The National League, also referred to as the Audioslavian National League, is the highest level of domestic football in Audioslavia. It was founded after the dissolution of the COCANEFA LigAnaia

Format[edit]

Thirteen teams contest the National League title every season, with each team playing one another home and away over twenty-eight matchdays. As each team only plays twenty-four games per season, not every team plays every week. It is customary for every team to have two month-long ‘breaks’ throughout the season.

At the end of each season, the team with the most points are crowned champions, and qualification for the Champions League and Challengers Cup depends entirely on league position.

At the bottom, the two teams with the least points are relegated to the National Two, being replaced automatically by the teams finishing first and second.

Formation[edit]

The National League was formed after the dissolution of the LigAnaia. a multiassociational league system comprised of teams from Audioslavia, Mertagne, Legalese, Starblaydia, Osarius, Krytenia, Semarland. Schiavonia and Royal Kingdom of Quebec, and formerly Western Sunrise Islands, Ibex and Perlasilangan. Initially, only the ten highest-finishing sides from the LigAnaia were entered into the National League, but the system was changed in UICA season seventy-two with the league expanding to fifteen, a structure which lasted until season 18.
