The Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation (RMSF; Alexandrian: Fédération Meckelmbourgeoise royale de football; Aspiranto: Reĝa Mekelnburga Futbalo-Federacio) is the sanctioning body for association football in metropolitan Meckelnburgh. It is responsible for the organization of the Meckelnburgh national football team and its domestic leagues, both professional and amateur.
Management
The federation is an agency of the kingdom's Ministry of Culture & Sport and is publicly funded.
Numerous independent teams and clubs existed prior to the RMSF, but lacked a unified sanctioning body. A formal federation was authorized in 2020 CE by the parliament of Meckelnburgh, which also provided financing for professional teams nationwide. After the success of the 2020 season, parliament has continued to appropriate RMSF funds for development and expansion.
Because of the sub-polar weather in Meckelnburgh, matches are often played indoors or in the snow, necessitating special facilities for many clubs and teams. The Ministry of Culture & Sport subsides a network of sportsplexes nationwide that provide for the warm-weather sports, including clubs of Meckelnish Soccer.
