The Whirl Islands Premier League Season 5

And the fifth Premier League ended with another title for the Sharks, who won their third national title and their second in a row, showing that they are by far, the best team in the Islands. Their arch-rivals, Navel FC, ended in second place and will join the Sharks in both the Champions' Cup and the Copa de Campeones. Although Atlantis, the Red Diamonds and Eastburg had a good start of season but their performance decreased in the following matches, they managed to clinch berths to the next Globe Cup. The United was the most favoured team with UICA coëfficients giving Whirl Islands an additional berth into the Champions' Cup, as their fifth place allowed them to qualify to the Globe Cup. Narissa and Union: so close yet so far from UICA places, as they ended trailing Eastburg by four points, newly promoted Náutico and Sparta did decent performances, while the Halcones will have to "enjoy" a one-season vacation in the Campeonato Nacional thanks to their dismal performance this Premier League season.

The Whirl Islands Campeonato Nacional Season 5

Racing de Terranova managed to crown themselves as champions and return to the Premier League after a hotly contested head-to-head against Port-Vieux FC. Despite both teams ended with 68 points at the top, Racing could get the promotion spot thanks to their two victories and a draw against Port-Vieux. Port-Vieux's consolation prize will be the SBCC, to which also qualified Racing, the Crocodiles and surprise package Olimpia, who ended in fourth place. Athletic Victoria were the disappointment of the season once again and Deportivo Maracaibo ended in last place (once again). Fortunately for them, their first "real" arch-rival is about to come...

The Astograthian Football League: Season 3

For the first time ever, and after a grueling third season, the Grand Duchy of Astograth opens its doors to international competitions and foreign players! Here follow the results of both the first and second divisions, as well as the Royal Cup. Names are translated to English for convenience, the native Astograthian in italics.

First Division (Taldo Lehan)

The battle for the league title was fierce at the top, with the top four teams finishing no more than two points apart from each other. This season it was Ituraitz FC (FK Ituraitz) who lifted the coveted trophy, for the first time ever. With an unusually young team, Gorriak reigned supreme conceding only 11 goals in 18 matches. Second place, only a point away, was attained by the ever-dangerous Sporting Iturributa (Zeladia Iturributa) while bitter rivals Royal Rumiatzi (FK Errege Rumiatzi) and Iturributa United (FK Bildu Iturributa) finished in third and fourth place, respectively, tied on 34 points. This season was not kind to the previous runner-up Urbizania Wanderers (Bidaztiak Urbizania), who came in fifth but a full 8 points behind United.

Further down the table Echegoyan (FK Echegoyan), Blue Mountain Range (FK Mendilorro Ardin) and South Factory (FK Lantaya Ego) remained in much the same positions as last season, while Royal Association (Errege Elkarteazun) and Athletic Club Rumiatzi (Kirrolklub Rumiatzi) did poorly and will be spending the next season in Second Division.

Team                            P   W  D   L For  Ag  +/- Pts
 1 FK Ituraitz                 18  11  3   4  30  11  +19  36 TQCC
 2 Zeladia Iturributa          18  10  5   3  28  15  +13  35 GC
 3 FK Errege Rumiatzi          18  10  4   4  27  16  +11  34 GC
 4 FK Bildu Iturributa         18   9  7   2  37  20  +17  34 GC
 5 FK Bidaztiak Urbizania      18   7  5   6  28  22   +6  26
 6 FK Mendilorro Ardin         18   6  4   8  15  20   -5  22
 7 FK Echegoyan                18   5  2  11  21  32  -11  17
 8 FK Lantaya Ego              18   2  9   7  21  34  -13  15

10 KK Rumiatzi                 18   2  5  11  23  42  -19  11 R

Second Division (Taldo Biharran)

With this being the first season in which promotion and relegation were implemented, the scramble for the top spots in the second tier looked to be intense, but surprisingly, Ituraitz Victory (Garaipen Ituraitz) and Ibarbe Polo Club (Poloklub Ibarbe) faced little competition securing them, with the second-placed Polo Club finishing 6 points clear of the much-improved Iturributa Racing Club (Lasterketaklub Iturributa).

Fueled by their desire to face their cross-town rivals next season, Victory scored 36 goals, which is significant when the second top goalscoring team was Astograth University (Astograthiko Unibartzitatea) with a paltry 26.

Of note were the forgettable campaigns of East Railway (FK Trenbide Eguzki) and Royal Garitzeta (FK Errege Garitzeta), who despite finishing first and fourth last season, came in a poor seventh and eighth this time. They weren't the worst though, as Miners (FE Meatze) and Oak Builders(FK Yaritzigile) will be going down to Second Division B.

Royal Cup (Errege Kopa)

This was the first season in which the new Royal Cup format was implemented. In the two seasons prior, the top eight First Division would play for it at the end of the season. Now, it consists of 32 clubs (10 First Division, 10 Second Division, 10 Second Division B, 2 non-league invitees).

Eventual First Division champions Ituratiz FC were held to a draw at home to the non-league Basabe Youth (ZK Basabe Gazteria) in the Round of 32, but avoided the upset in the away leg. Echegoyan FC was not so lucky, losing 2-0 on aggregate to the also non-league Ibarbe Youth (ZK Ibarbe Gazteria). Meanwhile, Iturributa United knocked out Astograth University in a 9-2 aggregate thrashing.

In the Round of 16, United continued its rampage with a 7-0 aggregate win over Miners, while cross-town rivals Sporting Iturributa defeated the reigning champions Royal Rumiatzi in a tense tie that went to extra-time.

Then came the Quarterfinals, where eventual league champions Ituraitz FC were sent home by Urbizania Wanderers following a penalty shoot-out. On the other side of the country, Oak Builders proved to be no match for Iturributa United as they again powered to a 12-1 aggregate victory. Second Division outfit Freedom FC (FK Aukera) did well to become the only non-top-tier semi-finalists by eliminating Blue Mountain Range in a close shoot-out. At the same time, the brick wall of Sporting Iturributa held fast to deny
Ibarbe Polo Club and creep into the next stage.

In the Semi-Finals, United overcame Wanderers with a 5-2 aggregate score, while Sporting had no trouble beating the underdog Freedom.

This set up a dream final: Iturributa United vs. Sporting Iturributa, the great city rivals. The unstoppable offensive power of United crashed into the immovable object that was Sporting's defense on the neutral ground of the 90,000 capacity Olympic Stadium. At full-time the score was 1-1, goals by Estebe Bularte and Kasen Mendieta, with Sporting confident they would come out on top of a penalty shoot-out due to their revelation goalkeeper Zernin Aira. In the 114th minute, however, Ximun Alurralde of United played a long ball down the middle from his own box. Striker Munio Baranzano ran after it like a madman, leaving his marker in the dust, and lobbed it past the keeper from outside the box in a stunning play that won Iturributa United its second Royal Cup.

