Countries have 1 or more leagues with each league having roughly between 8 and 22 clubs each. Due to the different league sizes, some leagues do not have games in every Soccerverse match round.
In leagues with an odd number of clubs, one team will sit out each round.
The top and bottom clubs in a league are promoted/relegated at the end of a season, depending upon the number of clubs in the league. Please refer to the colours in the league tables to see how many clubs get promoted/relegated in a specific league.
A country's bottom league has no relegation and the top league has no promotion. If a country has only 1 league, there is no promotion or relegation.
All teams from a country participate in the national cup. Cups are played in a single leg knockout format with the better teams receiving byes in the earlier rounds.
Continental championships for the best placed teams in their domestic leagues have several groups with 5 or 6 clubs per group depending on how many clubs participate in this competition. The two best teams of each group will advance to the knockout stages. The number of knockout stages depends on the number of clubs participating in the competitions, which is different for the various continents/associations.
There are 4 continental championships:
America Cup
Africa Cup
Asia Cup
Euro Cup
The champions of each country's first division qualify for these competitions. In England, Spain, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Russia the second placed clubs will get a spot in the continental championship for the next season as well. Please note that some countries do not play in the Football Associations continental championship like you are used to in real life - this is due to organisational reasons. Gibraltar plays in the Africa Cup. Russia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Israel, Georgia, Belarus, Armenia and Azerbaijan play in the Asia Cup. To access the respective competitions, click the icons in the yellow bracket to the right in the GAME WORLD screen.
The World Club Cup follows its own schedule, different from leagues, cups and the continental championships, but is played every season. The winners of the 4 continental championships will participate in this competition and crown the champion of the champions in a two round knockout stage featuring the semi-finals followed by the grand final. The World Club Cup takes place during the season. All other leagues and cups have a break during this event. To access the screen for this competition, just click the top icon on the right in the GAME WORLD screen (please refer to the blue arrow in the screenshot above).
