run in New Rotterdam's inaugural Campeonato Esportiva entry, the Ministry of Housing, Finance, and Sport has commissioned an all-colony youth team as a part of their efforts to become serious about football on the organizational level. Plucked from the best under-21s on other sports teams and also from the colony-wide tryout day, about half of this roster has never really played organized football.

The U-21 Snestaryan National Team

The Federazione Snestaryana Calcio is ready to introduce the U-21 youth National Team to the international stage (also known as the “Multiverse”), preparing its debut in the 62nd edition of the Di Bradini Cup! With a mix of already established Snestaryan stars and emerging young prodigies, the Viola is eager to challenge the other youth academies, under young Giulio Bettin’s guidance.

Football in Snestar

(Ai generated image in the background)

Ever since football was brought by Snestar, the sport has always been popular among the citizens, and it soon became the center of interest of local athletes. The first official top division, Division Alpha, was founded in 1899 and has seen a total of 18 different winners over its 119 editions so far. Despite the constant presence of the Big Three (

Lavenya,

Edervina, and

Dandelicha Continental), the league has stayed highly competitive, allowing for underdogs to claim high spots on the table (such as Arentas' incredible 7th place finish in the 2024-25 season, after just gaining promotion the previous season), though the mid-table and relegation battle are also usually entertaining to watch. This season of Division Alpha saw the title race contested between four clubs (

Lavenya,

Terselva,

Venistalya, and

Arentas), with Venistalya coming out on top after winning the title on penalties in a tiebreaker against Lavenya (the two clubs were tied on points in first place at the end of the regular season), while the Snestaryan Cup saw second divsion side

Dorolma win the trophy in a miracle run. Snestar's stadiums aren't too flashy, as due to the structure of Snestaryan cities, clubs usually choose smaller venues. Dandelicha's Stadio Olimpico, the capital's stadium, is by far the largest in the country, thanks to its 84000 seats. Other notable examples include Lavenya Stadium (61000 seats), Evergreens Arena (53000 seats), the Veralica Stadium (49000 seats) and the Victoria Stadium (48000 seats), which are the stadiums usually prepared for international matches (other venues are also taken into consideration for smaller stakes matches, since most of Snestar's stadiums do not exceed 30 thousand seats).

Youth academies in Snestar are well-known for their abilities to produce resilient, lasting players that can reasonably become Division Gamma to Division Beta (3rd/2nd divisions) starters, while a select few can hope to break into the ranks of the top flight. The most renowed academies obviously belong to the Big Three, since Lavenya, Edervina and Dandelicha Continental all heavily invest in the youth in hopes to find the next Snestaryan star within their own “farm”. However, Venistalya and Gridorya also possess high-quality facilities that regularly fuel the U-21 team.

Meet The Team

The Manager
Giulio Bettin
Age: 37
Personality: Cautious, innovative, gregarious
One might consider Giulio Bettin to be some sort of “youth manager”, judging by his exceptional young age for a manager. In fact, just five years ago, Bettin was playing on the pitch for Gridorya, before quitting football to pursue a coaching career. His journey as a manager started with then-newly-promoted 3rd division club Rovina Sole, which resulted in a great success that allowed the otherwise relegation contender to maintain a comfortable spot in Division Gamma, which still holds up to this day. Over the next few years, Bettin has had a few experiences with 2nd division clubs, before joining Venistalya as the coach of the club’s U-21 academy, and finally being given the call for the NT.

The Young Stars of the Viola

Marta Camilla Barami #2
Age: 19
Personality: party animal, silly, chronically online
Current club: Anticicló Molina (Bonusia)
Marta Camilla Barami was the one of the first Snestaryan to try her luck outside of the nation. Seeing how the Women’s Division Alpha lacked opportunities (the league is still under development), Marta chose to transfer over to Anticiclò Molina in Bonusia, where she has truly found a club where she can shine. Bring only 19, Marta is incredibly proud of her Starting XI spot in the National Team, and frequently teases her companions about it (with the main target of her digs being Maratea, her NT substitute), but everyone knows she's in good faith. Marta is also well-known among Snestaryans for her perennial presence in social media, mostly on Instagram and Reddit, and has been crowned a honorary moderator of the r/okbuddyzerogoals subreddit (the community where people poke fun at Division Alpha's characteristic lack of goals).

Simone Ramella #23
Age: 20
Personality: uninteresting, shallow, gregarious, bookworn
Current club: Venistalya
A returning presence in the National Team, having last played for the Viola, in the 92nd Cup of Harmony, Simone Ramella is a fairly inactive and indecisive person. He doesn’t care about starting in the national team, though at the same time he doesn’t mind the attention. He just plays football whenever he needs to, and even if he makes mistakes, he doesn’t care. After all, he knows that the Viola now has many right-back talents, so he knows his new place in the National Team is in the bench.