The Challenge Cup occurred for the first time between the Premiers and Federation Cup champions, with Port Elizabeth beating West Orange 2-1 for their third cup of the year.

Because the NCFA is insane, they have decided to send teams to international competition for the first time. The following are the allocations for the cups, dependent on approval from the UICA:

TakilQuip Champions' Cup: Sussex County (Premiers)
Globe Cup: York City (Premier #2), Astur City (Premier #3), Star Point (Premier #4)
Chronowire Seires B Champions Cup: St. John's Athletic (Kodiak Champ), Port Elizabeth (Premiers Champ, State Premiers #1), Borussia Kalimund (State #2), South Holland (State #3, taking State #1)

For future reference, Premiers champion to Champion's Cup, Premiers 2-4 to the Globe Cup, and the winners of the Premiers Cup and Kodiak Cup, along with the top two from the State Premiership to the Series B. Should the Premiers Cup or Kodiak Cup winner already qualify, their slot will be allocated by the NCFA to either the #5 team from the Premiers (unless the qualified) or the #3 team from the State Premiers. This will alternate years, so the 2001 cycle will see the #5/6 teams from the National Premier gain access if a spot is open.

Best Chunnani Soccer Player Dies at Age 85

Chunnan's best legend Robert Goasla, grandfather of present day player Yoseph Goasla, died of Cancer. He scored many goals in his career but never got Chunnan to win a cup. Here are some images of his days:

Harmony Cup goal 2-1 verses Lekia

SIC Cup 1-0 verses South Chunnan (present day Chunnan)

Harmony Cup 2-1 verses Old Havnsk

He had a happy life and retired at age 42. He only made it to finals but no wins. Thank you for reading today's edition.

OOC: I have changed the names of some teams, but the previous TQCC/Globe/SDCC entrants remain the same, so it doesn't matter.

Allamunnic Soccer League (ASL)

Notes:

First things' first: in the Allamunnic States, association football is referred to as soccer. For all you purists out there who are outraged by this, note that American football is referred to as gridiron, and rugby football is referred to as rugby. Therefore, in Allamunnic parlance, there is no sport actually referred to as 'football'.

Quite unlike the situation in some other countries, in the Allamunnic States, soccer will probably always be, best-case-scenario, second-best in popularity (although third-best is really more accurate, here). Hence, the main problem; the lack of vitality of the Allamunnic Soccer League is a symptom of lack of interest and, some say, a lack of talent. While the latter probably isn't as severe as some claim, the fact is that soccer is not very popular, is not as mainstream, and so does not attract the same number of top-notch athletes that it does in other countries. The ASL has recently been attempting to attract foreign talent and has launched ad campaigns in an attempt to drum up interest in the sport at home.

Scorination to follow (very soon; like tomorrow).

Needlessly complicated format: Top 9 teams of the previously completed Kelssek Football League season are entered. The winners of the first round advance to the final round, and winners in the final round qualify for representation.

The highest-ranked of the three teams winning in the final round according to previous KFL season rankings will qualify for the TakilQuip Champions Cup; the other three teams are qualified for the Globe Cup (including the league champion if they lost their final round match).

League Preview

International Transfers:

Transfer season was very cold this year, as most of the biggest clubs of Zarbli already have their 3 foreign players maximum quota fulfilled. The only club that will count with a new international player is Cross SC, who hired Kagdazka and Pazhujebu's veteran midfielder Misha Spiridonov.

There were also some changes in internationals that were already playing in the country. The same Cross SC hired Cotdelapoms' right back Julien Laliberté from Pyramid AC; Warriors lost Greater Costwalds' midfielder Kristoff Scholtens for Lichen; But the star of this season's transfer window was, by far, Pyramid AC. We already said that the club lost Julien Laliberté, but they got Toiletdonian Puppa Kino from Polar Zenith, and the club was also the only Zarblese club this year so sell players for international clubs: GK Gran Sultano will defend Kagdazka and Pazhujebu's Zhevassi and CB Logan Vouverine will play for the Cafundelense club Eldorado.

Duke League's 20:

Battle

Nickname: The Red Stripes
Nation: Kampis Batalidis
Colors: Red-White
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: 100 Bali (ammo)
Venue: Kazis Treta Stadium (85,000) (Battle, KB)
Position in DL-IX: Champion
Titles: 4 Duke League Crowns
Squad: Magno; Paton, Jenerau, Barak and Cipriano; Blek, Kalma, Dekaxias (c) and Kan; Karazaua and Tikka
Coach: C. Uidmor
Highlights: The crown holder and club with most DL titles is, once again, one of the favourites for winning the title. It's getting kinda boring, really.
Expectations: Title

Warriors

Nickname: The Blue Stripes
Nation: Goi
Colors: Blue-White
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: 100Bali (ammonition)
Venue Tirazu Stadium (94,000) (Goyoreh, GO)
Position in DL-IX: Runner-up
Titles: 1 Duke League Crown
Squad: Taison; Espadaxim, Varvay, Limin and Kasadora; Loke (c), Dulgi, Dunlap and Li; Tamaxiro and Ford
Coach: O. Augustus
Highlights: Do you see something odd about Warriors' team for this season? I do, and you know what it is? It doesn't look ANYTHING like last season's second place squad. Something very weird happened to the Blue Stripes for DL-X, that's for sure.
Expectations: Midtable

Asia FC

Nickname: The Orientals
Nation: Igualibridis
Colors: Orange-White
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: Tsuriaikoku Denwa Kaisha (telecom)
Venue: The Great Football Temple (60,000) (Orient, IG)
Position in DL-IX: 3rd
Squad: Gregio; Akiles, Grey, Konstantinus and Xixi; Teutoniko, Aratorn, Holmes and Dijin; Iamaxiro and Xubert.
Coach: M. Setung
Highlights: After a great campaign in the last DL, Asia FC bets on keeping most of last year's team in order to do another good job, maybe even better. Competition will be tough, though.
Expectations: International Competitions

Knights

Nickname: The Noblemen
Nation: Pauzis
Colors: Red-White-Black
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: Tam-Tim (airlines)
Venue: Tam-Tim Stadium (70,000) (Pauzis City, PA)
Position in DL-IX: 4th
Squad: Kent; Treta, McGillmick, Bragansa and Kazam; Lictenstain, Amarau, Nelson (c) and Romanov; Iturbide and South.
Coach: E. Deeitse
Highlights: After ending DL-IX in the top 4, Kights wish to, at least, do the same this year. Chamces are, though, that with the retirement and selling of some key players and their subsequent replacement with rookies won't get the Noblemen such great expectation fulfilled.
Expectations: International Competitions

