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

Squad

The following is the squad representing Ariddia in World Cup 30:

GK: Awad al Maharmeh (22)
DEF: Thérèse Chantier (4); Eot Ja (20); Aush Song (7)
MID: Hanifah Kyaw (capt, 3); Wol Eosh (6); Uha Teh (13); Tadjou Sheyi Senaya (9)
ATT: Nam Hyok-Jun (16); Michelle Dru (2); Nathalie Simon (5)

Substitutes:
GK: Cécile Granville (11); Damien Dhiver (1)
DEF: Julien Prévert (8); Selan Mataitai (23); Eo La (17)
MID: Chloé al Safi (12); Jeanne Finnan (18); Christophe Argentier (19); Keshet Zandberg (14)
ATT: William Smith (15); Dave Rider (21); Trevor Komu (10)

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. The team currently has its highest ever proportion of women (10, of which 6 in the starting 11). it also includes 5 Indigenous Ariddians, of which 2 are women.

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

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. Dru and Finnan joined again as from World Cup 30.

Position: midfield, captain
Gender: female
Age: 28
Current Club: Kelsey (Andossa Se Mitrin Vega)

The youngest player ever to have joined the national team, at the age of 16, Kyaw is a lively, enthusiastic woman. She has long dark hair, mostly Oriental features, and dark yellowish skin bordering on a brownish hue. She has become the unofficial spokeswoman 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. She was made captain after World cup 29.

Thérèse Chantier

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.

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.
