To enter the Top Twelve for the 10th edition (rewarded as last season with 12 M to the winner, 5 M to the finalist, 3 M to the qualifiers and 1 M per match won in the final phase)
1°) You must not have played or scheduled more than 4 matches by 16 August, as the publication date for the final 1st phase rankings is 17 August.
2°) You must not be taking part in a competition taking place at the same time (such as the CAN, for example) where the participants have non-random matches, set by their organiser.

Reminder: Under penalty of losing a match on the green carpet (not to mention any sanctions decided by the admins), you must comply with the general rules applicable to the federations' regulations.
In particular, these rules include not taking advantage of an injured or suspended player selected to make a 6th change during the match.

Belize selection

Rules and regulations : Read and approved

There is no pre-registration for the 1st phase. Only the 12 qualifiers from the Top Twelve will be asked to post their approval of the rules. The 1st round is free (which doesn't mean you can't respect the rules!).

Following the match Tanzania Belarus the match is declared lost for Tanzania on the green carpet for a triple reason:

1. Selection of 6 RTG

2. Selection of two players from the same club

I'm not the president of Belarus 😄 it was just to know everything as it is not specified

2nd match of Tanzania with a composition contrary to the VF regulations of the Federations
#match?mid=6369950
And so 2nd match lost on the green carpet
Well, I've got the impression that Tanzania are out of the competition anyway, since they're now taking part in the African Cup of Nations, which is incompatible with the League of Federations.

One suggestion.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if, when a manager applies for a federation election, there was a box to tick stating that the candidate had read the rules and agreed to abide by them ... the VF rules, not the League of Federations rules 🙂.
Because it's a bit easy to tell an admin that you didn't know ... because to select two players from the same club, you have to use a loophole (known by assumption known by those who use it!).

No, all it takes is for a selected player to be transferred. It can happen to any coach who doesn't systematically check all his players 5 minutes before validating his selection. So in fact it can happen to absolutely anyone.

Yes, it can happen in the case you mentioned (and the same goes for more than 5 players per agreement), but in 99% of cases it happens differently 🙂 Look at the number of days the clubs belong to and you'll see that it's done differently.
Look at the number of days the clubs concerned have been members and you'll see that it happens differently (don't act ignorant, you know enough about the game to know how it's done). It's already happened that a federation has fielded 5 players from the same club, including 2 in training, so you can be sure that this doesn't really correspond to your example, which once again is very marginal.

Then you have to distinguish between the competition rules and the VF rules.
If the case you mention happens in the competition, the match will be lost on the green carpet, but I think that the VF admin who receives the case you mention will be understanding if the coach is acting in good faith and will ask him to regularise the situation without imposing a penalty of his own on VF.

Hi, are we allowed to play the same federation twice?

Given that the proposals do not allow you to know your opponent in advance, this does not pose a problem... but if it is found to be an 'arrangement' between the two federations, the administrative team will be able to issue a warning and impose sanctions in the event of a repeat offence.

A quick update on the provisional standings.
With 8 days to go before the end of the first phase, the current standings (taking into account matches lost on penalties) are as follows
There are many familiar faces from previous finals, as well as newcomers such as Luxembourg, Tuvalu and Latvia.

The 1st phase of the League came to an end with last night's matches.

For the 16 federations concerned, you must accept the rules for the second phase before 8pm on Tuesday evening.
Depending on the eventual refusal of certain federations, the final ranking of the 1st phase, which will be used to draw up the table for the second phase, will be published on Tuesday evening.

As a reminder: the top 4 qualify directly for the quarter-finals, the federations ranked 5 to 12 play a 1/8 final play-off and the federations ranked 13 to 16 above are on the waiting list and will qualify if a federation ranked 1 to 12 refuses to take part.

For the 2nd phase, Belarus, rules read and accepted

Rules read and accepted for the second phase Iran 🇮🇷

Iceland, rules read and accepted.

Luxembourg, read and accepted.

Rules read, read and accepted for France!

I hadn't realised that Australia was "out of the running" because of its participation in the CP Cup.
As a result, the first-phase standings have been changed as follows: All the teams move up one place and Sweden, who were 17th, become 16th and are potentially eligible to qualify.

Regulations read and approved for Latvia....finally, if I've read the right Regulations :-).
We're talking about the regulations in the VF regulations, aren't we?

I am only qualifying for the 2nd time for this competition and my aim is to do better than the 8th final.
Rules read and approved

Yes, the general VF rules on federations (no players in training, no multiple players belonging to the same club, but also the specific rules of the competition which are superimposed: submission of a list of 22 players etc....).

If I understand correctly, Saudi Arabia automatically qualify by finishing 12th.

Ragen: Si je comprends bien l'Arabie saoudite est d'office qualifié en allant à la 12 e place

Rhorrr you're not still on the bottle?

Move with it 😂

Rules read and accepted for Slovakia

Having finished first and therefore qualified for the quarter-finals, can I organise a friendly while we wait for the rest of the competition?

Read and approved for Tuvalu. I would go with less players than the max allowed I think 🤣

Rules read and approved by Finland. 🇫🇮

In view of the rules accepted, the second phase will take place between the following 12 federations:

Final table
1/8 final
No. 5 v No. 12 = Iceland v Tuvalu
No.6 v No.11 = Iran v France
No. 7 v No. 10 = Luxembourg v Saudi Arabia
No. 8 v. No. 9 = England v. New Zealand

1/4 final
Slovakia v. winner England v New Zealand
Brazil v. winner Iceland v. Tuvalu
Finland v Iran-France
Belarus vs. Winner Luxembourg v. Saudi Arabia

Reminder:
To take part, the 12 coaches must post their list of 22 players on the forum no later than 12 noon on Saturday 23 August, failing which they will be disqualified (NB the list may include fewer than 22 players).
This list must include the names of the players (and possibly their links, but this is not compulsory), the club and the association to which they belong.

The list must remain unchanged throughout the rest of the competition: it is not possible to replace a player who is injured, refuses a selection or changes club, thereby rendering his selection invalid (it is the coach's responsibility to ensure before each match that his selection is valid).
For this reason, it is recommended (but not compulsory) to select 2 goalkeepers.

For those who are not used to going to the finals, it is necessary to validate your selection manually by calling up the players, as the matches are created manually by Blagoje Vidinic and the players do not arrive automatically as they do for the matches in the first phase.
If you do not call up your players, you will forfeit the match and lose on the green carpet.
Any infringement of the rules for the 2nd phase will result in a match being forfeited on the green carpet and in the forfeiture of the financial prizes for the 2nd phase.

The financial prizes are the same as for the previous edition: 12 M for the winner, 5 M for the finalist, 3 M for the Top Twelve qualifiers and 1 M per match won in the final phase.
The prize money will be paid out at the end of the season.
The 4 teams that qualify for the quarter-finals can play a friendly match, provided it is played no later than 26 August.

Hello, here's the list for Iceland.

This is the last international competition for a number of players who are in decline. We'll gradually have to say goodbye to the "99" generation. :)

Here is Saudi Arabia's shortlist

No agreement is of course unlimited. The rule of a maximum of 5 had been introduced by the admins to avoid certain deviances at the beginning of the federations where selectors took 10 or 15 players from their agreement to "please their mates", so there was no limit on "no agreement".

myforsans: Les sans entente c'est bien entendu illimité. La regle du maximum de 5 avait ete introduite par les admins pour eviter certaines deviances au debut des federations où des selectionneurs prenaient 10 ou 15 joueurs de leur entente pour "faire plaisir aux copains", donc pas de limite de "sans entente".

Thank you for your reply