Polar Zenith

Nickname: The Aliens
Nation: Zenitis Polris
Colors: Light Blue-White
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: PK Pharmaceuticals (chemicals)
Venue: PK Dome (94 ,000) (Zenith, ZP)

Squad: Mandemartelo; Muliermaravilia, Labelle, Gaviria and Flex; Romana, Sefalotoraks, Miniokina and Grauberio; Ieroglifo and Idtaile
Coach: L. Piginne
Highlights: The retirement of manager Kazalberto Ziohati is the biggest news in Polar Zenith for the Zarblese League. With the coming of some not so great players, no one can say for sure if such news is good or bad though.
Expectations: Midtable

Billiard

Nickname: The Gamblers
Nation: Biliar
Colors: Red-White-Blue
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: Fehduris Sports Casino (gambling)
Venue: Fehduris Sports Casino (105,000) (Vegas, BI)

Squad: Pitkin; Kopas, Gluksburg and Gota; Gandi, Batman (c), Kasanikeis, Irada and Deiz; Avt and Sliseao
Coach: M. Manezin
Highlights: Billiard has put together a better team for DL-X that they had last year. Slightly better.
Expectations: International Competitions

Romans

Nickname: The Centurions
Nation: Kampis Senturiond

Kit and Logo
Sponsor: Spartakus (sports events)
Venue: Colizeu Masimis (77,000) (Colosseum City, KS)

Titles: 1 Duke League Crown
Squad: Hobespiehe; Lirolton, Agripina, Aurelius and Tudor; Henriksen, Druzilia, Dalomax and Milestone (c); Lanternaverde and Masimus
Coach: P. Gomen
Highlights: The Centurions seems to have done a good job in putting back together their defensive side, and if you take a close look you will be able to see that Romans will play with the finest 11 since the legendary squad that won DL-V.
Expectations: International Competitions.

Cannibals

Nickname: The Eaters
Nation: Kanibaldi
Colors: Green-White-Blue
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: Leko (toys)

Expectations: International Competitions

Cross SC

Nation: Krusdis
Colors: Green-Yellow
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: Abadia (beer)
Venue: Enkrusliadis Stadium (40,000) (Templar Castle, KR)
Position in DL-IX: 9th
Squad: Ichuvihaja; Laliberté, Mixel, Pia and Kunglao; Trotski, Paxeko (c), Spiridonov and Avis; Burana and Ninpoco
Coach: B. Nevidz
Highlights: Look at this team. Now look again. Do you see that? I mean, Julien Laliberté? Misha Spiridonov? Xapeu Kunglao? Cross SC has made huge improvements in their squad for this season, and I risk saying the hugest a medium club has ever done do far. Maybe Templar Castle's football fans will have a lot to see in DL-X.
Expectations: International Competitions

Pyramid AC

Nickname: The Camels
Nation: Piramidi
Colors: Blue-Light Blue
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: PretoBraix(oil)
Venue: Marakanan (88,000) (New Cairo, PI)

Coach: H. Segundo
Highlights: Pyramid AC looks very, I don't know, what's the word... bleh.Yes, they look bleh. We're all expecting a very bleh campaign for them this year.
Expectations: Midtable

Montain Chain

Nickname: The Hikers
Nation: Zenitis Polris

Squad: Digan; Koifa, Asasino and Akuamen; Apeninos, Manson, Umano, Gagari and Martelinio; Iulius and Vezuvio
Coach: G. Omenlivre
Highlights: In the last DL, the Hikers did as well as one could expect for a medium club that had just returned from a year in the ML. It looks like they are about to do exactly the same.
Expectations: Midtable

Lunar

Nickname: The Astronauts
Nation: Luadis
Colors: Purple-Yellow
Kit and Logo

Squad: Semoa; Spoken, Peis and Ataka (c); Estrela, Iuri, Faluza, Xeia and Vietkong; Lekter and Vonhictofen

Squad: Dabliubuxe; Obarbaro, Litz, Mohinder and Vangog; Uiliams (c), Xepard, Dali, Osten and Pavaroci; Sapata
Coach: B. Norman
Highlights: The Old Club has not done much for making last year's squad better, so we might expect the same for this season: nothing.
Expectations: Midtable

Morphologic

Colors: Red-Light Green-Blue
Kit and Logo
Sponsor:Disionariis Paskuale (books)

Squad: Jin; Martinluter, Proparoksitona, Aspas and Neolojismo; Sirkunflekso (c), Deasis, Kraze and Koligado; Oksitona and Erzog.
Coach: A. Deolanda
Highlights: It was a huge deed for Morphologic to stay in the DL for the second season in a row, but we cannot be surprised if they do not succed yet again.
Expectations: Relegation

Goyoreh

Nickname: The Crazies
Nation: Goi
Colors: Blue-Yellow-Red-White
Kit and Logo
Sponsor: LokurisLokurisLokuris (television show)

Squad: Sintatika; Pokoto, Breno, Molibdenio and Kuon; Ualt, Bargous, Hikardin, Ifen and Jahad and Totalis
Coach: S. Parsela

Position in ML-IX: 1st
Squad: Algazul; Kuon, Huk, Ajende and Samabaia; Areia, Verbal, Monokotiledonea and Loukus (c); Scholtens and Telinde
Coach: G. Klorofila
Highlights: Gloria Klorofila has a very nice squad to work with this year, with way better players that she had at her disposal in last year's Marquiss League winning campaign. Lichen might be considered, alongside with Cross SC and Revolutionaries, the best candidate for the League's surprise.
Expectations: Midtable

Revolutionaries

Nickname: The Headless
Nation: Biliaris

Sponsor: Barbahala (men's cosmetics)
Venue: Revolution Square Stadium (47,000) (New Revolution, BI)

Coach: M. Kurulei
Highlights: Revolutionaries' direction is doing a great job in recostructing this once great club. The squad they put together this year is a display of this job, and the team might go far in this DL. If you take under account that they have just come from the ML, of course.
Expectations: Midtable

To nobody's surprise, Skarrsboro United and Royal Koenigshalloe were the two most winningest teams. Led by Tyrr Dunnmaar, who had another huge year (scoring 49 goals for Skarrsboro), SKU took out pretty much everything in their way, winning all but seven games. But Royal Koenigshalloe, if anything, was even better. With the combination of strikers Shaan Aachensholm and Kristofur Shoelur, Koenigshalloe managed a thirty-win season.

