The Super League Football or SLF, is the top tier of professional football in the Confederate States of Floria. Contested by 20 teams, each team plays a total of 38 games.
Super League Football is a corporation in which member clubs and its supporter groups act as shareholders. The season operates from September to May and most games are played on Saturday afternoons but matches on Fridays and Mondays are common. Super League Football is one of the most popular football leagues in the world and joint most popular sports league in the Confederate States of Floria alongside the FFL.
Competition format
Football is a winter sport in Floria and the season runs from September to late May. Teams during the course of the season, play the other clubs twice at home and away for a total of 38 matches. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the SLF championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank.
Kick off times for Friday matches start at 8:30 pm, Saturdays at 3:30 pm and 6:30 pm, Sundays at 2:30 pm and 5:30 pm and Mondays at 7:30 pm.
Teams
In the inaugural season of Super League Football featured 20 teams. Twice the size of its predecessor, the Florian Premier League. The league was open to expansion in the future and hoped it would have 26 teams by 2020 however from 2019 onwards expansion plans were scrapped and promotion and relegation was introduced. Due to restructure, eight teams were relegated, leaving 12 teams left in the top tier. In 2020 at the end of the 2019-20 season, the league would reverse it's decision on promotion and relegation expanded back to twenty teams. The current teams are as follows:

History
Super League Football was founded in early 2018, after the breakaway of the Florian Premier League from the Florian FA, after many clubs were unhappy with how the top tier competition was run. The first season kicked off in August 2018 and lasted until May 2019. 20 teams competed in the inaugural season with Northcliff United winning the league. After a one-off league restructure, eight teams were relegated at the end of the season to accommodate the newly created second tier, Super League Football 2. A season later, Super League Football 2 was scrapped and eight teams were promoted to Super League Football resulting in the league returning back to twenty teams only this time the twenty teams would be split into two conferences of ten teams and an introduction of a playoff system. From 2021, clubs decided to scrap the Conference format and the Playoffs.
Organisation
Ownership
Super League Football in its inaugural season conducted under a single-entity structure in which teams and player contracts were directly acquired by the league. Each team had an investor-operator that was a shareholder in the league. The league had 20 investor-operators for its 20 clubs and therefore each club only had one each. However, Super League Football clubs approved an overhaul in league operation and it was announced on the 31st March 2019, that each club in both divisions must have 35% of their shares owned by its members and the rest by private investors. If a team does not have 35% of its shares owned by its members, teams face a risk of being expelled from the league.
Player purchase and salaries
The average salary for the league's players is around Cr 4 million. Player salaries are limited by a luxury tax to make the league more competitive. The current luxury tax threshold of the league is $200 million for each team. The league operates two transfer windows, however, in the second transfer window, it has been traditionally difficult to get players abroad as most leagues on Micras only have one transfer window. Therefore foreign players are mostly bought in the first transfer window. The league has a homegrown player policy and the league only allows teams to have 40% of their squads made up of foreign players (Starting from 2021). Failure to do so leads to points deductions and fines. The league during its inaugural season operated a Marquee Player Rule, which allowed teams to sign six players whose salaries exceeded the maximum cap. Corian footballer, Danijel Despotovic was the first player signing under this rule. Like other sports leagues in Floria, players can be traded or waived until an agreed deadline each season.
Youth development
Youth development is a hugely important policy of Super League Football. All clubs in Super League Football must operate a youth academy that accommodates youth teams from Under 7's to Under 23's. Most Super League Football sides enter their U23 sides into the Elite Development League, a qualifying tournament for the Florian Trophy to give youth players more competitive experience. Notable clubs which have produced high-quality players include Northcliff United, Northcliff City and most notably, Dragonmoor FC who has produced players such as Sam Butcher. The league operates a player draft with the idea of strengthening the lower strength clubs to improve the competitiveness of the league.
Branding
Super League Football has a unique brand which is shown to millions of football fans worldwide. The league logo is recognisable across Micras with the famous lion logo and comes in many colours such as green, yellow, purple and its default colour, pink. The league branding is modern and minimal and is appealing to all football fans especially towards fans of a younger generation. Super League Football as well as its famous logo also has its own anthem which is played when players enter the pitch on every matchday and featured regularly on international broadcasts.
Fan attendance
The SLF is the most-attended association football league on Micras, thanks to its large stadiums and affordable ticket prices compared to other sports leagues in Floria. It ranks as the second-highest attended professional sports league in the world, surpassed only by the Florian Football League.
Northcliff United boasts the highest average attendance of any football club globally, ahead of Cherry Trees FC from Craitland and Jogasim Revolution FC from Senya, which are the most popular clubs in their respective nations.
Among Micra's four major football leagues — the Premier League, CrFA League 1, SLF, and Top League — the SLF and Top League maintain the lowest ticket prices and the highest average attendances. Many stadiums in both leagues feature extensive terraced areas, either traditional or 'safe' standing sections, enhancing capacity and atmosphere.
To improve accessibility, SLF clubs limit the number of season tickets available, ensuring more fans have the opportunity to attend matches. Additionally, away teams are entitled to 10% of the stadium's capacity for their supporters. Match tickets often double as free rail passes, allowing fans to travel to and from games at no extra cost.
The average price for an SLF ticket is $15 for a standing spot — roughly equivalent to the hourly minimum wage in Floria — and $40 for a seated ticket. Clubs are prohibited from charging away supporters more than $20 per ticket.
International competitions
Qualification for FMF Champions League
Qualification criteria for 2021-22
The top two teams in Super League Football qualify for the subsequent season's FMF Champions' League group stage. The winners of the AEFA Champions' League may earn an additional qualification for the subsequent season's FMF Champions' League group stage if they are not in the top two.
The third-placed team in Super League Football, as well as the winner of the Florian Cup, qualifies for the subsequent season's AEFA Champions' League group stage, but if the winner also finished in the top three places in Super League Football or has won one of FMF or AEFA's major tournaments, then this place reverts to the team that finished fourth.
The number of places allocated to Florian clubs in FMF and AEFA competitions is dependent upon the position a country holds in the FMF club coefficients, which are calculated based upon the performance of teams in FMF and AEFA competitions in the previous five years. Currently, the ranking of Floria is third, behind Mercury and Craitland. Super League Football is AEFA's highest-ranked league.
Performance in international competition
Since the establishment of the league, Super League Football clubs have won the AEFA Champions' League twice and reached the now defunct AEFA Cup Final twice. Northcliff United reached the semi-finals in the FMF Champions' League in 2020 before the new 32 team format was introduced. Dragonmoor FC won the 2022-23 edition becoming the first Florian team to win the competition.
