The COCANEFA LigAnaia is the oldest and most well-known COCANEFA competition, although it has changed noticeably since inception, splitting into two regional leagues; the LigAnaia North and the LigAnaia East. In addition to LigAnaia, COCANEFA also organises the Repechage 49 (most commonly referred to as R49), which acts as a second division for both LigAnaia top flight divisions, as well as the COCANEFA Liga Calania and Cosumarite league system. The COCANEFA Cup (previously known as the CopAnaia) is a knockout cup competition open to any and all teams from within the confederation's member nations.

LigAnaia history

As the LigAnaia has changed in size throughout its existence, the structure of the league pyramid has also changed. From an original configuration of one league of sixteen teams from two nations, to a multi-divisional top flight spanning six nations, these changes have necessitated alterations to the competition format over time. These changes have most notably impacted LigAnaia, the confederation's top flight.

One league format

Between seasons one and eight, the LigAnaia (or LigAnaia One) was the single, highest tier of COCANEFA football.

Season Divisions Teams (top flight) Teams (total) Champions Runners Up Third
1 1 16 16 Audioslavia AC Izotz Zubia The Inevitable Syndicate Burgess FC The Inevitable Syndicate Nostromo Meteorites
2 1 16 16 Audioslavia 1830 Cathair The Inevitable Syndicate Fligsive FC The Inevitable Syndicate Burgess FC
3 2 20 40 The Calanian Union Fligsive FC Audioslavia 1830 Cathair The Calanian Union Westonbirt City
4 2 24 48 Audioslavia 1830 Cathair The Calanian Union Fligsive FC Legalese Comunas Cougars
5 4 22 90 Audioslavia AC Izotz Zubia The Calanian Union Fligsive FC The Calanian Union Magnaeus City[1]
6 4 22 90 Audioslavia 1830 Cathair Audioslavia AC Izotz Zubia Osarius Hastmead Diamante
7 4 22 90 Osarius Hastmead Diamante Starblaydia Iskara Daii Audioslavia 1830 Cathair
8 4 22 90 Audioslavia 1830 Cathair The Calanian Union Magnaeus City Legalese Comunas Cougars

Multiple region format

After five seasons running one top tier and multiple regional tiers below, the LigAnaia pyramid was inverted at the start of season nine. One larger second division now feeds into two top tiers; one in the north and one in the east. The Liga Calania (also referred to as the Liga CalAnaia) was restarted in season eleven, and is contested between Krytenian and Starblaydi clubs.

Under the multiple region format, the champions of the Eastern and Northern leagues play one another on neutral territory in a Grand Final matchup to decide the COCANEFA League Championship.

Season Leagues Teams (top flights) Teams (total) COCANEFA Champions LigAnaia East Champions LigAnaia North Champions
9 3 40 89 Osarius Hastmead Diamante Osarius Hastmead Diamante Quebec Montreal Koreana
10 3 40 89 Osarius Hastmead Diamante Osarius Hastmead Diamante Krytenia Ousevale Borough
11 3 40 89 Audioslavia 1830 Cathair Audioslavia 1830 Cathair Semarland FC Jansberg

Honours

Before the split into multiple regions, the winners of the LigAnaia was considered COCANEFA Champion. Since the split, COCANEFA awards the LigAnaia Championship trophy to the team that wins the Grand Final matchup. The Liga Calania is deemed separate from the LigAnaia pyramid, which is why no Krytenian or Starblaydi teams play in the R49.

The following clubs have won the LigAnaia:

Team Number of titles Seasons
Audioslavia 1830 Cathair 5 2, 4, 6, 8, 11
Osarius Hastmead Diamante 3 7, 9, 10
Audioslavia AC Izotz Zubia 2 1, 5
Mertagne Fligsive FC 1 3

National Champions

See also: List of COCANEFA national champions

Each season, the highest finishing team of each nation is given the title 'national champion', along with a trophy. This is also relevant when submitting COCANEFA entries to UICA competition, as national champions take a different path in the UICA Champions Cup to other entrants. Upon winning the league, the LigAnaia champions will ordinarily be presented with their national championship trophy prior to being presented with the LigAnaia Championship trophy.

The reigning national champions – as of the completion of season eleven – can be seen below:

Mertian champion Mertagne Blades ex Magnaeus
Audioslavian champion Audioslavia 1830 Cathair
Starblaydi champion Starblaydia Telecontare
Legalite champion Legalese Comunas Cougars
Osarian champion Osarius Hastmead Diamante
Krytenian champion Krytenia Ousevale Borough
Quebecois champion Quebec Montreal Koreana
Semar champion Semarland FC Jansberg

COCANEFA Cup winners

The COCANEFA Cup (previously known as the CopAnaia) is a knockout tournament open to all clubs, professional and amateur, from COCANEFA's constituent nations. The cup was first contested in seasons three and four, but was then scrapped in favour of national cup tournaments for each nation. The cup was reinstated in season eight, and national cups scrapped. As of season twelve, 367 teams enter the COCANEFA Cup across all nine nations of the confederation.

Season Winner
3 Audioslavia Oljestaden IF
4 Legalese Tyrellia Titans
8 Legalese Comunas Cougars
9 Krytenia Avidia United
10 Audioslavia 1830 Cathair
11 Mertagne Blades ex Magnaeus

National Cup winners

Between seasons four and six, COCANEFA ran separate national cup competitions for each member nation. These cups were later scrapped and the COCANEFA Cup reinstated.

The winners of each nation's national cup are listed below:

Cup Name Season 4 Season 5 Season 6
The Inevitable Syndicate Syndicatian Cup Burgess FC Burgess FC Westonbirt City
Audioslavia Audioslavian Cup AC Izotz Zubia KT Itzalovalle AC Izotz Zubia
Starblaydia Copa Starblaydia Corinthian Spirits Iskara Daii Iskara Daii

Osarius Osarian Cup N/A Hastmead Diamante Shanak FC
Ibex Ibex Cup N/A Tall Batal
Perlasilangan Perlasilanganese Cup N/A UD Lopez Atletico Gonzales

International honours

Iskara Daii are former winners of the NS Champions League (the precursor to the UICA Champions' Cup), while Krytenia's Royal Emberton and Osarian club Firewood City are former UICA Champions Cup winners. Grasshoppers Turic, Avidia United and Casuals Osteria are all former Globe Cup winners, and Osarian club Kyoshiku Island FC have won the UICA Series B Champions Cup. In addition, Firewood City have lifted the Cygnus Cup. However, none of these triumphs came while the teams competed under the COCANEFA banner.

Below is a list of COCANEFA teams who have won international competitions:

Club UICA honours Other international honours
Mertagne FC Southern Ninestar[2] SBCC (season 57)
Audioslavia 1830 Cathair Champions Cup (season 59)
Super Cup (season 59)
Audioslavia Tenth Star Hasiera SBCC (season 59)
Mertagne Blades ex Magnaeus AOCL (seasons 59, 60)
Mertagne Fligsive FC AOCL (season 61)

In addition to trophies won, two COCANEFA nations have been rated as the best club side in the multiverse according to UICA coefficients. 1830 Cathair ranked number one after season 59, and Blades ex Magnaeus after season 60.