UFA Cup

Wexwick 2 - 1 Gratizoli

Platinum League

The 66th edition of the Platinum League was one of the best yet, with record-breaking wins, spectacular meltdowns and the birth of a new generation of stars. The title race was wrapped up in February, or so we thought. Ten points clear and with a game in hand over their nearest rivals Athletic Stanza, Wexwick completely and utterly capitulated and went on a run of 6 straight defeats, the club's worst run for 40 years. Manager Jeffery Bowe was sacked and replaced with former Central City manager Raul Gonzalez, who steadied the ship to an extent and secured the final Globe Cup spot and managed to win the UFA cup, the club's second in as many years. The collapse of Wexwick's title challenge meant that the league was Stanza's giving them their 14th title, putting them 1 ahead of Gratizoli as the most successful Unitopolitan club ever. Behind Stanza, Zamba Torpedoes and New Dublin Dragons made up the remaining Globe Cup entrants. The Torpedoes had suffered an exodus of their biggest stars last season as they failed to get international football and finished a miserable 7th. But out of nowhere this season, their young players and academy graduates took it upon themselves to perform and they almost won the league. With the average age of the squad just 22, they look sure to be title challengers for years to come. 3rd last year, a lack of investment and an injury-plagued defence meant Van Sahar could only finish seventh. Of the newly promoted teams, Borderlands Sport did the best, finishing 16th. Zolka 1906 and Bray Bullets were relegated along with MacMurragh Gaels who were realistically relegated by Christmas with just 4 points from 18 games. While Demokratos were unable to repeat the heroic finish of last season, manager Alexis Papadoupalos did well on a small budget to survive in the league.

Golden Boot

Coreninho 	Athletic Stanza 	26 goals 
Shola N'Zwanga 	Zamba Torpedoes 	23 goals 
Niall Hunt 	Wexwick 		20 goals 
Peter Amadeus 	New Dublin Dragons 	18 goals 
Dennis Puffin 	Gleeson City United 	17 goals

Hibernium B Division

In the Hibernium B division, last years UFA cup finalists Litmus Avenue FK, Royal Valley Police and Xavier Athletic were all promoted, while Chitwick University had to be content with a spot in the SBCC. While frost and snow disrupted some games of the league, it was still finished by May, with Korlokis, New Dublin Cosmics and Flyth Athletic relegated. The Cosmics had a pretty good reason for their relegation, their two leading scorers were arrested in January with the club 11th and sentenced to 8 month spells in prison for assault, vandalism, disturbing the peace, grand theft auto, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of drugs with intent to sell. Without their two strikers, the Cosmics fell apart and were relegated.

Mahathu's Number One English Language Daily

KPFA League First Division 5245 Season Preview

Tertius Shajarhayam – We simply must begin with the hot news out of Dyurtyuli, where the sixteen owners of First Division clubs and representatives of the owners of Second Division clubs met for the quintennial Assembly of Owners conference. There was but one truly important item on the agenda: the situation regarding the Relegation/Promotion Round.

Various press groups, fan organizations, and players unions have complained since the inception of the KPFA League that the Relegation/Promotion Round was nothing more than a glorified lottery, and it has become very hard to disagree in recent years. The promotion of Iguani Yayal, universally agreed upon, except by Iguani fans, to be one of the worst teams to go up to a major top flight league anywhere in the world, has galvanized the controversy into a structured argument to do away with the complicated system altogether.

The R/P Round had become known in recent years as heavily biased towards teams who had (thanks to the draw) been given home games in the latter matchdays of the mini-league, as they could simply play for the draw in away fixtures and then prey on already-eliminated clubs on home turf. This is precisely what Iguani did to earn promotion, and while it is well agreed that Iguani have every right to be in the First Division this year, the promotion of such a lousy team (at the cost of more talented teams like Dynamo, Bijji, and YKY) is alarming.

So the sixteen owners of the First Division clubs and an envoy elected by the owners of the Second Division clubs gathered in the nation’s largest city to put it up for a vote. With a majority, the Relegation/Promotion Round would be replaced by a much less complicated system; the three worst-placed teams in the First Division would go straight down, to be substituted with the three group winners of the Second Division.

As the first ballots began to be filed, Angels, Urnabhi, and Nekromanti, all worried about their own skins in a system where more teams would be guaranteed to go down, voted against the abolition, whereas Vulkan were the only team to be for it. 3-1 in favor of keeping the current system seemed pretty significant.

It didn’t seem to be any different as Begemoti, Krevetka, and Yastrabi (all of whom had been thought to be in the ‘yes’ camp) voted no, and though it was no surprise that the Second Division representative voted yes on behalf of the twenty-seven second-tier clubs, when the overall vote tally was six to two against the abolition, it seemed to be a clincher. Only three more no votes and it would be in the bag.

But then the rest of the votes started coming in. Xenon, Juvapanam, Shadows, and Gimnasia all voted yes to bring the vote total to six yes’s and six no’s. Iguani voted no, but Zhevassi and Therakham voted yes, and one more yes would be the final abolitionist vote.

FKM and Urajbina love to feel like they are the deciders in terms of the league’s overall direction, don’t they? So it was no shocker that they were the last two clubs to cast their votes. Both unsurprisingly voted for the abolition, and it was official. The Relegation/Promotion Round was and is a thing of the past.

More big news! The latest edition of UICA coefficients has just narrowly placed the First Division in the next-highest category of leagues, and this means that Kagdazka and Pazhujebu will send a second team to the TakilQuip Champions’ Cup next year. This will self-evidently double our chances of sending a team to the group stage of club football’s most lucrative and prestigious event for the first time.

Perhaps, then, it is no coincidence that the transfer market has been a busy one. Quite a few moves have occurred between First Division teams, but several major entries into the league from foreign sources can be reported as well. The cash to buy these players has however been raised by the sale of the Federation’s best talent, and there is no better example of this than the sale of Fušia Oujadda to giants Ranca Toco of Cafundéu.

This story would be remarkable enough on its own without the weight of history. The young winger/striker is in the form of her life and has just come off a sensational championship season with Juvapanam and an unlikely World Cup qualification with the national team, and was absolutely vital in both teams’ success. Her young age (and therefore the fact that she can only get better) is just one more bonus. So when the defending Globe Cup champions came knocking, it was a surprise, but not a big one.

What is so remarkable is that once, long, long ago, there was another sensational young attacking Juvapanam player who made big enough waves to earn a move to Ranca Toco: Oujadda’s Urchins (and now former Juvapanam) teammate Šušan'ikara Ghur. In a romantic way, history seems to be repeating itself.

What is different now is that the Ranca Toco of Ghur’s day was a shadow of the club’s modern behemoth status as one of the Primeirona’s best five clubs. The TQCC was at the time of Ghur’s transfer merely a twinkle in the eye of some Capitalizt SLANI organizer, but Oujadda’s Ranca Toco are former winners of the competition. Her involvement in the juggernaut side is by far the highest-profile job a Kagdaz or Pazhujebi player has obtained, ever.

