Nordreich Liga

Nordreich Liga is an association football domestic league for members of Nordreich (2009). It was established by Botha on September 26, 2009 and the inaugural season consisted of eight clubs.

The first league season kicked off on October 7, 2009. Herman Ólafsson of Nordenstorm United scored the first-ever league goal that day when Sven-Östein Haraldsson set him up for a shot in the penalty area against NVK Kaapstad Hornets goalkeeper Oskar Dietze just 1 minute after the opening kick-off.

=Formation of the Liga= The Nordreich Liga originated on September 21, 2009 after Botha departed from IRON and re-aligned with Nordland when he joined the reformed Nordreich (2009). There had been an earlier attempt by Baron Zemo to set up a national-based Nordreich Football League but it failed to get activated. Botha decided to try again in a club-based format - and during the week that followed, seven managers along with Botha signed up for the brand-new league:


 * NVK Kaapstad Hornets (Botha)
 * Italia (Junio Borghese)
 * The Scimitars (Homer)
 * Noordrijk FC (Nemhauser)
 * Northern Reich (st6mm)
 * Nordenstrom United (Baron Zemo)

With the addition of The Scimitars on September 26, 2009, the league had the minimum six teams required and the Nordreich Liga officially became active.


 * Scottoria FC (Norwood)
 * Nordland (Kaiser Martens)
