This page contains information on the current football team of the People’s Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia.

Like several other organisations in Ariddia, it is known as "les Rouge-et-Noirs", in reference to its colours, which are also the national colours.

Note This page refers only to the "new" Ariddian team, not to the teams that played for Ariddia from World Cup 1 to World Cup 11, at which point the PDSRA withdrew from international football. All statistics concern only this "new" team.

In the 32nd edition of the Cup, Ariddia won the competition for the first time ever, 124 years after having founded it. The PDSRA then co-hosted World Cup 34 with the Holy Empire, and won for the second time. The Rouge-et-Noirs finished second in World Cup 35, narrowly failing to defend their title.

Squad

Squad

The following will represent Ariddia in World Cup 36:

GK: Cassie Lee (11)
DEF: Myo Thet Myint (cpt, 3); Asul E’i (19); François Riverain (23)
MID: Richard James (21); Sa Ley (5); Raphaëlle du Valdor (13); Ewa Shwuo (7)
ATT: Lucas Arbustier (9); Thomas Dargeau (16) ; Iol Et (12)

Substitutes:
GK: Tu Wesh (1); Armel Moboka (2) DEF Lucia Nelson (15); Mary E’it (22); Jeremy Isaacs (8)
MID: Jacques Clocher (14) ; Ann Cove (10) ; Heather Rodriguez (17)
ATT: Wol Asu (4); Sylvain Bernard (18); Elmi Hamzah Guirreh (6); Jamilah Shahrour (20)

Formation

Half-way through the qualifying stages of World Cup 25, facing a dismal 0-1-8 record and having scored only one goal in nine matches, Ariddia switched from a balanced style to one of all-out attack – and from a 5-3-2 formation to 3-4-3. This formation has been maintained ever since.

Stadia in Ariddia

Stadia in Ariddia, a relatively underdeveloped country, may well be suitable for casual and domestic games, but with the nation opening up anew to the international football stage, it was felt necessary to redo a few stadia for home matches against foreign teams.

Until recently, five stadia were used for welcoming foreign national teams: Stade National Rêvane-Sud, Wavecrest City Stadium, Haven-Port-Nouveau Stadium, Darras Olympic Stadium (in the vicinity of Rêvane), and the Arctic National Stadium. Wavecrest City Stadium was the first to host an international match, shortly before the beginning of World Cup 25: a friendly against Alasdair I Frosticus. The Arctic National Stadium was redone to current standards after World Cup 25, and was used in World Cup 26; it is located in the Ariddian Arctic Islands, and has seen only a handful of matches.

Subsequent to World Cup 30, it was decided that ubhashinim Ahwa'u Stadium would henceforth be the country's sixth international stadium.

All six stadia will be used for the hosting of World Cup 34.

The ulek

The ulek is an ancient Wymgani war chant performed by the team's players at the beginning of every match. For more information, see the article on the ulek.