In other transfer news, Zhevassi’s juggernaut financial department has continued to rear its awesome head by continuing the club’s spending spree, now internationally. Zarblese goalkeeper Gran Sultano is on his way, as is former Cafundéu international Nelsinho, a left back. The Zhevassi lineup is now on paper the best in the First Division by quite a distance: Vuhumkara, Vasilisa, Qiva, Albornos, Nelsinho, Akhmetbekov, Sultano, Omelchenko… who’s going to beat them? Then again, no team has ever tried to buy the First Division title before, so who knows if this gigantic power play will actually work? They certainly hope it will down south; this is Qiva’s last season and they want to let him retire on a winning note.

Elsewhere in the league… far be it for us at the Herald to say it (as we’re mostly Angels fans), but Therakham have been quietly making smart purchases as well, having brought in Timriz from Angels and now the attacking midfielder and former Cafundéu first-teamer Da Costa. Renovations of the Therakham Velodrama are reportedly done, with more press boxes and modern amenities available. Further, talk is bullish on the other half of the capital that the relatively young but tactically well-drilled Starblaydi manager Corazo Fortran is going to have his ducks in a row strategically speaking. The black and blue might be a team to watch this year, even though everyone’s talking about Zhevassi and Juvapanam.

Speaking of which, the defending champions have seen a bit of activity in their lineup as well. Ghur is back for yet another year (honestly, we’ve given up on trying to predict when he’s going to quit), and though Oujadda is, as mentioned above, on her way to Cafundéu, the club have done what they are usually not known for doing: they’ve spent some money. Their purchases have been intelligent, bringing in proven players in defensive midfielder Edorta Urrustoy and striker Hakan Mendez. The sky and silver could very well repeat this year, despite being without the superstar teenager Oujadda.

Urajbina are another team on the radar, and would love to shut both Zhevassi and Juvapanam up in the same year by winning the league themselves. They have lost Ogorodov and Chadi, which will be significant losses, but they have acquired Akbarabadi midfielder Zohaib Khan, reportedly at the behest of incoming manager Steven Sanchez, who will be taking the job midseason once the Cup of Harmony ends and his contract with the national team of his home country (Pretty Awesome Persons) expires. Khan’s arrival in the center of the pitch will give Aleksei Vazavorski the long-awaited opportunity to move back over to his native left side.

And then… ugh. I guess we won’t be able to get away with leaving this out, even though we’d so like to. As most of you will know, the Herald is very much a pro-Angels newspaper, which means we can’t stand Therakham since they’re the other major Mahathu team. So everyone can gloat all they want that we’ve lost our best two players in Timriz and Spiridonov, making us an even sadder sight than before. Guess what? As a condition of Timriz moving to our hated black and blue rivals, we’ve got their manager, and he’s no chump. Ugo Stowell, you’re a legend and you’re our only hope over here on the red and blue side of Mahathu! Please, please, please keep us from getting relegated!

Team-by-Team Breakdown

ANGELS
Colors: Red, sky blue, and purple
Cities: Dyurtyuli, Kagdazka and Mahathu, Pazhujebu
Manager: Ugo Stowell (Queer Poco el Mono Ara)
Notable Players: -
Finish Last Year: 13th
Expectations: Relegation danger
Notes: A disaster. What was once the juggernaut of the old Pazhujebi and Kagdaz leagues has sunk to new lows. Without Timriz or Spiridonov, relegation is downright likely. But fans have accepted that rebuilding is what must be done, and they have placed their faith in Stowell. There is still a treasure trove of cash floating around; all we need is a little bit of luck. Hey, our stadium hosted the TQCC final! We can’t be that bad, right?

BEGEMOTI
Colors: Dark green, yellow, and white
City, Country: Rylsk, Kagdazka
Manager: Yegor Gaznayev (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: -
Finish Last Year: 15th
Expectations: Relegation danger
Notes: They had a terrible season last year, and the only reason they’re still kicking around the First Division is because they were one of the two teams to emerge from the last ever Relegation/Promotion Round. They’ve replaced their manager with the knowledgeable and experienced Gaznayev, and their frigid home ground is still a fortress; a nightmare to travel to for opposing teams, but the outlook is still grim.

FKM
Colors: Orange and silver
City, Country: CMZ Metropolitan Area, Kagdazka
Manager: Cheslav Isyanov (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: Ayleeth, Radic, Rostov, Tikhomirov
Finish Last Year: 6th
Expectations: Upper mid-table
Notes: In the 5243 season, they were dominating the league. Now they’ve stooped to the low of buying Nekromanti centre forwards in an effort to save cash, as evidently it’s hard to come by in the CMZ right now. Without Vuhumkara, FKM will clearly be a different team. He was such an important player on the pitch and such a fan favorite off of it. FKM’s glory days are over. They could get a Globe Cup place, but it’s a long shot.

GIMNASIA
Colors: Turquoise and wisteria
City, Country: Gelendzhik, Kagdazka
Manager: Zivan Zagorinski (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: Levantis, Monalté, Nikolic
Finish Last Year: 9th
Expectations: Upper mid-table
Notes: Their debut year in the Gelendzhik Stadion was a big disappointment; they wanted a UICA spot and didn’t get it. It could be they need a few years under their belt in their new digs, it could be they need some new players, or it could be they need a new manager. Owner Maxagonal went with the latter, hiring the transfer guru Zagorinski, who will have a couple years to work his magic before the clock strikes midnight.

IGUANI
Colors: Eggplant and silver green
City, Country: Yayal, Kagdazka
Manager: Cjkbavkc Qd (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: -
Finish Last Year: Second Division, Group C, 1st
Expectations: Relegation danger
Notes: Don’t worry, no one in the Federation knows how to pronounce the manager’s name either (apparently it's something like ‘chibavik kood’). Also, no one in the Federation knows how they got promoted. A staunch defense was their saving grace as other teams in their group folded like origami, but without playmaker Nono Jariku (who's been transferred), Iguani are an absolute lock to go back down. They might not even win a single game.

JUVAPANAM
Colors: Sky blue and silver
City, Country: Juvapanam, Pazhujebu
Manager: Šudhan Chahachim (Pazhujebu)
Notable Players: J. Chahachim, Ghur, Mendez, Urrustoy
Finish Last Year: Champions
Expectations: Title contenders
Notes: As fast as Oujadda meteorically rose to prominence for this defending champion club, she was bought away. But that’s okay. The sky and silver have opened the pocket book and snapped up a couple of skilled foreign players to shore up their spine. Mendez will replace Oujadda’s goals and Urrustoy will fill the enforcer role from deep in midfield. A title repeat is hardly unimaginable and a UICA place is basically guaranteed.