Riccardo Finamore #15
Age: 20
Personality: Dazzling, incorruptible, vain
Current club: Relv Sisse (Solvgaden)
Riccardo Finamore, just like his homonymous fellow senior-NT teammate Riccardo Cavaliere, is a romantic magnet for Snestaryan men and women. Unlike him, though, Finamore lacks the ability to keep himself humble. Despite this, he has maintained a surprisingly long "incorruptible" streak, taking compliments with style and sneaking out of difficult situtation, while at the same time boosting his own perception of himself. He still thinks he's incredibly smart for dodging countless drama, but he's obviously "underestimating his genius", quoting his exact words after a post-match interview.

Nicola Ragusa #14
Age: 20
Personality: compliant, calm, cheerful
Current club: Ardalya
Nicola Ragusa, usually the calmer, more obedient counterpart to Acanfora in the senior team, must hold a completely new role in the U-21 National Team. He usually follows the managers’ directions and is the one to keep the more hot-headed players in check. Now that he's had his time to get accustomed to the dynamics of the National Team, Ragusa has noticeably become increasingly more cheerful, spending a lot of time messing around with his teammates, especially enjoying visiting the host nations of the tournaments while waiting for the next training session.

Arminia Cremisi #16
Age: 19
Personality: fragile, shy, sheepish
Current club: Bolenya (Women)
Due to her connections with Camilla Carminya Cremisi, the former President of the Republic, Arminia had always been mocked by Snestaryan media for being a “mommy’s girl” and only playing in the Women’s Division Alpha (the top division in Snestaryan women’s football) because of her aunt’s importance in politics. Due to this, Arminia had always been caught in an unhealthy balance, alternating between school, training for her club Bolenya, and fending off the journalists. However, her debut in the national team seemed to have proven the media wrong: Cremisi's presence has definitely made a difference in the 101th World Cup, and it's likely that it will remain strong for at least a few more years.

Amos Castronovo #24
Age: 21
Personality: traditionalist, disciplined, observant
Current club: Edervina
Amos Castronovo has never been a fan of innovations in football: despite the countless breakthroughs with new and improved rules, refereeing systems, and tactical discoveries, Castronovo finds his best ground in traditional playstyles reminiscent of simpler times, influenced by his family’s name, always present in Snestaryan football history. Despite this, he has actually found himself to enjoy playing in a mixed national team, something he’d initially been skeptical of, and now looks forward to experience as part of the U-21 roster.

Mattia Castelletti #11
Age: 18
Personality: Insecure, creative, kind
Current club: Lavenya
One of the Snestaryan U-21 youth team’s key players, along with Barami and Lodigiani, Mattia Castelletti had always seen his talent recognized by the National Team's coaches (Camilla Arentas first, then Di Palma too). So far, Mattia Castelletti has proved to Snestar that he has the potential to make it big, especially after his efforts to bring the Viola to the 101th World Cup, and now that he's transferred to Lavenya, everyone is expecting him to become the next Snestaryan star.

Veronica Lodigiani #7
Age: 19
Personality: quirky, has difficulties speaking, optimistic
Current club: FC Bohunice (Calgasia)
Veronica Lodigiani is a short, apparently skinny woman, but she's full of power: with her exceptionally strong left foot, she's got the capacity to finish chances quickly, smoothly, and very consistently, which contributed to her success at Brega's women team. She is eager to learn more about football and improve her abilities in favor of more aggressive football, despite the Snestaryan National Team preferring a more defensive approach.

Kits

Home Away Third

Manager
Kasper Volheim
Age: 62
The experience of dealing with youth teams, even if it was only as just an assistant manager, paid off quite well for Volheim as he is now a key fixture in the national team program and likely to stay so long as the success at both the youth level and the senior level sustains itself. Shifting his ability to communicate with the young players under his command from the assistant position to the manager position will be a huge question, but he will look to capitalize on his experience with the senior team and his time as Faeron's assistant to try and take the Young Marauders forward. Surviving the change in management in the national team staff, thanks in large part to carrying the team to a win a previous DBC, Volheim looks to continue a budding youth tradition for the Empire.

Assistant Manager
Julius Miljeteig
Age: 54
A former national team level goal keeper, Julius has been brought on to replace Thor who held the role during the last tournament and has been working around the Raynor City United youth teams the last few years. Despite having no formal role as a manager before the appointment, Julius has consistently showed the talent and temperament for the position and has proven a real key asset to the staff during Volheim's tenure.

