The Starblaydia women's national football team, also known as Starblaydia Ladies or The Cherries consists of the best female football players in Starblaydia and is run by the Starblaydi Football Association. Though Starblaydia's "men's" team is actually open to both men and women, Starblaydia's women are allowed to compete tournaments as a separate entity.
As such, caps won and goals scored for the Women's side do not count in the overall standings for the national team, whereas on occasions where a Starblaydia Men's side are required (such as at the Tyrellian Ylompic Games), caps and goals won in those games do count for overall national team statistics.
The team is nicknamed The Cherries in honour of Cherry Garcia, the first Starblaydi woman to play for the - up until then - men's side. She also played for Jhanna City, the first woman to play for a Liga Starblaydia side. During the Ylompic Games in Tyrellia, over half the new Women's squad said that Garcia, thirty-two at the time, had been their singular inspiration to become professional footballers. During the tournament, the team were often referred to with names such as "Cherry's Team", as she also captained the side too. When their away kit was first débuted, it was deliberately coloured a cherry red with white trim in honour of Garcia and, ultimately, the nickname stuck.
The team mostly comprises players from Liga Ipsilon sides, though it is the real superstars who play in Liga Starblaydia that give the side its potency.
