Dave. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 OFL (Oceania Football League) - A Sign-Up Only one of the 31 Oceanic nations or dependancies, Vanuatu, lists Association Football as its national sport. For this reason, the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) have decided that an Oceanic football league would be a good way of promoting the sport in the world's smallest continent. As well as the 12 FIFA-registered Oceania nations (shown in the list below), Oceanic countries Australia, Indonesia, Guam and Northern Mariana, all of whom are registered with the Asian Football Confederation, will each field a team in the league. This gives a total of 16 sides, and FIFA's idea is to create a league of 12 teams, where at the end of each season, 2 teams are relegated and replaced by 2 of the 4 teams who didn't begin with a place in the league. The nations entering a team into the league are as follows: [b]OFL[/b] American Samoa - TAKEN Australia - TAKEN Fiji - TAKEN Indonesia - TAKEN New Calidonia - TAKEN New Zealand - TAKEN Northern Mariana - TAKEN Soloman Islands - TAKEN Tahiti - TAKEN Tonga - TAKEN Vanuatu - TAKEN Wallis & Fortuna - TAKEN [b]OD1[/b] Cook Islands - TAKEN Guam - TAKEN Papua New Guinea - TAKEN Samoa - TAKEN FIFA and the OFC are now looking for sixteen wealthy people to each fund a team in the league. They do not have to be of the same nationality as their nation, or even Oceanic at all, but must be prepared to come up with sufficient funds to start up and keep running their football club. To ensure each team begins with as fair as possible a chance of success, there are certain stipulations that the new chairmen must follow. The stadium of each club will be a 30000-all-seater, designed by the same architect, and therefore identical. Only the furnishings, colours and name may be chosen by the chairmen. They must also decide the city or town of their nation in which the stadium is housed. FIFA would like the clubs to have a big role in developing youngsters and preparing them for international football. They believe that the Oceanic nations will benefit from having more talented players coming through, and may perhaps begin to assert themselves as more challenging opposition to the more established footballing nations. To this end, the chairmen must agree to build top quality youth and training facilites, as well as an academy to help develop the youngsters' football skills. £25million must be invested into the club's bank balance from the chairmens' personal fortunes. This is regardless of the costs of facilites and infrastructure, so it is recommended by FIFA that only the super-wealthy and football-supporting businesspeople take part in this ambitious project. Any settlement in the country chosen by each of the wealthy people may become the home of the new football club. The chairmen must also select a name for their club, and it is requested by FIFA that the names are realistic and sensible. FIFA has instructed the chairmen to select a manager of their choice from anywhere in the world to take control of their club. This does of course require that the manager chooses to leave their current job if they have one in order to join the Oceania Football League. The sixteen prospective chairmen are asked to fill out this form below if they wish to take part in the project. Chairman Name: DOB: Nationality: Chosen Nation: Club Name: Nickname (Optional): City/Town Based In: Stadium Name: Kit Colours/Style: Chosen Manager: [u]Chairman Stats[/u] Business: Interference: Patience: Resources: (Chairmen have 50 points to spend across these four attributes. In terms of person data, loyalty will be set to 20, and the rest will be random.) FIFA would like to thank all of the applicants for their time.

Dave. Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have edited everything into the database so far. The 12 of you who have submitted teams will be taking part in the OFL for the first season. The final four who sign up will have to hope their team is promoted first, although they still have the possibility of taking part in cup competitions.

Dave. Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 SEASON 2008/09 OCEANIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE It was Fiji's Suva Levu who took the honours in the maiden season of the OFL, mounting a late charge to finish ahead of American Samoa's Pago Warriors, who had led most of the season, and Mana FC of New Zealand, one of the favourites to win the title. It was a very close call, with the top three all finishing on the same points tally, and only goal difference separating them. At the other end of the table, a long struggle of a season ended up successfully for Asuncion FC of the Northern Mariana Islands, who managed to mount a late surge and stay up after a poor season. Not so lucky were Ikale Tahi and Club Batam of Tonga and Indonesia respectively, who got relegated. The teams replacing them in the top flight next season will be Papua New Guinea's Team Kokoda and Hagåtña F.C., of Guam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