Keepers
GK: Milla Hansen, age 21, 6'1", 168 lbs, Hondo FC (F)
GK: Isabel Rudi, age 20, 5'10", 158 lbs, Raynor City United (F)
GK: Ingeborg Sørlie, age 19, 5'11", 171 lbs, Mar Sara FC (F)

When you think of Hondo FC, you often think about fluid attacking play with dynamic midfielders and clinical attackers, yet Hansen from the Owls academy looks to be the real package and has a lot of upside to believe in. A good height and with pretty impressive reflexes, she has the pure shot stopping ability that you are looking for at this age and a decent command of her box. If there is a bit of a weakness to her game, it is on set pieces as despite being a tall lass, she does seem a bit reticent to attempt to go up and either punch out or collect whipped in crosses in dead ball situations where her box ends up being crowded. You'd be hard pressed to find a measurable distance between Rudi and Sørlie behind her, both up and coming keepers developed at some of the best clubs in the nation but have little in the way of meaningful game time, unlike Hansen.

Defenders
LB: Nathalie Brevik, age 21, 6'0", 182 lbs, Wirr Tsi Lightning

(F)
LB: Ram Sisneros, age 19, 5'11", 175 lbs, Club Atlético Bexar
CB/DMC: Matheo Steen, age 21, 6'3", 188 lbs, Burnaby SC

CB: Lone Stavnes, age 21, 6'1", 184 lbs, Mar Sara FC (F)
CB: Matheo Eilertsen, age 21, 5'11", 160 lbs, Raynor City United
CB: Sandra Bjerkestrand, age 20, 5'10", 164 lbs, Hondo FC (F)
CB: Víctor Comejo, age 21, 5'10", 178 lbs, Club Atlético Bexar
RB: Eva Brekken, age 21, 6'0", 182 lbs, Z'ai'ai

(F)
RB: Galit Ortega, age 19, 5'8", 157 lbs, Club Atlético Bexar (F)

Defense is usually the weakest part of the team but that might be the case for this edition as a pair of fullbacks who have been playing in Chromatika does give the team a certain level of quality that might have been missing in the past. That's probably even more true for Eva Brekken who was part of a Red League winning squad with Z'ai'ai, and that sort of winning experience is the sort of thing that can help send players to a whole other level. Matheo Steen is one of the few holdovers from the team that competed in the last edition of the tournament and his experience there and in Kelssek should make the center of defense quite formidable, particularly since he is paired with Stavenes who has had minutes with Mar Sara's first team over the last two seasons. BOth Eilertsen and Bjerkestrand are solid back up options who both were part of spectacular defense units that were dominating the Premiership offenses this season, with all the Premiership based defenders likely a step above what would be the normal quality. This might go down as one of the most talented defensive corps that any level of the national team has had in some time.

Midfielders
LW: Johannes Riise, age 20, 6'0", 174 lbs, Mar Sara FC
LW: Lasse Bolstad, age 20, 5'11", 183 lbs, Hondo FC
D/MC: Einar Bråthen, age 21, 6'2", 184 lbs, CS Saint-Rémy

A/MC: Christoffer Ødegård, age 21, 5'8", 164 lbs, Rolalas FC
D/MC: Håkon Skar, age 19, 6'2", 188 lbs, Raynor City United
MC: Aksel Heggelund, age 21, 6'2", 179 lbs, FC Kaiserhaven

MC: Andrea Lindstad, age 19, 5'9", 162 lbs, FC Capri (F)
MC: Aksel Rusten, age 20, 5'10", 164 lbs, Rolalas FC
D/MC: Isak Torbjørnsen, age 19, 6'2", 202 lbs, SC Rinaldi
RW: Oliver Andersen, age 21, 6'0", 164 lbs, Busukuma Force

RW: Maren Stamnes, age 21, 5'7", 149 lbs, Soldarian FC (F)

The midfield offers the most amount of questions for the squad with five completely new starters and only two players held over from the last edition in form of Einar Bråthen and Christoffer Ødegård, who naturally have been named as two of the starters. They will be joined in the middle of the park by United product Håkon Skar, who looks to have the makings of quite a formidable destroyer type of player from the early signs of it. Einar is in a bit of a similar mold though is open to being a bit of a play maker and helping to break the press than Skar has shown thus far while Ødegård is a playmaker through and through, with a bit of a penchant for getting forward with late runs into the box. Oliver Andersen has translated a transfer to Banija into a starting role here and his mix of passing and scoring threat will be quite a valuable resource, especially if he continues to improve over the course of the tournament. Johannes Riise is not one of those scoring threats that have become quite common from the wing but you would be hard pressed to find someone with a better sense for passing lanes and timing as well as having a solid cross in his arsenal. It makes for a solid midfiled on paper but the true battles will be on the pitch.

Forwards
ST: Henrik Johansen, age 20, 6'0", 168 lbs, Raynor City United
ST/AMC/MC: Odin Berg, age 17, 6'2", 182 lbs, Eolorent

ST: Mira Næss, age 21, 5'9", 160 lbs, FC Capri (F)

Johansen has actually seen some first team minutes with Raynor City United in cup competitions and has looked very solid on the ball and with good insticts for being in the right place at the right time. While big enough to play in a bit of a build up role, he would prefer to go at opponents or get the ball put into his stride to take on the opposition defense than try the build up approach. Behind him is what everyone assumes will be a future national team starter if he lives up to his potential in Odin Berg, who already has a full season of first team action under his belt at seventeen. Eolorent believes a lot in the potential of the striker and while he would like to play much like Johansen, he is also keen on being that lever to bring the rest of the attack into the game. If the team is looking for a bit of pace and finesse then Mira should be the one to come off the bench as her blistering pace and ability to simply pass the ball into the net makes her quite a formidable asset, especially late on in games against tired legs.

