The International Association Football League is a football competition in which eighteen clubs, six each from the nations of Bedistan, Casari, and Milchama, compete.

Each club plays 34 matches per season, one home and one away against each of the other 17 clubs. At the end of the season, the lowest-placed club from each nation is relegated into the top level of its nation's domestic league system – Bedistani clubs to the Súprelige, Casaran clubs to the Casaran Professional League First Division, and Milchaman clubs to the Milchama Football League – with another club from that nation taking its place at the discretion of the nation's football association.

Special rules by nation

Bedistan

Because Bedistani domestic league seasons run twice as frequently as the IAFL, the promotion/relegation scheme for Bedistan is slightly altered. At the conclusion of an IAFL season, the lowest-placed Bedistani club is relegated to the Súprelige and the remaining five are joined by the Súprelige champions in the six-team Ínterlige the following season. The five IAFL clubs in the Ínterlige are guaranteed not to be relegated, but the promoted team does not enjoy this luxury. If the promoted team does not finish last in the Ínterlige, it becomes the Bedistani replacement club for the following IAFL season; otherwise it is relegated back to the Súprelige, and the Súprelige champions are the replacements.
