Four players (Chantier, Granville, Teh, al Safi) were called upon from the [[Ariddian_women%27s_football_team|national female team]], and now compete in both. Between World Cups [[World Cup 29|29]] and [[World Cup 30|30]], the number of women dropped from ten to seven, but six of those remained among the starting eleven. The team also includes 5 [[Wymgani|Indigenous Ariddians]] (including Sébastien Lescrit), of whom one is a woman (Uha Teh). |

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. | 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. | |

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.

Squad
Squad
The following will be the squad representing Ariddia in World Cup 31:
GK: Cécile Granville (11)
DEF: Thérèse Chantier (4); Julien Prévert (8); Selan Mataitai (23)
MID: Hanifah Kyaw (capt, 3); Uha Teh (13); Tadjou Sheyi Senaya (9); Chloé al Safi (12)
ATT: Nam Hyok-Jun (16); Nathalie Simon (5); Dave Rider (21)
Substitutes:
GK: Damien Dhiver (1); Xavier Xu (22)
DEF: Eo La (17); Ke Sho (20); Masashi Hasebe (2)
MID: Christophe Argentier (19); Keshet Zandberg (14); Giorgos Charisteas (7); Ie O (15)
ATT: Trevor Komu (10); John Andrews (18); Sébastien Lescrit (6)
After World Cup 28, several players in their mid-thirties retired, opening up places for new, younger team members. Four players (Chantier, Granville, Teh, al Safi) were called upon from the national female team, and now compete in both. Between World Cups 29 and 30, the number of women dropped from ten to seven, but six of those remained among the starting eleven. The team also includes 5 Indigenous Ariddians (including Sébastien Lescrit), of whom one is a woman (Uha Teh).
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.

Temporary players

Carl Labarque, William Smith, Ie Ewe, Jeanne Finnan and Michelle Dru were all amateurs who had previously competed in the first Ylompic Games, while Nam Hyok-Jun was a professional from the Ariddian Arctic Islands. Smith and Nam both subsequently remained with the national team. Dru and Finnan joined again as from World Cup 30.

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.
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.
