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.

Squad
The following is the squad announced for Ariddia's participation in World Cup 28:
GK: Sandrine Leduc (1)
DEF: Yves al Jahdali (9); Tim Wald (14); Jean Kitenge (11)
MID: Ue Alt (cpt; 12); Michael Swimmer (21); Ta I (17); Hanifah Kyaw (3)

MID: John Sanjeeb (19); Wol Eosh (6); Cyril Lange (18)
ATT: Ul U (23); William Smith (15) ; Nam Hyok-Jun (16)
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.
Former players
Retired :
Phillip Lukeson (def, 18) , now aged 33
Uol Lat (mid, 6), now aged 36
Karim Chem (gk, 22), now aged 34
E Te (def, 3), now aged 35
E Lel (fwd, 20), now aged 32
Kolo Kouassi (def, 7), now aged 32
André Delherbe (mid, 15), now aged 31
Anan Bounthaiyavong (def, 16), now aged 33
Temporary players
Several players were unable to take part in the 19th Cup of Harmony and the 2nd Draggonni Inviyatii Cup due to club commitments, and new, temporary players were called upon. 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.

Players
Players to watch out for include Sandrine Leduc (#1), Frédéric Clément (#8), Yves al Jahdali (#9), Ue Alt (#12), Ta I (#17) and Hanifah Kyaw (#3).
Sandrine Leduc
Number: 1
Position: goalkeeper
Gender: female
Age: 36
Current Club: Union Sportive d'Albinhac (Nouvelle Macedoine)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
A tall woman, with long blond hair, and green-blue eyes. Initially lacking experience, she has increased in skill over recent years.
Leduc wears the captain’s armband whenever Alt is not playing. World Cup 28 may well be the 36-year-old's final participation in an international competition.
Clémentine Ramirez
Number: 2
Position: forward
Gender: female
Age: 30
Current Club: FC Sébazac (Nouvelle Macedoine)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
Hanifah Kyaw
Number: 3
Position: midfield
Gender: female
Age: 20
Current Club: Kelsey (Andossa Se Mitrin Vega)
First WC appearance: World Cup 27
The youngest player ever to have joined the national team, at the age of 16, Kyaw is a lively, enthusiastic young woman. She has long dark hair, mostly Oriental features, and dark yellowish skin bordering on a brownish hue. She has already joined Frédéric Clément as one of the unofficial spokespersons of the team, and seems perpetually optimistic and cheerful.
At the end of World Cup 27, with an average of over one goal per match, Kyaw moved from being a substitute attacker to being a midfielder and part of the starting eleven.
Ludovic Hue
Number: 4
Position: goalkeeper (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 34
Current Club: FC Sébazac (Nouvelle Macedoine)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
James Fields
Number: 5
Position: defence (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 31
Current Club: Rêvane City FC (Ariddia)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
Wol Eosh
Number: 6
Position: midfield (substitute)
Gender: female
Age: 26
Current Club: Tua Monafu (Andossa Se Mitrin Vega)
First WC appearance: World Cup 26
A young, West Ariddian-born woman, Eosh was granted Ariddian citizenship shortly before World Cup 26. She was born in poverty, and emigrated with the help of family members already settled in communist Ariddia. Her brown skin is slightly paler than that of most Wymgani, and her hair is dark brown.
West Ariddia requested her extradition on a charge of petty theft, and attempted to have her seized by the Audioslavian authorities during World Cup 26. The PDSRA subsequently denied the extradition request.
Aush Song
Number: 7
Position: defence (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 23
Current Club: Kelsey (Andossa Se Mitrin Vega)
First WC appearance: World Cup 27
Song is the first football player from the Ariddian Arctic Islands ever to join the national team. He integrated the team at the age of just 19.
Frédéric Clément
Number: 8
Position: forward
Gender: male
Age: 34
Current Club: Ceridhton Macks (Audioslavia)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
Traditionally, Ariddian football has always relied quite heavily on its leading forward pair – the most famous being Raphael and Myrtille Ford, and their predecessor Terry Singh. So all eyes are generally on Clément and fellow forward players Faraj (#10) and Ramirez (#2).
Clément has dark brown hair, and a youngish look – younger even than his years. He is quite charismatic, with a quick grin and a friendly attitude towards journalists – and people in general.
Yves al Jahdali
Number: 9
Position: defence
Gender: male
Age: 34
Current Club: Ceridhton United (Audioslavia)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
al Jahdali, tall, impassive-looking, with fairly long black hair and dark eyes, is said to be the cohesive force behind Ariddia’s defence, and is the only player never to have missed a match. In the early years of the Cup, Ariddia’s weakness was often its defence, a weakness later remedied but which may spring up again with a still relatively inexperienced team. al Jahdali is there to limit the risk of that happening.
Ismail Faraj
Number: 10
Position: forward
Gender: male
Age: 30
Current Club: Union Sportive d'Albinhac (Nouvelle Macedoine)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
Jean Kitenge
Number: 11
Position: defence
Gender: male
Age: 34
Current Club: Ceridhton United (Audioslavia)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
Ue Alt
Number: 12
Position: midfield; captain
Gender: male
Age: 36
Current Club: FC Sébazac (Nouvelle Macedoine)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
The team’s captain – an Indigenous Ariddian (or Wymgani) with light brown skin, somewhat ruffled-looking brown hair, and serious green eyes – is only the fourth person to captain Ariddia’s football team, after Michel Boulanger, Ranjit Khan and Wn Wahd. Thus it is up to Alt to pick up where his predecessors left off. He is seen as a capable leader, liked and trusted by his team-mates.
World Cup 28 may well be the 36-year-old's final participation in an international competition.
Peter Roberts
Number: 13
Position: defence (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 34
Current Club: Union Sportive d'Albinhac (Nouvelle Macedoine)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
Tim Wald
Number: 14
Position: defence
Gender: male
Age: 32
Current Club: Ousevale Borough (Krytenia)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
William Smith
Number: 15
Position: forward (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 23
Current Club: none
First WC appearance: World Cup 28
Smith is the only non-professional player in the team. Before joining the national team, he competed as part of Ariddia's male Olympic team in the Tyrellian Ylompic Games.
Nam Hyok-Jun
Number: 16
Position: forward (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 20
Current Club: Fetuo FC (Ariddian Arctic Islands)
First WC appearance: World Cup 28
Nam is the second Ariddian Arctic Islander to join the national team, after Aush Song.
Ta I
Number: 17
Position: midfield
Gender: female
Age: 31
Current Club: Tapia Reis (Andossa Se Mitrin Vega)
First WC appearance: World Cup 25
I, an Indigenous Ariddian, is a versatile player that some are already comparing to Ranjit Khan. Although not as talented perhaps as some of her team-mates, she has proved herself a solid, reliable presence on the field, with an ability to adapt to a variety of situations and defend as well as she attacks.
Cyril Lange
Number: 18
Position: midfield (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 28
Current Club: Tojas FC (Ariddia)
First WC appearance: World Cup 26
Lange is the great-grandson of the famous Lily Mayantar, but was born in Ariddia of her emigrant grand-daughter. He is reputed to be a skilled player himself, although he has had few opportunities to prove himself so far. He has red-tinged blond hair, and very pale brown skin.
John Sanjeeb
Number: 19
Position: midfield (substitute)
Gender: male
Age: 31
Current Club: FC Sébazac (Nouvelle Macedoine)

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.
At present, five stadia are 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.
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.
