After assisting in World Cup 22 with hosting duties, which saw the group Legalese was drawn into played in their homeland, the Black and Red made their only finals appearance, earned as the tri-host. LAFF has announced their intentions to return the Legalites to the world stage for WC 26, their first qualifying attempt since 22.

The National Soccer League played two seasons, starting with the year after WC XXII. The league folded after the collapse of the federal government, but the teams in what northen Legalese have continued to play an informal schedule against each other.
