Liga Mundo



=Overview= Established January 12, 2008

Liga Mundo is the Cybernations club championship football tournament. Liga Mundo adheres to the principles of tradition, prestige and professionalism an is run independantly by Costa Libertad, but is affiliated with the Transvaal World Cup and the now-defunct UCFA Champions League.

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.

Currently the league has 27 member clubs as it heads into Season 6. Four of those clubs - namely Arcadia FC, Atlético Luz Del Mar, VolNation Volunteers, and Transvaal Springboks - 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.

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 Legado Cup, Gloria de Verano Cup, and Copa Del Mar - which have been competed for over the various seasons. =Seasons=
