Voobaha National

Voobaha National is the national football (soccer) team of the Kingdom of Voobaha. The former FC Tillery club team was renamed, and plays as the Kindgom's club team in Liga Mundo, as well as representing the nation in intenational competition. They are the only team in Liga Mundo history to post an unbeaten season, with 12 wins and two draws in the league's 14 round fifth season.

=History= Joining Liga Mundo prior to the league's 3rd Season, Voobaha National made an impressive appearance, finishing 4th in the 8 team Second Division or Serie Segunda.

The team's second season was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, starting with losses in five of it's first six games. VooNat rebounded with a strong second half, nearly sweeping the second half of the season, with only a final game road loss to Spartak MK.

Their unbeaten performance in Liga Mundo Season 5, paid off as Voobaha National secured the Segunda title and promotion to Serie Primera on 19 May 2009.

But the Nationals success was short lived, as their appearance in Serie Primera during season six was a disaster, never rising above 5th place and ending the season in 8th (of 9 teams), and in the relegation zone.
