The '''International Association Football League''' is a [[Wikipedia:Football (soccer)|football]] competition in which thirty-six clubs from six nations compete in two conferences, the Fire Conference and the Granite Conference.
  
Each club plays 34 matches per season, one home and one away against each of the other 17 clubs in its conference. At the end of the season, the lowest-placed club from each nation from each conference playoff to decide who is relegated into the top level of its nation's domestic league system – Bedistani clubs to the [[Súprelige]], Casaran clubs to the [[Casaran Domestic Soccer|Casaran Professional League First Division]], Milchaman clubs to the [[Milchama Football League]], Liverpool England clubs to the [[Liverpool England High League]], and Capitalizt clubs to the [[C4 Champions League]] – with another club from that nation taking its place at the discretion of the nation's football association.

The IAFL was created by the football associations of [[Bedistan]], [[Casari]], and [[Milchama]]. In the original format, a single conference of eighteen teams was used, and the winner won the league title. The team from each nation finishing lowest was relegated. In the third season, [[Liverpool England]] joined, and the league expanded to twenty-four teams, though the format remained essentially the same. For the fifth season, [[Capitalizt SLANI]]—recognized by the IAFL as the football association of the [[Unified Capitalizt States]]—and [[Krytenia]] joined, and rather than using a single thirty-six team league, the format was changed to two conferences of eighteen teams, three from each nation. Playoffs were added to determine the league winner and the teams to be relegated.

The International Association Football League is a football competition in which thirty-six clubs from six nations compete in two conferences, the Fire Conference and the Granite Conference.

Each club plays thirty-four matches per season, one home and one away against each of the other seventeen clubs in its conference. At the end of the season, one team from each nation is relegated to the top level of the nation’s domestic league system, determined by a playoff between the nation’s lowest finisher in each conference. The team is replaced with another club from that nation, chosen by the nation’s football association. The top four teams from each conference, regardless of nationality, play in a single-elimination tournament for the league title.

History

The IAFL was created by the football associations of Bedistan, Casari, and Milchama. In the original format, a single conference of eighteen teams was used, and the winner won the league title. The team from each nation finishing lowest was relegated. In the third season, Liverpool England joined, and the league expanded to twenty-four teams, though the format remained essentially the same. For the fifth season, Capitalizt SLANI—recognized by the IAFL as the football association of the Unified Capitalizt States—and Krytenia joined, and rather than using a single thirty-six team league, the format was changed to two conferences of eighteen teams, three from each nation. Playoffs were added to determine the league winner and the teams to be relegated.
