Overview

The Nedalia Lions are the national football (soccer) team of Nedalia, supported and funded by the Nedalia Football Association. They are currently in the mid-20s in the KPB Ranking System, suggesting that they are one of the finer teams in the world today.

After initially showcasing some impressive talents at the Qualifying Stages of WC22 and WC23, the Lions were to quick to be labelled as one of the up and coming teams, and for a while, that label held true. They advanced to WC24, putting up strong displays before being knocked out of the Group Stages, and then went on to win the Cup of Harmony 15.

Following that, however, came a long spell of underachievement. The Lions 2nd Generation, by far the most talented bunch to have been put forward by Nedalia at that time, could not seem to put their individual brillance and transform it to winning. In fact, it would not be until WC 28 that the Nedalia Lions would qualify to the Group Stages, as many of the Lions 2nd Generation were entering the final phases of their careers, but since then, they have qualified for both WC29 and WC30, although their AOCAF 16 campaign was a disappointment, crashing in the 2nd Round after advancing to the Finals for the 3rd time in the competition in AOCAF 15.

With the last of the 2nd Generation retiring, a new leaf was to be turned over in Lions football.
