Democratic Socialist Assembly

The 2022 DSAFF Comrades Cup, also known as 2022 Comrades Cup or simply Lannistter 2022, will be the second of the Comrades Cup, the most important football tournament organized by the football federation of Delusia, the DSAFF (Democratic Socialist Assembly Football Federation) for national teams. It will take place from 15 July to 15 August 2022 in Lannistter.

Twenty-four teams will take part in the tournament, making it the biggest one DSAFF has ever organized along with the 2021 Frost Cup. A total of fifty-two matches will be played around the nation, in eight different locations.

The event was originally scheduled to be hosted by Lannistter and Ardelark. The AFA (Ardelark Football Association), however, withdraw from DSAFF on June 13 2021 after the federation's decision of merging male and women's football teams. Lannistter thus agreed to become the only host country of the competition.

History

In the course of 2021, the first year of the federation's life, DSAFF grew enormously, reaching over thirty football federations. The first edition of the Frost Cup organized in Kazanaty was a great success and saw the participation of 24 teams for the first time. Following the wave of success, DSAFF president Oiktirmon-Nicao Paidarion therefore proposed that the second edition of Comrades Cup would involve 32 teams.

Furthermore, for the first time, access to the competition was no longer regulated solely on invitations but also on a qualification path. The first Comrades Cup qualifiers were held by the COTEFU sub-federation, and saw the victory of Kazanaty and Inglaland. The national team of Gondwana was thus incredibly excluded from the most important competition of DSAFF. Gondwana had won the Frost Cup and at the time of the start of the 2022 Comrades Cup was the COTEFU team with the best position in the MexiCola Ranking.

Fourteen teams out of twenty-four made their debut in a Comrades Cup edition: Antarcticis, Cresr, Fushcor, Hortizo, Inglaland, Kanoshu, Kazanaty, Leouschburgh, Levonen, Mingaly, Osreton, Nordustra, Saralonia and Tertania. Five teams, on the other hand, made their absolute debut in a DSAFF competition: Antarcticis, Cresr, Inglaland, Levonen and Mingaly.

Following the decision to leave the federation, the reigning champions of Ardelark did not participate in the tournament. Therefore it was known from the beginning that a new champion was going to be crowned.

However, on June 13, 2022, after the end of the 2022 Rose Cup, Congress met again to deliberate the removal of gender barriers and the consequent merger of male and female federations. Following the decision, the AFA (Ardelark Football Association) decided to leave DSAFF. Given the imminent start of the tournament and found that the work had already been completed, DSAFF decided to reschedule its ambitions. The tournament would be extended from 32 to 24 teams and Lannistter would be the only host nation.

It was thus decided that all matches would be played in Lannistter, and that the competition would be informally called "Lannistter 2022" and no longer "LanArk 2022".

However, the Congress decided to maintain the contributions made up to that moment by the AFA and by Werka, among the sponsors of the competition and responsible for its logo. On June 14, the official emblem of the competition was thus revealed, different from the one presented by Werka in the bid for co-hosting. This kept within it only references to Lannish colors and culture.

List of participating teams

Twenty-four teams will take part in the tournament. Twenty-two teams qualified directly, answering DSAFF’s call. Inglaland and Kazanaty from the COTEFU sub-federation won the first ever qualification path in DSAFF’s history to take the last two spots available in the tournament.

Format

The second edition of the DSAFF Comrades Cup was the second largest event ever organized by the Delusian federation. Twenty-four teams joined the competition. The teams were divided into four pots according to their position in the MexiCola™ Ranking as of 15 June 2022, with the exception of Lannistter, that was automatically allocated to group A, being the host country. The draw was held on 27 June 2022. Teams were awarded three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.

The winners and runners-up of every group advanced to the second round. In the second round, the 12 remaining teams were divided into 4 groups of 3, with the winners of each advancing to the knockout stage, consisting of the semifinals, and subsequently, the final. There was also a play-off to decide third and fourth place. For each game in the knockout stage, any draw at 90 minutes was followed by thirty minutes of extra time; if scores were still level, there was a penalty shootout to determine who progressed to the next round. Due to the freezing temperatures that are reached in the evening hours, all matches will be played either at 1pm or 5pm.

Ranking criteria
If teams will level on points, they will be ranked on the following criteria in order:

• Most points earned in matches against other teams in the tie

• Greatest goal difference in matches against other teams in the tie

• Greatest number of goals scored in matches against other teams in the tie

• If teams will remain level after those criteria, a mini-group would be formed from those teams, who will be ranked on:

  • Greatest total goal difference in the three group matches

  • Greatest number of goals scored in the three group matches

  If teams will remain level after all these criteria, DSAFF will hold a drawing of lots.

← 2019

The 2022 DSA Summer Olimpia Games, also known as Otrium 2022, will be the fourth edition of the DSA Olimpia Games, the international multi-sports event of Delusia. The event marked the return of the summer games after two years of absence on the planet. The last edition was held in 2019 in Astene, Syvis. It will take place from 8 to 16 August 2022 in Otrium, Osreton.

Otrium was officially elected host city on 16 July 2022. The vote was a head-to-head contest with Arubians' capital city Oranjestad. Otrium was selected by nine votes out of nine.

The 2022 Olimpia Games will be the first Games held in Osreton and on the Iskar continent. The 2022 edition will be the largest ever organized including 15 different sports. New events will be introduced, such as Osreton's national sport Sota-aika, volleyball, water polo and a football tournament for U21 national teams, directly organized by the Democratic Socialist Assembly Football Federation (DSAFF).

History

For hundreds of years, the land that would become Osreton had no formal government. Instead, towns largely governed themselves and stuck to a primitive communism. While the use of floral tuning allowed for an abundance of food and little fighting between towns, the dangerous wildlife of the area did pose a great challenge for everyday life. For centuries Osreton remained mostly unchanged, generally avoiding most of the world except to trade.

In the late 1800s, however, the area faced colonization from multiple corporations, mainly from a dying nation called Kesmon. Multiple company towns were successfully set up, only for the workers to be killed by the violent wildlife. Eventually the workers were able to overthrow the company leaders and came together with the native population to form Osreton on September 14th, 1897.

The fledgling nation was built on two main ideas; nature should be respected and that there should be a cooperation between the citizens. There is no head of state or official government, instead being made up of multiple unions that provide what they can. The nation prides itself on being has eco-friendly as possible, with modern technology being put on the back burner in favor of this.

Development and preparation

Tastan Island is a small island located in the Väs River, the large river that runs through the heart of Otrium. In 1979 the island was transformed into a large scale sports park, built to house the multiple sports leagues in the capital city. Multiple venues were built along with an extremely efficient transit system. While some updates have been made throughout the years, the island has always done it's intended purpose of hosting large sporting events. The island even hosted the 2021 Spooky Olympics for the first time.

The Osreton National Sports Committee (ONSC) has tirelessly worked with other unions to make the games happen. The Public Transport Committee (PTC) has made adjustments to handle the influx of athletes and spectators alike. The Housing Commission (HC) has secured multiple ruusats, apartment buildings used in place of hotels. Preparations have also been made with the Farming Association, Power and Water Commission, and Tourism Board to provide food, water, and electricity to athletes and spectators free of charge.