Tactics
Volheim has had to adopt a new formation so that the team is playing in a way that is similar to the senior team for those who do end up making the grade and getting called up to the senior national team at some point in their career. Adopting a back four, the team will look to suffocate their opposition out with a crowding out in the middle and looking for the wingers to cut inside on the attack with the fullbacks staying wide and forward to provide width. It places a lot of responsibility on the lone striker to convert the chances that are made for them but with three players in the box and another two lurking outside it in the attack, there should be plenty of support apart from when the team breaks on the counter. Defensively the additional defender as well as a screening midfielder should keep the unit strong enough that the attacking talent should usually get enough goals to win most games.

This squad will employ a basic 4-3-3, with Kaeda Onozuki dropping back as a holding midfielder. The idea behind growing youth in Kamijiro is to teach the basics first - there will be very straight-forward football played by this side. The most notable players in this side are Yuzuki Namekawa, Icarus Dexius, Lucian Barrault, Tiago Santos and Shirō Hanegawa, all of whom have already made first-team starts in the top flight. The others are also solid players, though the team has a glaring talent disparity between the sticks, with neither of the two goalkeepers eligible actually playing in the football pyramid.

Regardless, the team looks to show that the future of Kamijiroan football is bright and ready for action.

Welcome to the Sports World of Großlöwenburg!
a proud germanic nation on the RP Map of Valsora in The East Pacific
See the roster here: this post

>Großlöwenburg<

Name: Großlöwenburg/Löwenburg/Lionsroar
Full name: Großkönigreich Löwenburg, Kingdom of Greater Löwenburg
State: absolutist monarchy with confederal entities
Trigramme: LWB
The people of Löwenburg are called: Burgish
Nickname: The Nobles, The Lions (preferred), The Yellow/Golden-Whites; for the U21: The Younglions or Junglöwen
Capital City: Löwenburg (City)

Großlöwenburg, Löwenburg (or Loewenburg) aka Lionsroar is an absolute federal monarchy with countless regional entities located in the south-western part of the region of Harg on the continent of Araseos on Valsora. The capital of the kingdom is the eponymous city of Löwenburg, located in the western heartlands. With a population of 7,772,273, it is the largest city in Löwenburg and, due to its cultural, political, and economic significance, a primate city. Löwenburg is a regionally divided entity with a federal monarchy and its administrative apparatus on top. Counties, Baronies and Duchies organise themselves in smaller territorial federations, making the government overly bureaucratic. The nation has a population of 123.6 million.

The U21 does not play at the same stadium as the home team, instead playing in a smaller stadium on the Sports Resort island in front of the Free City of Rüngen, Westmark, Großlöwenburg. The cader has 22 players, fielding a first group of people competing internationally for the first time ever. Just as the main team did in the IAC 26, the youth is on track for international competitions for the first time ever.

U21 Warkus National Football Team

Formation: 4-4-2
Style Modifier: +2

Nation: The Unified Kingdoms of Warkus
Demonym: Warkusian(s)
Trigramme: WAR

Overview: The Warkus National Football Association has established the nation’s second Under 21 squad for 61st Di Bradini Cup. This is in line with relatively recent (within the last six years, specifically) education reforms, which allow talented young athletes to complete an invite-only elite athletic educational track from age 15 onwards. Students who have been scouted for their talents by domestic youth academies were able to compete for a place in the Under 21 team and complete their studies at the Warkusian Institute of Sport.

The team plays a simplified and less physically demanding version of the tactic employed by Warkus's senior team in the form of a wide attacking 4-4-2 with a traditional back four, two central midfielders, two wide midfielders and two strikers. You’ll see a bit more structure and defensive stability than you would with the more fluid, attacking-focused senior side. But you’ll see a little less creativity as well. It’s Huw’s preferred approach for two auxiliary reasons too: it’s a cognitively challenging tactic that trains his player’s game IQ and it serves as preparation for players who might get called up to the senior squad.

