CN National Soccer League

The CN National Soccer League was established on December X, 2015 as a renamed replacement for the Nordreich Liga which had operated for 22 seasons from September 2009 until December 2015.

After the resignation and departure of Botha, the ruler of Transvaal, from the Nordreich Alliance on October 4, 2015, the commissioner announced that the Nordreich Liga would have a name change after the conclusion of Season XXII and become the CN National Soccer League (CN-NSL).

While the CN National Soccer League continues the continuity heritage of the Nordreich Liga in regards to league standings and championships, a new league format was inaugurated to also give the CN-NSL some distance from its Nordreich roots at the same time. Previously, Roman numerals were used to indicate the season number in the Nordreich Liga - starting with Season 23, the debut of the CN-NSL, regular numerals were used.

The same eight teams which had competed in the final season of the Nordreich Liga made the transition to the CN-NSL for Season 23.
