Liga Mundo


 * Established January 12, 2008
 * Founder: PremierApex of Costa Libertad

Liga Mundo is the Cybernations association football (soccer) league and it adheres to the principles of tradition, prestige and professionalism. It was originally established as more of a club championship tournament format run independantly by Costa Libertad - but over time has become affiliated with the Transvaal World Cup, the now-defunct UCFA Champions League, and various domestic leagues in the CN-X11 system. By Season 4 the league had established itself as the primary professional soccer league based in Cybernations.

Liga Mundo expanded operations in April of 2008 with the formation of the Serie Primera and the addition of the Serie Segunda in Season 2, and then three months later with the addition of the Serie Tercera in Season 3. Starting with Season 8 in April 2010, the divisions were renamed Primera Liga, Segunda Liga, and Tercera Liga respectively with the all-new Cuarta Liga added.

Currently the league has 24 member clubs as it heads into Season 10. It's largest season was in Season 8 when 36 teams took to the field in a sudden burst of expansion teams joining in the wake of Transvaal World Cup IV of March 2010 but consolidation then followed in the subsequent seasons since then.

Four of the clubs - namely Arcadia FC, Atlético Luz Del Mar, VolNation Volunteers, and Transvaal Springboks known as the Original Four - have participated in each and every season played so far; the first three clubs are popularly referred by all as the Big Three on account of their notable dominance on and off the field since the league started. The Springboks have become competive in the last couple of seasons, winning the league championship in Season 5, but struggled on the pitch for the league's first three seasons. In Season 7 Swamplandia Sinners became the first non-original club to win the league title; they repeated as champions in Season 9 to cement their status as one of the top clubs. With the advent of Swamplandia Sinners' two championships, much less emphasis has been given to the Big Three than in the early seasons of the league.

As Liga Mundo strives for recognition as the professional sports league in the Cyberverse and to crown a most-deserving, and true futbol World Champion, there are an assortment of playoff cups - respectively, the El Legada Copa, Gloria de Verano Cup, Copa Del Mar, El Invierno Clásico - which have been competed for over the course of various seasons.

PremierApex of Costa Libertad (Atlético Luz Del Mar) resigned as commissioner / league admin during Liga Mundo Season 8 on May 5, 2010 and appointed Botha of Transvaal (Transvaal Springboks) as his replacement.