Manager: Huw Beddoe, 37 y/o

Starting Lineup - 3-4-3 Diamond Formation

Team Management
Manager & Director of Youth Development: Anders Lyngstad - 47
Assistant Manager: Gunny Kristoffersan - 39

Forwards:

#14 Karsten Stefansan - FC Panausar - 20 y.o. - LW
#20 Thomas Kistner - Rega Lysborg (on loan with Cornham Town ) - 18 y.o. - CF
#9 Pelle Rodberg - Egerheim Kyst - 19 y.o. - RW
#18 Oliver Gold - Relv Elharad - 19 y.o. - FWD
#27 Ann-Katrin Dittmar - Olympisk Kolvereid - 19 y.o. - FWD
#12 Kasimir Beck - Stade Lenaux - 21 y.o. - FWD

Thomas Kistner is Solgavden's newest wonderkid, having already proved himself with both the U18 squad and the U21 squad. Considering his grandfather's legacy, he has a heavy weight on his shoulders, but still exceeds expectations by oozing talent. Pelle Rodberg is also a highly touted prospect, having led Solgavden in goals during his time with the U18 team. Karsten Stefansan is more unproven, but his pass-first nature gives his partners, who are expert finishers, to shine even more.

Midfielders:

#7 Ahsan Kandukuri - Alexia - 21 y.o. - CAM
#6 Rikke Brandt [C] - Olympisk Kolvereid - 21 y.o. - LM
#11Jacob Almstedt - Edervina - 20 y.o. - RM
#8 Helena Hoffman - Real Old Maiz - 18 y.o. - CDM
#11 Gabriel Carlssan - St. Mattias SK - 21 y.o. - MD
#41 Levi Schroeder - KS Ajac - 20 y.o - MD
#22 Albert Gunnarsan - Vennesberg United - 20 y.o. - MD
#13 Sibylle Breslauer - Abelvorden Striders - 20 y.o. - MD

Kandukuri is an electric midfielder, with an unmatched pace, and confidence to drive the ball up front. Meanwhile, Almstedt and Brandt are both more skilled passers, with Brandt already having a mind for tactics and strategy. Towards the back, Hoffman is the team's most versatile, and athletically gifted player, able to both hawk down opposing strikers, and gracefully avoid getting tackled by defenders.

Defenders:

#3 Martin Kallsberg - Relv Elharad - 19 y.o. - CB
#4 David Geiszler - Relv Sisse - 20 y.o. - CB
#2 Sonny Bjerregaard - Elvern Kavaleri - 20 y.o. - CB
#5 Arlo Dorrian - Vennesberg United - 19 y.o. - DF
#12 Heiko Shriver - Walsbruck FK - 18 y.o. - DF
#17 Troy Balkaran - St. Mattias SK - 20 y.o. - DF
#53 Marius Sollander - Rega Lysborg - 19 y.o. - DF

Geiszler is a beast on the pitch, taking it upon himself to make the lives of opposing strikers hell in a way that'll make even the dirtiest players cry tears of joy. Kallsberg and Bjerregard are like altar boys in comparison, being much more conventional with how they defend.

Goalkeepers:

#30 Jakob Anker - Pria City - 20 y.o. - GK
#19 Cyril Meldegaard - Othlesse-Surin United - 19 y.o. - GK
#55 Teresa Aznar - Elvern Kavaleri - 19 y.o. - GK

Perhaps the only thing Solgavish football is consistently good at would be developing above average goalkeepers. Anker has the potential to be a star one day, having sat for years behind the one of the greatest goalies in Kongensliga history. Meldegaard is also sitting behind a league great, after his improbable KH4 Cup run with Third Division side AFC Kramstad. Meanwhile, Aznar was the top goalkeeping prospect in the now defunct Solgavish Women's League, and now looks to make a name for herself in the Kongensliga.

Player Roles (in order):
Captain: Brandt
Vice-Captains: Kandukuri, Kistner
Corner: Brandt, Kandukuri, Hoffman
Free Kick: Kistner, Hoffman, Rodberg
Penalty: Kistner, Hoffman, Rodberg, Stefansan, Kandukuri 
Most likely to get a yellow card: Geiszler, Geiszler, Geiszler

Logo designed by Dantopia

Football is the by far most popular sport in Tikariot. The Tikariot Premier League is the highest tier of the Tikariotian football pyramid and is one of the most competitive leagues in the multiverse.

The fans of the Snowy Owls, called the Dark Tide, also deserve particular mention. Not only are they renowned for their chants, but they are also bringing the Thunder Clap ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8H-a8HTQL8]Click here for example) to the stadium, something that the players join in as a pre-game ritual that has left an impression on the opponents and opposing fans more than once (OOC: similar to the Haka of the New Zealand All Blacks). The players will form a triangle near the kick-off circle and lift their arms, which the fans do as well. Then a lone drum will start to signal the rhythm and both players and fans alike will move in unison, each clap accompanied by a loud cry, the claps (and cries) speeding up, creating an overwhelming sense of impending doom.

Ragnvald Fjällström - 62
Having been a coach in the Tikariotian football system for over three decades, Fjällström is a man of few words but when he talks, players, and people listen. He has been propagating Tikariot's flexible 4-3-3. The U21 is a difficult age group and he has been one of the most patient coaches in the system.

