Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory Note: This page refers to the "Senior" level, which has no age restriction. For other age groups, see Osarius national football team (disambiguation)

The Osarius national football team represents Osarius and the Crown Dependencies of Kyoshiku, Kholanaras and Cobrio at football and is controlled by the Osarian Football Association, the governing body for football in Osarius. The national team first played a World Cup Committee sanctioned international football match in the 36th Baptism of Fire in 2175. Osarius' home ground is Mount Crown Stadium, Burningham, and the current team manager is former international Azarai Robinson.

Osarius contest the World Cup and AOCAF Cup, which alternate annually. An under-25 squad is traditionally sent to compete in the AOCAF Cup, though these matches still count as full international level. Osarius won the 70th World Cup, defeating Felix 2–1 in the final. This feat was repeated in World Cup 71 with a thrilling victory over Pasarga in the final. Osarius also won the 45th AOCAF Cup, defeating a combined team from Vilita & Turori on penalties after a 3-3 draw.

History

Main article: History of the Osarius national football team

The Osarius national football team was originally formed in 2137, at the mid-point of the first professional football season. A representative match between Osarius and Kryosis was played on 10 October 2137, having been organised by the OFA, with Osarius winning 5-4. This match, played at Kriminis Citadel in Kryosis, is viewed as the first Osarian international football match. A return fixture was organised by representatives of Kryosi football teams on 31 May 2138, where the Kryosi were victorious, 3-2. Over the next thirty five years, Osarius played regularly against the other three Rabastorian nations —- Kryosis, Aquillian and Eristicea -— in the Rabastor Trophy, while playing exhibition matches against select XIs made up of players taken from teams across Osarius and Aquillian.

To begin with, Osarius had no permanent home stadium, instead rotating between larger football stadiums and The Benevolence Bowl, in Dynapolis. The OFA proposed that a national football stadium be built, and work got underway on Mount Crown Stadium in 2141. The stadium was opened in 2145 and became the national team's home ground.

In 2170, Osarius' dominance over the other Rabastorian nations had grown stale, and crowds had dwindled. In response, the OFA began taking steps to earn entry into World Cup Committee sanctioned events. After five years, Osarius entered the World Cup for the first time. Prior to the World Cup qualifiers, the team was invited to take part in the Baptism of Fire tournament in Krytenia, in which they progressed to the knockout rounds, losing 3-2 to eventual third placed side Oberour Ar Moro in the quarter finals. Osarius, under former national team captain Benedict di Corradi failed to qualify for the World Cup, and did not manage a successful campaign until some twenty years later, when they qualified for the 59th World Cup.

Their first ever defeat on home soil to a foreign team was also their first home game; a 2–6 loss to the then-number-one-ranked team in the world, and previous World Cup finalists, Candelaria And Marquez. In the 59th World Cup two goals by Romario Roberts against Qazox saw him become the first Osarius player to score two goals in a game at the World Cup finals. It would be fourteen more years before an Osarian player managed a hat-trick at the World Cup finals, when Ezio Grassi netted three against New Montreal States in the second round of World Cup 66.

Team image

Media coverage

All Osarius matches are broadcast with full commentary on Aurum 7, part of the national radio service. Since 2172, all of Osarius' senior matches have been broadcast live on Channel Gold, the flagship channel of the government owned Osarian Public Broadcasting television network. Osarius Sports Network have since acquired rights to broadcast Osarius matches on their channels, and have done so since 2182, airing B-team and under-21 tournament matches as well as full senior contests.

In 2220, after World Cup 72, the OFA announced a restructure of the national football team setup, which established three under age teams and a B-team to go alongside the "Full International" squad. All levels are covered by the agreement with OSN, and are afforded full matchday coverage for all games.

Colours

Osarius' traditional home colours are red shirts, with black and gold featuring in the design, alongside black shorts and red socks. Corradini Sportswear first agreed to manufacture the kit in 2137 and since then has supplied all of the national team's kits at all levels.

The traditional away colours are black shirts, black shorts and gold socks. In 2184, Osarius released a third, alternate kit with gold shirts, black shorts and gold socks. A fourth, commemorative kit was released in 2205, with white shirts, a black trim, and a red flame motif. This kit was paired with black shorts and white socks. Both the third and fourth kits are seldom used, but both proved popular with fans.

The kits for the senior teams (both full international and B-level) are rarely re-designed, though Corradini Sportswear often release updated versions made from different materials, or with alterations made to the association logo as in the case of the national team's championship victories in the early 2200s. Corradini Sportswear do not have an agreement to manufacture kits for the other three national squads, though they wear the same colours.

Home stadium

Main article: Mount Crown Stadium

Originally, Osarius played their home games at various venues across the country, predominantly in the north – most frequently in Firewood and Greeningham – before moving all future games from 2140 onward to King George I Stadium, located on the outskirts of Burningham. This stadium – originally built for the Coronation Games, celebrating the ascension of George II to the throne – would serve as the location for all home Osarius games until its demolition in 2165.

While construction took place on the new national stadium – Mount Crown Stadium – Osarius played their home games at various venues across the country once again. The primary venue was Elishat Stadium, owned and occupied by Burningham City, chosen for its proximity to the site of the old King George I Stadium. The Benevolence Bowl in Dynapolis, or The Cauldron in Firewood were used whenever Elishat Stadium was unavailable.

The new national stadium opened in 2169, and has been used as Osarius' primary home game venue ever since. The only exceptions being when the national team embarks on a friendly exhibition tour – a common tradition since the lead-up to World Cup 69 – wherein up to seven games are played at various venues across the nation. Normally, these games are played one per region, though it is disputed whether they count as full internationals, or B-level internationals.

B-level internationals are seldom played at Mount Crown Stadium, normally taking place at Crown Valley Stadium, which has been part of the Osarian National Football Academy grounds since 2188. This is also the "official" home venue for Osarius' Development level internationals. The Youth and Junior teams play their home games at various venues across the country, and have no "official" home stadium.

World Cup

Main article: Osarius at the World Cup

Osarius first entered the 49th World Cup and have appeared in 9 World Cup finals stages. The national team is one of thirty-nine national teams to have won at least one World Cup title, one of nineteen to have won more than one and one of ten to have won back-to-back World Cups. Osarius was inducted to the World Cup Nation Hall of Fame after World Cup 69.

The Osarius national team won their first title at World Cup 70. The tournament was played in San Jose Guayabal and the Equestrian States, and Osarius defeated Felix 2–1 in the final. They would successfully defend this championship at World Cup 71, held in Felix and Yttribia, defeating Pasarga in the final by a score of 4–3. Prior to winning the competition, Osarius had managed semi final appearances on two other occasions, finishing in third place at World Cup 64, beating Darmen in the third place play-off game 3–2 after being losing their semi final against Audioslavia in extra time. The team managed third place again at World Cup 69, beating Legalese 3–1 after losing 2–1 to Audioslavia (again) in the semi final. They have also reached the quarter finals on two other occasions, at World Cups World Cup 66 and World Cup 68.

Osarius failed to qualify in any of their first ten attempts, from World Cup 49 through to World Cup 58. The team's earliest exit from the finals was its elimination in the group stage at World Cup 59, where they failed to win a single game, losing to Polar Islandstates and only managing to draw with both Erathore and Qazox. Since then, Osarius has failed just once to progress to the second round, at World Cup 72

At World Cup 72, Osarius suffered its most resounding World Cup finals stage defeat (0–3 to Vilita) in the group stage, and exited with their worst finals record, despite entering the tournament as reigning champions.
