Nanteon Football League

The Nanteon Football league is the highest level of profession Football in the Kingdom of Nanteos. The NFL consists of 8 Nanteon teams. Its most recent champion is the Acornia Freedom.

Pre-League
In King George I reign the city of Friendship challenged the city of Nanteos to a football game. The two teams met in the nuetral ground of Acornia to play the game. The game ended in a 6-6 tie, but it gave the Kingdom of Nanteos a taste for football that would not be outdone.

The League Forms
In the reign of King William III, teams from Friendship, Acornia, Nanteos, and Starfell formed the Nanteon Football League. Through the course of time teams in Noirville, Soutbeach, Jack's City, and Jasper would be formed. These make up the current teams in the league.

Merge with the SFA
King William III suggested a merger with the Sillian Football Association to show the untiy between the two countries. Shortly after, the NFL and SFA merged to form the Dirion Football League.

DFL and departure
In the Dirion Football League, Nanteon teams would capture exactly 50% of the championships played against their Sillian counterparts. After the death of Carter Simms, Chancellor James Lanttern suggested the eight Nanteon teams leave the DFL, because of the tension with Silla. The eight Nanteon teams would leave the DFL and re-form the Nanteon Football League. The first NFL champion would be the Nanteos Knights and the current and fourth champion is the Acornia Freedom.