Dantopian Men's U21 National Football Team
Team Roster | Player Profiles | Manager & Tactics | Uniforms | Permissions

The Oceanic Paradise of Dantopia is an island nation located in the South Pacific. Dantopia boasts an idyllic tropical landscape, many clean and modern metropolitan areas, a vibrant and bustling tourism industry, along with major contributions from tech, financial services and retail. The Dantopian men's under 21s national football team represents the nation in youth international football. This will be their first appearance at a major youth international tournament, though the senior men's side have competed in a number of World Cups, and also won the inaugural South Pacific Cup a number of cycles ago. Just as the men's side are referred to as 'the Lions', the U21 squad are affectionately titled 'the Young Lions'.

Team Roster

Twenty-three players have been called up for the Young Lions' first Di Bradini Cup appearance, with a couple of players having even made senior first team appearances. This is seen as the strongest possible squad the Young Lions could assemble, especially with the inclusion of team captain Bradley Bing, a young star in the making at the Portland Pirates. The side are hoping to make their mark in their first youth competition.

Player Profiles

#2 — Omar Razzouk

Position(s): Right Back / Left Back | Age: 19 | Height: 181 cm (5'11'') | Weight: 73 kg (161 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Chester Chiefs (DAN) | Play-style: Wing Back
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
Razzouk has come through at Chester and saw increased minutes last year as deputy to the since retired Rešimir Terrik, and whilst the Chiefs has now signed Choppyhausenian Til Lampe to be the starting right back, Razzouk is expected to continue to develop well, capable of filling in at both full back roles. His best attribute is his tireless overlapping.

#3 — Nathanial Robinson-Grimes

Position(s): Left Back | Age: 21 | Height: 175 cm (5'9'') | Weight: 69 kg (152 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Left | Current Club: Waiakea Warriors (DAN) | Play-style: Wing Back
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
Robinson-Grimes has emerged as a contender for the left back spot at the exciting and dynamic Waiakea Warriors, though still serves as an understudy for Chromatik full back Arian Chambers. It's perhaps only a matter of time before the young Dantopian takes the reigns himself though. His slight frame is more than made up for by his relentlessness as a player.

#4 — Isaac MacArthur (3rd captain)

Position(s): Centre-Back | Age: 21 | Height: 192 cm (6'4'') | Weight: 92 kg (203 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Team Valiant (DAN) | Play-style: No-Nonsense Defender
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
MacArthur was originially a graduate of the Portland Pirates academy system, but has since found himself as one of the important starters for a Team Valiant side pushing for promotion back into Division 1. Tough-tackling, and aerially dominant, MacArthur is the most imposing of the four centre-backs selected, and is a valued leader within the dressing room as well.

#5 — Maleko Kershaw-Vale

Position(s): Centre-Back | Age: 19 | Height: 188 cm (6'2'') | Weight: 81 kg (179 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Crimsonhawke FC (TKT) | Play-style: Ball-Playing Defender
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
Kershaw-Vale opted to move abroad for his development rather than stick it out with the Aberdeen A's in Division 2, and his decision has proved masterful so far, with the nineteen-year-old earning a transfer to top club Crimsonhawke FC in Tikariot, following a solid first season at Port Tacassam. He is certain to be a regular in future Dantopian senior teams.

#12 — Tobert Wells

Position(s): Centre-Back | Age: 20 | Height: 187 cm (6'2'') | Weight: 82 kg (181 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Dartford Oilers (DAN) | Play-style: Covering Defender
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
Wells, a product of the Dartford Oilers academy, has faithfully served as an understudy to national team defender Makaio Cruz-Richards for a few seasons now, but could perhaps be in need of further game-time to ensure his development continues. He is a strong aerial presence in both boxes, and is a smart, sensible defender, rarely getting himself into trouble.

#16 — Milo Armellini

Position(s): Right Back | Age: 21 | Height: 177 cm (5'10'') | Weight: 70 kg (154 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Claminya (SNE) | Play-style: Wing Back
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
A dual Snestaryan/Dantopian national, Armellini is Claminya's starting right back in Snestar's top-flight. A capable wing-back who is both proficient defensively, and able to offer something on the overlap as well. Whether he chooses to represent Snestar or Dantopia at the senior level is still up in the air, in the mean time, being called up for the Dantopia U21s.

#19 — Billy Boateng

Position(s): Left Back | Age: 21 | Height: 180 cm (5'11'') | Weight: 70 kg (154 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Left | Current Club: Portland Pirates (DAN) | Play-style: Wing Back
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
Boateng's recent rise to starting left back for the Portland Pirates unseated senior national team regular Dwight Krol, who has subsequently moved abroad. Now, with the starting spot firmly his, Boateng will look to continue his rich vein of form, which saw him grab a goal and eight assists last season for his boyhood club, who finished in the IFCF places.

