History
Football was introduced to the country by visiting Europans in the 20th century. Both traditional sports, such as sailing, and Occidental imports like association football, are popular with both participants and spectators. The Orinese Premier League is Orioni's largest professional sports competition in terms of television ratings and spectators. The Royal Orinese Football Association (ROFA), is the governing body of Orinese football. The ROFA organises the men's, women's, and futsal national teams. Football was introduced to Orioni during the Nabérrie period, along with many other foreign sports. The first Orinese football club is considered to be Zuidhaven Tigers, founded in 1917. In the 1920s, football associations were organised, and regional tournaments began in universities and high schools, especially in O'polis. The Orioni national football team is nicknamed the Orioni Orcas. In the 1930s, the Orioni national football team was organised and drew 3-3 with Tamurin to win their first title at the Oriental Europan Championship Games. The Orioni national team also competed in the Alaghon 1936 Olympic Games, the team had their first victory in an Olympic game with a 3-2 win over powerful Suverina. Many supporters of the Orioni Orcas are still bitter their side was knocked out of the 2018 UENA World Cup so soon.[1]
Competition
There are 14 clubs in the Premier League. During the course of a season (from November to May) each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for a total of 30 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. The bottom four placed teams are relegated into the Orinese First Division (second tier of Orinese football) and the top four teams from the First Division are promoted in their place.