KREVETKA
Colors: Wisteria and white
City, Country: Oktyabrsk, Kagdazka
Manager: Kiriyak Dzhamgerchinov (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: Amandguord, Ilych, Semënov
Finish Last Year: 8th
Expectations: Lower mid-table
Notes: So much for a title challenge. Just when people were ready to start giving Krevetka the renown they seemed to deserve, they went and had an abysmal year. The addition of Semënov was about as useful as a limp carrot and Ilych’s form dropped off the cliff. But Narniel Amandguord is still one of the best strikers on the planet, and as long as the Shrimp can put the ball at her feet they’ve always got a chance.

NEKROMANTI
Colors: Black and red
City, Country: Fatezh, Kagdazka
Manager: Taras Strogolev (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: -
Finish Last Year: 14th
Expectations: Relegation danger
Notes: Well, they’re still up, due in no small part to an excellent start to last year. But then they sunk into oblivion as expected in the summer and autumn months, and the close season has seen a couple of their better players leave in Yakoleva and Rostov. All the signs point to Nekromanti finally going back down this year, but who knows. The red and black always seem to pull something out of nowhere, and they could do just that again.

SHADOWS
Colors: Silver and black
City, Country: Pkethat Šede, Pazhujebu
Manager: Miron Stefanyshyn (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: Corretja, Elminster, Ignatyev, Uharhi
Finish Last Year: 5th
Expectations: Chance at Globe Cup spot
Notes: The only problem (for purists, at least) with green-lighting this club’s chances is that their philosophy is one of austere defense and cynical tactics. But you have to give it to them: they have the players to pull it off. Corretja and Elminster have been in great form for their national teams and Uharhi is hell-bent on reclaiming his place on the Federation’s national team, so Shadows could go places this year.

THERAKHAM
Colors: Blue, black, and white
City, Country: Mahathu, Pazhujebu
Manager: Corazo Fortran (Starblaydia)
Notable Players: Da Costa, Khorkuleva, Razava, Timriz
Finish Last Year: 4th
Expectations: Title contenders
Notes: Does anyone remember the good old days when Therakham dangled above relegation like a prisoner above a cauldron of boiling oil and Angels ruled the league with an iron fist? Sigh. Those days are history, as the black and blue have earned the right to call themselves title contenders with their consistent top-five league finishes and their financial 180. With Timriz and Da Costa, they’re only going to look better.

URAJBINA
Colors: Yellow, blue, and red
City, Country: Urajbina, Pazhujebu
Manager: Steven Sanchez (Pretty Awesome Persons) *
Notable Players: Bhara, Burke, Khan, Vazavorski
Finish Last Year: 3rd
Expectations: Title contenders
Notes: You can imagine how Juvapanam’s championship went down across the bay: not well. First Urajbina had to watch one rival in Zhevassi win two titles and then another in Juvapanam win one? It’s on. Tsilevich, Ogorodov, and Chadi have been tossed on the chopping block (we at the Herald aren’t sure if those were good ideas) and Sanchez is in, set to start a tactical revolution. Khan is the first of what could be many additions.
* = Sanchez will not arrive until after Cup of Harmony 46 ends

URNABHI
Colors: Dark pink and orange
City, Country: Emuzhezh, Pazhujebu
Manager: Brutušam Erassi (Pazhujebu)
Notable Players: Vaskaryev
Finish Last Year: 12th
Expectations: Lower mid-table
Notes: If a small club wants to know how to hold a place in the First Division against all the odds, read up on Urnabhi. First, survive your first year. Second, raise the cash to buy a major player. Third, build your team around that player. Fourth, and most important of all, don’t go firing your manager. They’ve stayed true to Erassi, and he’s proven himself to be one of the most resourceful coaches in the league. His team is safe from the drop.

VULKAN
Colors: Burgundy and wisteria
City, Country: Gelendzhik, Kagdazka
Manager: Pazhuj Yivashaktim (Pazhujebu)
Notable Players: Hu, Shcherbina, Stefanovic
Finish Last Year: 7th
Expectations: Chance at Globe Cup spot
Notes: Well, seventh was technically an improvement over last year… but this is a club that considers itself part of the Big 5, so it’ll have to get better. They’ve fired their manager and put former goalkeeper Yivashaktim in the hotseat, sold the up-and-coming defender Mizirov for some cash, and re-acquired Shcherbina from Zhevassi. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start, and UICA places are a perfectly reasonable expectation.

XENON
Colors: Navy blue
City, Country: Gvardeysk, Kagdazka
Manager: Alexandre Ogrande (Zarbli)
Notable Players: Belyakov, Denisov, Jariku, Lomi, Thašighi
Finish Last Year: 11th
Expectations: Lower mid-table
Notes: Ogrande was supposed to be a great manager, but he’s struggled in two consecutive years. The dark blues have given him another chance, but players like Thašighi and Lomi will need to live up to their potential. The addition of Jariku is an interesting transfer; he’s got good creative instincts and a keen eye for the goal. But will the Gvardeysk area’s lack of interest in football poke a hole in Xenon’s balloon again?

YASTRABI
Colors: Amber and white
City, Country: Dyurtyuli, Kagdazka
Manager: Wladyslaw Bashirskaya (Kagdazka)
Notable Players: -
Finish Last Year: 2nd
Expectations: Lower mid-table
Notes: Seriously, who is in charge of this team? Everything seemed to be going great last season; players like Aznabaev, Narozhylenko, and Akhmetbekov in excellent form. But then the close season rolled around, and Bashirskaya (who’s supposed to be one of the greatest minds in the game) has sold all of the above players and hasn’t replaced them! Nice work, you idiot. Yastrabi have tossed their boundless potential down the toilet.

ZHEVASSI
Colors: Sky blue, orange, and metallic gold
City, Country: Zhevassi, Pazhujebu
Manager: Nemešiabhi Ja (Pazhujebu)
Notable Players: Akhmetbekov, Albornos, Litvinov, Nelsinho, Omelchenko, Petrachkov, Qiva, Sultano, Udachin, Vasilisa, Vuhumkara
Finish Last Year: 10th
Expectations: Title contenders
Notes: Someone recently referred to Zhevassi as the ‘Real Madrid’ of the Federation, but that makes no sense; they must have been from some kind of alternate reality. At any rate, ‘Galacticos’ does seem an apt description for this club. The First Division has never before seen such a conglomeration of talent at one side. Last season’s tenth-place finish is but a distant memory. Nemešiabhi Ja's team surely, surely, surely must be favorites.

It is interesting to note that of the four generally-agreed-upon title contenders (Juvapanam, Therakham, Urajbina, and Zhevassi), all are from Pazhujebu. The era of Kagdaz dominance over the Federation’s football culture seems to be well and truly over, and it isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that no Kagdaz team will make it into the UICA competitions (though if you look at the rosters of the four teams mentioned above, all but one of them have some Kagdaz players).

