re: ~ NeoLand 2013 ~ Update Two ~ " The Rivals " ~
Update Three ~ " Final Meeting "
........................................
I would like to thank all team representatives for attending our Final NeoLand FA meeting before the season begins.
We have received news that Wales have dropped out of all International competitions and that NeoLand have been given the chance to fill the gap that has been created. We will become the newest European nation and battle it out in a bid to qualify for the World Cup and European Championship competitions. We will obviously begin at the bottom of the World Rankings but we will be taking over from Wales immediately. NeoLand will play there home Internationals at The NeoLand Arena which has a large capacity of 80,000.
We are very excited about the opportunity of putting NeoLand on the footballing map and most excited about giving the new young footballers in NeoLand the chance to play at an international level straight away. Whether it be in the main squad, under 21's or under 19's.
We are sure that the chance to play football so soon at such a high level will be a fantastic incentive for the players and we should be seeing a high standard of football within NeoLand because of this.
The new footballers names and positions have been provided and registered for the new season so now is the time for me to wish you, your teams and your players the best of luck during the 2012/2013 season and beyond. Information will be sent out shortly to give the new teams time to prepare.

Update Four ~ " Competition Information "
........................................
NEOLAND SUPER LEAGUE
Spoiler:Overview and Rules
NeoLand Super League Basic Review
As you can see the NeoLand Super League is starting right at the bottom reputation wise. The only European Competitions below the Super League and the NL Cup is the Slovakian Super Cup. The first round of matches are on the 6th of October and the final matches on the 4th of May. This is because the NL Cup starts and finishes before the Super League starts. There will be 22 games during the normal league campaign ( teams play each other twice ) and then the top 6 teams in the league qualify for the Champions Playoff. The Champions Playoff is set up as follows. The teams that finish 1st and 2nd in the normal league campaign go straight to the semi final. Teams that finish in 3rd to 6th start in the quarter finals. This basically gives an advantage to the 1st and 2nd placed teams. Two or Three teams from NeoLand will qualify for a European competition based on where they finish in the league and their disciplinary record. Hope this makes sense? If not let me know and if you have any questions please fire away.
NL CUP
Spoiler:Overview & Rules
NL Cup Basic Review
Just think of the NL Cup as NeoLand's version of the Champions League. The principle is exactly the same with 32 teams in 8 groups with only 2 qualifying from each group. The 16 teams that qualify then go head to head in a knockout cup competition until there is only 1 team left. The Cup begins on the 4th of July and ends on the 29th of September. Hope this makes sense? If not let me know and if you have any questions please fire away.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS
The NeoLand Football Association have named GeraintWilliams as the new National Manager. Geraint Williams straight away announced the appointment of George Benson as the new NeoLand Captain and Carlos Dragon Fuego as Vice-Captain
quote NeoLand Press
You are the first ever NeoLand manager, how do you feel?
I'm delighted to be given the chance to be the first ever manager of the NeoLand National Side. I was involved with the Wales set up at under 21 level so really pleased to have made the step up to be the main boss.
quote NeoLand Press
What are your aims and goals with NeoLand?
We are bottom of the World Rankings and the NeoLand Super League and NL Cups sit near the bottom of the league and cup reputation so it really is a case of starting from scratch. I have some great young talent at my disposal so I know we can make NeoLand a success. I'm really looking forward to the challenge. We know that the early results may not be great but we will gradually improve
quote NeoLand Press
You decided to name your Captain and Vice Captain rather quickly. Can I ask why?
It was a tough decision so please don't let the speed of my decision make you think otherwise. I have a really good feeling about George and Carlos and I'm sure they will do the nation proud. To be honest I could have named over 100 captains because all the lads would do the role proud if called upon.
quote NeoLand Press
Who do you think will do well in the NeoLand Super League and NL Cup this season?
haha, behave. I can't answer that I'm afraid but I hope both competitions are good and contested in the right manner. There are a lot of young footballers who need bringing into the really world and convincing that football at International level won't be easy. I hope they'll be ready.
Oh, I would also like to announce that Colin Caton has been named as the new NeoLand Under 19's manager and Carl Darlington has been named as the new NeoLand Under 21's manager. Thank you