#21 — Sam Hargreaves

Position(s): Centre-Back | Age: 20 | Height: 185 cm (6'1'') | Weight: 80 kg (176 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Left | Current Club: Rockport Ravens (DAN) | Play-style: Ball-Playing Defender
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0 | Clean Sheets: 0
Hargreaves' selection as a left-footed central defender gives the Lions options at the back, and he is possibly the best progresser out of all four. He still serves as understudy to the starting pair of Bradman and Mykaelys at club level, and as such, misses out of the U21 starting line-up based on lack of playing time. He will be ready when called upon, however.

#6 — Beau Bonds (Vice-captain)

Position(s): Defensive Midfielder / Central Midfielder | Age: 20 | Height: 172 cm (5'8'') | Weight: 64 kg (141 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Dartford City (DAN) | Play-style: Deep-Lying Playmaker / Regista
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Beau Bonds has been the best Dartford City academy revelation in recent seasons, showcasing impressive playmaking abilities from the number six position. His diminutive frame means he's not quite the physical and dogged defensive midfielder one might expect from a six, but he is a silky, crafty deep-lying playmaker, with excellent long-balls and switches of play.

#8 — Malik Mooney

Position(s): Central Midfielder / Defensive Midfielder | Age: 21 | Height: 191 cm (6'3'') | Weight: 84 kg (185 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Mansanduni Union PFC (BIY) | Play-style: Box-to-Box Midfielder / Roaming Playmaker
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
The third of three Mansanduni Union players from Dantopia, Malik Mooney is tall, strong, and an great box-crasher. When poached from the Grenaders academy originally, he was seen to be lacking in his playmaking skills, but has worked on this part of his game to become a well-rounded central midfielder. He is equally adept at filling in slightly firther back.

#14 — Clayton Thorpe

Position(s): Attacking Midfielder / Central Midfielder | Age: 19 | Height: 185 cm (6'1'') | Weight: 77 kg (170 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Knetyohai City FC (CMT) | Play-style: Trequartista / Advanced Playmaker
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Thorpe is a true 'trequartista', who thrives on operating between the opposition midfield and defensive lines. He regularly finds pockets of space to exploit, using his impressive technical ability to drift past defenders with ease. He is also a capable set-piece artist. Chromatik Orange League club Knetyohai City have him down as a key figure in their rebuild.

#15 — Ryan Christopher

Position(s): Central Midfielder / Attacking Midfielder | Age: 20 | Height: 176 cm (5'9'') | Weight: 72 kg (159 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Left | Current Club: Lion City FC (DAN) | Play-style: Box-to-Box Playmaker / Advanced Playmaker
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Christopher switched his allegiences from Apollo FC to Lion City FC last season, and had a breakout year as a rotation piece for the capital-based giants. His two goals and five assists from a bench role showcased his creative prowess, though he perhaps lacks the physicality of some of his U21 midfield counter-parts. Still a valuable contributor to this side.

#20 — Bradley Bing (Captain)

Position(s): Central Midfielder / Attacking Midfielder | Age: 21 | Height: 193 cm (6'4'') | Weight: 88 kg (194 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Portland Pirates (DAN) | Play-style: Box-to-Box Midfielder / Shadow Striker
Senior International Caps: 14 | Goals: 2 | Assists: 1
Bing is the son of former national team defender Tyrell Bing, and came through at Team Valiant before making his way to the Portland Pirates. He is a physical specimen, already specialising in third-man runs, and is also a superior aerial threat. He has already made a number of appearances for the senior team, and is captaining the U21s in their debut tournament.

#22 — Odyssean Dawson-Ives

Position(s): Defensive Midfielder | Age: 20 | Height: 188 cm (6'2'') | Weight: 82 kg (181 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Shoreline Sharks (DAN) | Play-style: Ball-Winning Midfielder
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Dawson-Ives' brilliant season with East Bay United last season in Division 2 saw him earn a move to the Shoreline Sharks in the top-flight, though he will now play against his former club as they earned promotion back to Division 1 themselves. Dawson-Ives is the natural back-up for Beau Bonds, and is an athletic, physical and tireless ball-winning midfielder.

#7 — Alexander Apeti

Position(s): Right Winger | Age: 21 | Height: 178 cm (5'10'') | Weight: 78 kg (172 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Left | Current Club: Mansanduni Union PFC (BIY) | Play-style: Inverted Winger / Outlet Winger
Senior International Caps: 4 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Apeti is one of three Dantopians who moved to Mansandani Union, establishing himself as a key player for the Biyambian champions. He is a lightning quick winger, rapidly developing his game. He is regularly a counter-attacking threat, and is well-aversed at cutting inside on his favoured left food. He has a wicked curled shot on him, and can also take set-pieces.

#9 — Daniel Barbosa

Position(s): Centre Forward | Age: 19 | Height: 188 cm (6'2'') | Weight: 88 kg (194 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Dhun Lagarr FC (TKT) | Play-style: Target Forward
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Barbosa is the U21 side's sole target man, though will share minutes with the impressive Miles West, who is able to cover centrally very adeptly. Still, Barbosa's physicality, aerial prowess and ability to play with his back to goal will be key attributes the U21 Lions rely on regularly, and even if he doesn't start every match, he will likely play a significant part in all of them.