At any rate, we’ll be watching the Urajbina v. Zhevassi fixtures this season with rapt attention. The two clubs don’t like each other most of time anyway, but now that they’re both right next to each other in the title race, tempers will be even hotter than usual. Tune in, folks, tune in. This is going to be a fun year.

International competition

Alianza Ciruelas started things off by beating the falling stars of Valladares (some things rarely change), while 1860 Flumineiro flamed out against Universidad de Dénprade. I actually don't even know if that was a pun. Ca Condadore got Maxom Academy out of the way before taking down Prince City (blasted monarchists, etc.), while Victory FC did not record one against Ojedo Cerro. Ciruelas were shut down by Avidia United, but San Pablo shut out their Rydell-based counterparts with a convincing 6-0 win and followed it up with a half-as-dramatic victory. Universidad de Dénprade fell to Grêmio Lux by the same embarrassing first leg and a more respectable second leg score, but 2 de abril beat Parakeet FC. And CD Quemavilla beat Isla Pilsen, but that was okay, because in the end they could all enjoy Latin American food together. Yay Pilsen.

CA Condadore lost to more Krytenians, but Ojedo Cerro beat São Perebano and Mapabore Juventud beat the bafflingly-named NT United. Okay, that's not fair, An Blascaod Mór are in this tournament...but still, come on. Unión de Ciudagua came in last in their TQCC group (a crack in the dynasty? Eh? Because let's face it, we're too lazy to tweak the system right now), but the SBCC teams all topped theirs. Not their TQCC groups. On account of them not being in that tournament. Yeah. Ojedo Cerro, despite not quite having 2 de abril's luck against carters, advanced anyway, as did Mapabore Juventud, though Alianza Ciruelas came last in their group.

San Pablo, however, continued contra-cart success, and CD Quemavilla also won; 2 de abril didn't, and both of the others lost in the quarterfinals anyway, San Pablo in more engaging style after a 1-1 draw. Mapabore Juventud met shutout with shutout to advance, but Soldarian FC soldered on past Ojedo Cerro. Mapabore soldered (eh, it's a stretch) past Napoliroma Legion, before losing to Ranca Toco. They'd return back to Ojedo Sango, temporary seats and all, to win the title.

International transactions

The two new members of the first division both looked to Kagdazka for new talent; CD Quemavilla acquired Sergei Aznabaev, and San Pablo went out on a limb to spring for Olga Yakoleva. Their defense was actually quite good last season, so taking the risk of signing a foreigner with a criminal record raised a few eyebrows...but that was the second division, the inevitable new generation of wingbacks will surely be expected by now, and we clearly haven't alienated the Kagdaz authorities too much. Pazhujebi, either.

Meanwhile, two of our players departed for the CCFM: Dión Farfán will join the party at Petardos S/A, while Juan Esteban Oraglio has signed for Atlético Jutense.

Primera División

I would tell you what happened but you wouldn't believe me. Actually you might. Anyway I lost the window, so...puuuuuuuf. Okay. Try again.

The fight for the season came down to the last day, on which THIS ONE TEAM had to win. By a lot. They won. By not incredibly much. Goals from THIS DUDE and SOMEONE YOU'D NEVER HEARD OF. But that was it. OTHER TEAM beat YET ANOTHER TEAM to get third on goal difference, with INEPT GOALKEEPER underwhelming in a five-goal drubbing. PRONOUN at least can look down on whoever's in TAKILANS' net. After matchday fifteen in CITY...they'd better be thankful they were THERE or ELSE. Nine goals? Seriously?

Trust me when I say it could have been a lot different. Well maybe not a lot. But sort of a lot. Stupid league. Let's see if there was any more sanity in store for the second division.

*looks at rank points*

Okay, you know what? Scratch this. Let's go with a ratio I recommended before...kay yeah.

Okay. This is plausible. Predictable, but there were other sims they didn't win!

"Good afternoon, and welcome to this special edition feature on the FPIBC Sport Network! My name is Bob Bjarneson..."

"... And I'm Bob Bjarnesen. Excitement has reached phenomenal levels in Polar Islandstates today, yes, I am of course talking about tomorrow's long awaited launch of the new national football league. Football teams from across the nation have long been playing in small, local leagues and cross-nation friendlies, but for the first time in Polar Islandstates history, these teams will now be able to participate on a national level, with qualification into the exciting world of UICA club championships at their fingertips. I can hardly wait, how about you, Bob?"

"I certainly can't, Bob. Today, we will be taking you on a quick tour of the teams involved in the league, as well as the structure the league will take. But first, some breaking news, Bob?"

"Thank you, Bob. Supporters of Franz Josef Sharks were shocked earlier today as a court ruling forbade them from entering the league structure. The Sharks were all set to be included as a part of the lowest tier until the ruling was passed. The judge in question, Judge Meier, was quoted as saying this:
'The decision was made after reviewing the facilities that Franz Josef Sharks Holdings PLC had been investing in, and after examining evidence of them paying their players exorbitant apperance fees. For a club entering the amateur divisions, the multi-million Sol stadium, seating over 20,000 was labelled as highly suspicious, and the high fees paid to their players labelled as downright ridiculous. The court would also like to make it clear that this had nothing to do with the fact that their absence now means the format of the leagues will run a lot smoother. Nothing at all. Ahem.'
Of course, the Sharks aren't the only team in the country to miss out on entering the league structure altogether, but their position and reputation as one of the oldest and proudest teams in the country, and the fact that they are now the only winners of any pre-FPIFA silverware to not be in the new FPIFA structure will mean this news comes as a shock to many. Bob?"

"Absolutely, Bob. And it would seem that rumours of Mafia connections in the club are just not going to go away quickly. But now onto a description of how the league will work. Bob?"

"Thank you, Bob. The league will consist of two main parts, The Championship League, and the predominantly amateur and semi-pro Challenge League. The Championship League will be made of three divisions of twelve teams each; Første Divisjon Gull, Andre Divisjon Sølv, and Tredje Divisjon Bronse. Each team will play the other eleven in its league both home and away, and at the end of the season the positions will be clear. In the Første Divisjon Gull, the champions will qualify for the UICA TakilQuip Champions Cup, and the second, third and fourth placed teams will qualify for the Globe Cup, with the eleventh and twelfth placed teams being relegated to the Andre Divisjon Sølv. Bob?"

"Thank you, Bob. At the end of the season in the Andre Divisjon Sølv, the champions, second, third and fourth placed teams will qualify for the UICA Chronowire Series B Champions Cup, and the champions and the second placed team they will be promoted to the Første Divisjon Gull. In the Tredje Divisjon Bronse, the champions and the second placed team will gain promotion to the Andre Divisjon Sølv, and the bottom placed team will have to enter the FPIFA Promotion Playoff, more on that shortly. Bob?"

