Liga Mundo


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

Liga Mundo is the Cybernations club championship football tournament. Liga Mundo adheres to the principles of tradition, prestige and professionalism and 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. 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 36 member clubs as it heads into Season 8. Four of those 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 championship.

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.