#10 — Miles West

Position(s): Left Winger / Centre-Forward | Age: 21 | Height: 186 cm (6'1'') | Weight: 82 kg (181 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Mansanduni Union PFC (BIY) | Play-style: Inside Forward / Advanced Forward
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
West is an inside forward with an abundance of pace, and a teammate of Apeti's at Mansandani Union. He is equally adept operating centrally, acting as an advanced forward, always looking to exploit opposition offside traps. He will likely see a lot of game time in this central position for the U21s, who have built the team around their fleet of foot in attack.

#11 — Tybalt Fox

Position(s): Centre Forward / Left Winger | Age: 21 | Height: 186 cm (6'1'') | Weight: 75 kg (165 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Rockport Ravens (DAN) | Play-style: Advanced Forward / Inside Forward
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Off the back of a tremendous campaign with East Bay United, earning his hometown side promotion back to Division 1, Tybalt (or Ty) Fox earned a move to the Rockport Ravens, where he will accompany Kanzlian forward Karel Verkerk in a front two under new manager Rhoderick Erdnussbougher. Fox is a bit of a tweener between inside forward and advanced forward.

#17 — Leandro Payne

Position(s): Left Winger / Right Winger | Age: 19 | Height: 180 cm (5'11'') | Weight: 78 kg (172 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Pontmeosont (AUP) | Play-style: Inverted Winger / Outlet Winger
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Instead of trying to break through into the Dartford City team, academy talent Leandro Payne moved to Auprussian side Pontmeosont, where he features as a starter. He has been very impressive so far, helping the club nab an IFCF Challengers Cup place in his debut season. He's yet another quick and agile Dantopian winger, though possesses excellent technique too.

#18 — Daniel Okafor

Position(s): Left Winger / Right Winger | Age: 21 | Height: 188 cm (6'2'') | Weight: 81 kg (179 lbs)
Preferred Foot: Right | Current Club: Portland Pirates (DAN) | Play-style: Inside Forward / Outlet Winger
Senior International Caps: 0 | Goals: 0 | Assists: 0
Okafor has continued to develop well in limited minutes at the Portland Pirates, and his role is expected to increase following the transfers out of wing pair Nico Hollins and Frederik Chiumbo. Whilst reinforcements have also come in, Okafor has impressed, especially in his ability to play either side of the pitch equally well. He is also a quality aerial threat.

Manager & Tactics

45-year-old Sydney Hawthorne takes control of Dantopia's first U21 side to feature at a major tournament. The coach has spent the better part of his career at youth set-ups across the country, first with the Portland Pirates, then Apollo FC, before latterly shifting his focus to the national team set-up. He has worked this group of players behind the scenes for a number of years now, and as such has grown a close bond with many of them, particularly those he oversaw at the Pirates and Apollo academies. Hawthorne is a pragmatics and tactically flexible manager, who likes to take advantage of the strong natural talents his squad possesses, such as the pace of the forward line and box-crashing in central midfield. He is also a stickler for good set-piece plays, and the national team will want to maximise on these chances when they get them.

Style Mod: +1.5

Styles of play:

Two distinct styles of play that the team regularly fluctuate between, and a strong emphasis on set-pieces

• In possession:
Structured; distinct patterns of play when building out from the back; emphasis on keeping possession of the ball; two advanced midfielders occupy gaps between the opposition midfield and defence; wingers use entire width of the pitch to stretch opposition defence; moderately high defensive line to push up the pitch, putting pressure on the opposition and creating an offside trap
• In transition:
Fast and direct; forward players stay high up the pitch to provide outlets for long balls either from the back or from the midfield; emphasis on exploiting the pace of forward players to attack the defence; focus on outside to in as the point of attack; late runs into the box from the two advanced midfielders; rest defence don't advance and provide structure in case of losing possession
• Set pieces:
Strong set-piece specialists in the team (C. Thorpe, A. Apeti); a multitude of carefully orchestrated set-piece plays; good aerial threats (B. Bing, M. Kershaw-Vale, T. Wells, D. Barbosa, M. Mooney, I. MacArthur, D. Okafor); C. Thorpe and A. Apeti take corners and free kicks; B. Bing takes penalties unless D. Barbosa is on the pitch.

Uniforms

Dantopia's traditional home colours are a navy shirt with white shorts and red socks. The away strip is a a white shirt with blue shorts and white socks. The third strip is an all-black ensemble (with black shorts and black socks too). In the event of shorts and socks kit clashes in an away fixture, alternative coloured shorts and socks are sometimes used (such as the navy home strip with navy shorts and red socks to avoid a clash with a team with white shorts etc.)