"Thank you, Bob. Below the FPIFA Championship League, we have the FPIFA Challenge League, run in two parallel regional divisions for teams with a mainly amateur or semi-pro player base. The Amatør Divisjonen A and Amatør Divisjonen B are identical in that they both have ten teams, that each play everyone else in their division home and away, leaving a season of eighteen games. The winners of each league will then go forwards to the FPIFA Amatør Cup to determine who is the overall champion of the Challenge League each season. Furthermore, the top two placed teams in both Amatør Divisjonen A and Amatør Divisjonen B go forward to the FPIFA Promotion Playoff, where they will meet the lowest placing team from the Tredje Divisjon Bronse. These five teams will then play a round robin home and away tournament, with the winner of the playoff league earning the right to take part in the Tredje Divisjon Bronse next season. If this winner is the team that came from the Tredje Divisjon Bronse in the first place, then its all as you were. If it was a team from the Challenge League though, then the team from Tredje Divisjon Bronse would be relegated into the Challenge League, and the teams reshuffled to make it more geographically sensible. Phew, Bob?"

"Thanks, Bob. With us so far? Good stuff. The only exception to promotion from the Challenge League is CAF Cape Havensk FC. As you might have guessed from their CAF prefix, their status as the entirely amateur combined armed forces team forbids them from being promoted to a professional league. Should they finish in the top two of their league, their place in the FPIFA Promotion Playoff will pass to the third placed team. However, they are still permitted to take part in the Amatør Cup should they win their league. And that, as they say, is that for the leagues. Only the cup to explain now Bob."

"Yes Bob. At the close of every season, the FPIFA has initiated the Latitude Cup, and all teams in the entire league structure are entitled to enter. All teams from the Challenge League and all teams from the Tredje Divisjon Bronse enter at the first qualifying round, where its two round of straight knockout until only eight teams remain. These eight teams then join the teams from Første Divisjon Gull and Andre Divisjon Sølv, from where its another five rounds of straight knockout of randomly drawn teams until we have a winner. The winner then qualifies for the Cygnus Cup. The FPIFA has worked on the scheduling for this competition carefully, and with only 3 full days between each round, and each round played out in its entirity on the same day, they have truly created a grandstand event. Over to y-"

"And that is that."

"Excuse me, Bob, but I don't believe I'd said your name yet? Bob?"

"Of course not, Bob, many apologies."

"..."

"Oh yeah, sorry. Bob?"

"Thank you, Bob... eventually. So now that you're all up to date with the format, there is precious little else to do, but to introduce you to the teams themselves. A huge thank you must also go out at this point to Sara Poelski, the Minister for Sport and Culture, for ensuring the huge grants of Sols required to build and convert all these teams into fully weather-proof, heated, floodlit, modern football grounds were made possible. Thank you, Sara, from football fans across the nation. So without further ado, over to Bob with the brief rundown on the teams, Bob?"

"Thank you, Bob. Lets start in the obvious place, Første Divisjon Gull...

SK Franz Josef City - Red Star Severny - Jan Mayen Islanders - Resolute Storm 1913 FC - East Franz Athletic - 1. Surtsey Island Gulls - North Star Grímsey - SK Aasiaat Harbour - Yuzhny Equinox FC - RSK Longyearbyen Town - Lokomotiv Barentsberg - Novaya Sibir Reds

"And now a look at the teams making up the inaugural season in the Andre Divisjon Sølv...

AC Aleutia Volcanoes - FC Axel Heiburg - Severnaya Zemlya 88 Equinox - Northbrook Diamonds FK - Melville Celtic - FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla - FC Solovetsky Monastery - Klub Atletisk Spitsbergen - AFK Hans Island Pioneers - Devon Bay Seals FC - Bennett and Zhokhov - Resolute Hills FC

"And last of the professional leagues, Tredje Divisjon Bronse...

SK Stryær - Rapid Jan Mayen FK - McAvery Centurions - 1. RC de Velcosta Cliffs - Northbrook Zenith FC - SK Nasjonale Hauker - North Banks FC - FC Svenskøya - Waldenøya Bears - SK Sturm Rässinger 76 - Grass-Lisch AFC - 1. Lokomotiv Karlstadt

"And now a lightning sweep past the teams in the FPIFA Challenge League, first with Amatør Divisjonen A...

CAF Cape Havensk FC - Surtsey Rovers SK - Energie Møllna-Grei SC - RSK Moorlands - Måriussa Viking FK - Royal NK Sikjonek - Svenskøya SV98 - San Moranna FC - FC North Melville - Devon Bay Lights FC

"And last but not least, the teams of the Amatør Divisjonen B...

Torpedo Sibir RKA - FC1. Sturm Grímsey - Dinamo Clavering SC - Cape Somerville Town - Seratakki Villagers - Ilksporta IK - Franz Josef Young Boys - Staffansson Island FC - SKFJC Supporters Club - Sporting Club Aasiaat

"Which, well Bob, it looks like I've run out of teams to introduce."

"Thanks Bob, you could of course go on to talk about the vast wealth of teams below the tiers of the new FPIFA system, but to do I fear would take hours. Such teams will be considered for inclusion to the Challenge League on a case by case basis, rather than by merit of their financial or perfomance situations alone. So, Bob, your predictions for the season ahead?"

"Well, Bob, whatever happens, I'm sure it's going to be a grat ride. But for me, the FørsteDivisjon Gull title belongs to Franz Josef City, with Novaya Sibir Reds and Longyearbyen Town facing the hartbreak of relegation. As for Andre Divisjon Sølv, I just can't call a winner, though I think two of Aleutia, Axel Heiburg, and Northbrook will go up, with Resolute Hills and Devon Bay Seals sinking. In Tredje Divisjon Bronse, I think Velcosta Cliffs could spring an upset and take the title, with Rapid Jan Mayen taking the second promotion spot, going to go out on a limb and suppose that Grass-Lisch could face the Promotion Playoff.

In that playoff, I'm going to take an only slightly educated guess at Surtsey Rovers and RSK Moorlands taking the places from Divisjonen A, but only after CAF Cape Havensk have to give up their spot, and Torpedo Sibir and Dinamo Clavering taking the spots from Divisjonen B. As for who wins it? I wouldn't like to guess so early in the season. Bob?"

"All fair guesses Bob, we'll have to see how your predictions turn out. For now though, we've run out of time. Join us in eleven weeks time for a halfway summary of the season so far. Exciting times are ahead. Bob?"

"One of us has been Bob Bjarnesen, and the other has been Bob Bjornesen, goodness knows which. So its goonight from Bob..."

"... And its goodnight from Bob. Goodnight."
